WEEK 5:

Anatomy introduction to face, jaw and scalp:

QuestionAnswer
the cranium is formed of how many bones 22 bones
neurocranium bony case of the brain
viscerocranium facial bones
neurocranium formed of how many bones 8 bones
singular neurocranium bones near midline (4) frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid, and occipital
two bilateral pairs of neurocranium bones (2) temporal and parietal
aspects of the neurocranium (2) cranial base and calvarium
contents of the neurocranium (3) brain, its vasculature, meninges, and proximal part of cranial nerves
strongest bone in the skull petrous part of temporal bone
what are sutures fibrous connections of bones of skull
squamosal suture connect temporal bones to parietal bone
lamboidal sutures connects parietal bones to occipital bones
coronal suture connects frontal bones to parietal bones
pterion parietal, temporal, sphenoidal bone and frontal bone come together to form the weakest part of the skull (most fracturable part)
clinical importance of pterion where many bones meet and overlay the meningeal artery - so if injured could affect vascularisation to meninges
viscerocranium aka facial skeleton is on the anterior part of cranium
viscerocranium consists of how many bones 14 bones surrounding the mouth, nose and most of the orbit
viscerocranium bones near midline (2) mandible and vomer (inconsistent others)
bilateral viscerocranium bones (6) maxilla, inferior nasal conchae, zygomatic, palatine, nasal and lacrimal
endoscopic pituitary surgery gives access to pituitary gland via nasal canal needing to go through sphenoid bone and entry into pituitary fossa
where can infection spread in the scalp in the loose connective tissue layer
what is bleeding in the scalp like profuse bleeding of the scalp when cut/lacerated
muscles of facial expression produce effect by attaching to bone or fascia and pulling on the skin
muscles of fascial expression surrounds what facial orifices (mouth, eyes, nose) serving as sphincter and dilator mechanism
what type of supply goes to facial muscles motor
facial nerves include CNVII
CNVII controls what (6) posterior auricular, temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular, and cervical
importance of CN7 corneal blink reflex
main trunk of CN7 engulfed by parotid gland
what leads to Bell's palsy CN7 denervation
Trigeminal nerve - CNV cutaneous innervation of face and anterior scalp
CNVI opthalmic nerve
CN V2 maxillary nerve
CN V3 mandibular nerve
trigeminal nerve is what cranial nerve CN V
arterial blood supply to face has most branches of external carotid artery
what artery is the major supply to the face facial artery
potential route of spread of infection from face to cranial dural sinus facial vein -> superior opthalmic vein and cavernous sinus
muscles of mastication (4) temporalis, masseter, medial pterygoid and lateral pterygoid
function of digastric muscle opens mouth
what muscle opens mouth digastric muscle
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is what type of joint gliding and hinge type synovial joint
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is formed between mandibular fossa of temporal bone and condyloid process of mandible
what separates temporomandibular joint (TMJ) into superior and inferior compartments articular disc
function of articular disc in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) separates temporomandibular joint (TMJ) into superior and inferior compartments
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is stabilised by various ligaments
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements are produced by muscles of mastication
mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve CN V3
the jaw clenching test for motor function uses what nerve CN V
CN V3 mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve
CN V nerve involved in the jaw clenching test for testing motor function
branches of external carotid artery (2) maxillary artery and temporalis (which is also supplied by superficial temporal artery)
blood supply for muscles of mastication branches of external carotid artery (maxillary artery and temporalis which is supplied by superficial temporal artery)
functions of salivary glands secrete saliva into oral cavity, keep mucous membrane moist, lubricates food to aid mastication, digest starch and carbohydrates
how many main salivary glands 3 and multiple small accessory glands
major salivary glands include (3) parotid gland, submandibular gland, and sublingual gland
motor nerve supply to fascial and masticatory muscles
sensory nerve supply to face
