Cranial Bones
|
- Frontal bone
- Parietal bone - Occipital bone - Temporal bone |
|
Facial Bones
|
- Sphenoid bone
- Nasal bone (Nose bridge) - Zygomatic bone (Cheek bones) - Maxilla (Between the upper lip/nose) - Mandible (Jaw) - Mastoid Process (Right behind the ear) |
|
Facial Muscles
|
- Orbicularis Oculi (Around the eyes)
- Orbicularis Oris (Between upper lip/nose) - Zygomaticus (By zygomatic) - Masseter (By mastoid process) - Buccinator (Between mouth/mastoid process) - Sternocleidomastoid (Coming down from behind the ear to suprasternal notch) - Trapezius |
|
Sutures
|
Meshed immoveable joints where adjacent cranial bones unite
|
|
Coronal Suture
|
Suture crowns the head from ear to ear at the union of the frontal and parietal bones
|
|
Sagittal Suture
|
Suture that separates the head lengthwise b/w the 2 parietal bones
|
|
Lambdoid Suture
|
Suture that separates parietal bones crosswise from occipital bone
|
|
Parotid glands
|
Largest salivary glands that are located in the cheeks over the mandible (not normally palpable)
- Anterior to/below the ear |
|
Submandibular glands
|
Salivary glands are beneath the mandible at the angle of the jaw
|
|
Sublingual glands
|
Salivary glands that lie in the floor of the mouth
|
|
Neck is divided into 2 triangles by the Sternomastoid muscle:
|
1. Anterior triangle: Lies in front, between the sternomastoid and the midline of the body
- Base of triangle = Up along lower border of mandible - Apex of triangle = down at the suprasternal notch 2. Posterior Triangle: Lies behind the sternomastoid with the trapezius muscle on the other side - Base of triangle = Along clavicle below - Apex of triangle = Towards the ear |
|
Lymph Glands
|
Glands that drain lymph fluid from the tissue, filter it and engulf pathogens before it enters into the circulation
|
|
Lymph Nodes (Names correspond with adjacent structures)
|
- Pre-auricular (In front of ear)
- Posterior auricular (Superior to mastoid process, right behind ear) - Occipital (at base of the skull) - Submental (Midline - behind tip of the mandible) - Submandibular (Halfway between angle and the tip of the mandible) - Tonsillar (Under angle of the mandible) - Superficial cervical (Overlying sternomastoid muscle) - Deep cervical (Deep under sternomastoid muscle) - Posterior Cervical (In posterior triangle along edge of trapezius muscle) - Supraclavicular (Just above and behind clavicle, at sternomastoid muscle) |
|
Thyroid Gland
|
- Highly vascular endocrine gland
- Straddles the trachea in the middle of the neck (2 lobes that each curve posteriorly curve between trachea/sternomastoid) - Stimulated by pituitary gland (TSH) - Synthesizes and secretes hormones that stimulate the rate of cellular metabolism (T4 & T3) |
|
Isthmus of Thyroid
|
Where the 2 lobes of the thyroid gland connect in the middle over the 2nd or 3rd tracheal rings
|
|
Cricoid Cartilage or Upper Tracheal Ring
|
Located just above the Isthmus
|
|
Thyroid Cartilage
|
- Located above the cricoid cartilage
- Has a small palpable notch in its upper edge ("Adam's Apple" in males) |
|
Hyoid Bone
|
- Highest part of the throat
- Palpable high in the neck at the level of the floor of the mouth |
|
Hyperthyroidism
|
When the thyroid gland becomes over active and secretes excess amounts of thyroid hormone
|
|
Subjective Data: Health History
|
1. Headaches/Migraines:
- Onset, Gradual, over hours or days?, Location, Character, etc 2. Head Injury: PQRSTU or OLDCARTS 3. Dizziness: - What exactly does person mean by dizziness? - Onset, associated factors? - Vertigo? (Objective - Room is spinning, Subjective - Person is spinning) 4. Neck pain or limitation of movement: - Onset? location? associated symptoms? stress? coping methods? Limited ROM? 5. Lumps or Swelling: - Infections? Tenderness? Dysphagia? Smoke? Drink alcohol? Thyroid issues? 6. History of head/neck surgery: - Why? When? How does person feel about results? |
|
Examination: Head, Face & Neck
|
- Inspect if person is awake, alert, oriented with memory intact (able to recall adequate info)
