Week 8: Deep Face Flashcards
fossa of deep face or or temporal region
- temporal fossa
* infratemporal fossa
temporal fossa
- lies superior to zygomatic arch
* contains temporalis muscle (mastication)
infratemporal fossa
- inferior and deep to the zygomatic bone
- contains lateral and medial pterygoids (mastication), mandibular nerve, and maxillary artery
- also contains otic ganglion, chorda tympani nerve, and pterygoid plexus of veins
temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
between temporal bone and mandibular condyle
muscles involved in elevation of mandible
- temporalis, masseter, and medial pterygoid
* close the mouth
muscles involved in protraction (protrusion) of mandible
lateral pterygoid
muscles involved in opening mouth
lateral pterygoid, assisted by digastric, mylohyoid, and geniohyoid
muscles involved in retraction of mandible
temporalis and masseter
muscles involved in side to side movement of mandible
medial and lateral pterygoids
innervation and supply of temporalis
deep temporal nerves; deep temporal arteries (branches of maxillary artery)
anterior division of mandibular nerve
- runs forward under lateral pterygoid and then continues as buccal nerve
- gives rise to the deep temporal nerves and the nerves that supply the masseter and lateral pterygoid muscles
•deep temporal nerves
- from anterior division of mandibular nerve
* supply temporalis muscle
posterior division of mandibular nerve
descends and divides into lingual, inferior alveolar (nerve to the mylohoid) and auriculotemporal nerve
lingual nerve location
- desends from under the lateral pterygoid, passing down and forward to the medial surface of the mandible
- joined by the preganglionic parasympathetic chorda tympani nerve (from CN VII)
chorda tympani synapses
in the submnadibular ganglion to innervate submandibular and sublingual glands
inferior alveolar nerve location
just posterior to lingual nerve and enters mandibular foramen along with inferior alveolar artery (branch of maxillary artery)
auriculotemporal nerve also conveys
CN IX postganglionic parasympathetic fibers from otic ganglion to parotid gland
otic ganglion located
medial aspect of CN V3 as it exits foramen ovale
maxillary artery arises
- posterior to the neck of the mandible as a branch of the external carotid
- runs through infratemporal fossa to enter pterygopalatine fossa
maxillary artery gives rise to
- inferior alveolar artery
- middle meningeal artery
- buccal artery
- sphenopalatine artery
- muscular branches
inferior alveolar artery enters
mandibular foramen with the inferior alveolar nerve
middle meningeal artery enters
foramen spinosum to the middle cranial fossa
muscular branches of maxillary artery supply
temporalis, medial and lateral pterygoids, and masseter
buccal artery accompanies
buccal nerve to the cheeck
sphenopalatine artery
the terminal artery of maxillary artery; enters posterior nasal cavity
nasal cavity
- 1st part of conduction portion of respiratory system
* has 3 regions: nasal vestibule, respiratory region, and olfactory region
nasal vestibule
most anterior part of nasal cavity; contains hair
respiratory region has
thick glandular mucosa
olfactory region
the superior third; contains minute filaments of the olfactory nerves entering the cribiform plate
medial wall of nasal cavity formed by
=nasal septum
•vomer and perpendicular plate of ethmoid bone
•anteriorly it completed by septal cartilage
nasal septum covered by
respiratory mucosa
air leaves the nose through
posterior nasal aperture, called the choana, where it enters the nasopharynx
superior, middle, and inferior conchae project from
the lateral wall of nasal cavity with superior, middle, and inferior meatuses (passages) lying below the conchae
4 paired paranasal sinuses are
air-filled cavities lined by respiratory mucosa that reduce the weight of the skull
paranasal sinuses open into
the roof or lateral wall of the nasal cavity
name the 4 paired paranasal sinuses
- frontal
- ethmoid
- maxillary
- sphenoid
