What are the anterior structures of the mandible?
mental protuberance
mental tubercle
oblique line
What is the function of the oblique line?
separates the body from the alveolar (teeth) portion of the mandible
What is the main artery that supplies blood to the face?
common carotid artery (CCA)
The common carotid artery splits at the superior border of the thyroid cartilage to become what two branches?
1. internal carotid artery
2. external carotid artery
What does the external carotid artery supply?
supplies blood to the face via facial and temporal arteries
supplies the entire face except for the glabella
What structures does the internal carotid artery supply with blood?
1. glabella
2. brain (forms part of the Circle of Willis)
What is CN V (5) and what is its function?
Trigeminal N.
sensation to the entire face
innervates muscles of mastication (chewing)
What is CN VII (7) and what is its function?
Facial N (CN 7)
innervates muscles of facial expression
Frontalis
Function
raises eyebrows
Corrugator
Function
knits eyebrows together
Procerus
Function
wrinkles nose
Orbicularis oris
Function
closes mouth
(gravity opens the mouth)
Zygomaticus
Function
raises corners of mouth superior lateral (real smile)
Dilator nares
Function
opens the nostrils
Compressor nares
Function
closes nostrils

Depressor labii inferioris
Function
depresses lower lip
Buccinator
Function
compresses the cheeks
What is dysphasia and what muscle is involved?
dysphasia occurs after stroke
patients lose the ability to push food back into the oral cavity--> can lead to choking
Buccinator muscle is affected

Function
closes the eye
Levator palpebrae superioris
Function
elevates the eyelids
What is the only facial muscle not considered a muscle of facial expression?
the levator palpebrae superioris is innervated by CN3, not the facial n. and is therefore not considered a muscle of facial expression
What CN innervates all facial muscles?
