Five layers of the scalp
Skin, CT, Aponeurotic layer, Loose CT, pericranium
How many layers tear with a scalping injury?
All the way up to the Loose CT layer (3 top tightly bound layers)
Where doe the blood vessels and nerves in the scalp run?
In the dense CT. Holds vessels open when they are cut. Excessive bleeding
What is the epicranial aponeurosis?
Galea aponeurotica - attaches two bellies of occipitofrontalis muscle
Muscles of facial expression develop from where?
Second pharyngeal (branchial) arch
What are the muscles of facial expression innervated by?
CN 7
What are the four groups of facial expression?
Orbital
Nasal
Oral
Other
What is the orbital group of facial expression?
Orbicularis oculi

Palpebral part which gently closes eye.
Orbital part which more forcefully and tightly closes eye.
What does orbicularis oculi do?
Must be functional for corneal and blink reflexes.
What muscles are in the oral group of facial expression?
Orbicularis oris.
Buccinator.
Function of buccinator?
Important in expelling air from mouth as in whistling and playing instruments.

Also important in keeping food between the teeth when chewing.
What penetrates the buccinator muscle?
Penetrated by the parotid (Stensen’s) duct.
What does the buccinator share with the superior pharyngeal constrictor?
Pterygomandibular raphe
What muscles are in the nasal group?
Nasalis
Procerus
Depressor septi nasi
What does nasalis do?
Involved in flaring the nostrils.
What does procerus do?
Draws medial border of eyebrows downward.
What does depressor septi nasi do?
Pull nasal septum downward to help flare nostrils.
What muscles are in the "other" group?
Platysma
Occipitofrontalis
Auricular (Vestigial in most people.)
What does platysma do?
Tenses skin of the neck.
What does the occipitofrontalis do?
Associated with the scalp
Frontalis wrinkles forehead.
What does the auricular muscle do?
About 10-20% of human can wiggle their ears.
What is the parotid gland?
Largest of the 3 major salivary gland
What is the name of the duct for the parotid gland?
Stensen’s duct
What passes through the parotid gland?
Facial nerve (motor)
What is embedded within the substanc of the parotid gland?
External carotid
Retromandibular vein
What is the facial artery a branch of?
Major blood supply to face.
Branch of external carotid.

Arises from anterior aspect of external carotid.
What are the branches of the facial artery?
Branches:
Labial branches
Inferior
Superior
Lateral nasal
Angular
What is the path of the facial artery?
Passes deep to submandibular gland.
Curves around inferior border of mandible, anterior to masseter muscle.
What is the transverse facial a branch of?
The superficial temporal, arises within the substance of the parotid gland
What are the branches of the opthamalic artery?
Branches of ophthalmic artery.
Zygomaticofacial.
Zygomaticotemporal.
Dorsal nasal.
Terminal branch of ophthalmic.
What are the branches of the mental artery?
Infraorbital.
Buccal.
Mental.
With what do the veins of the face anastamose?
Veins of the face anastomose with deep venous structures.
Pterygoid plexus.
Cavernous sinus.
Why is an infection on your face dangerous?
Anastomoses are valveless and therefore infection can spread to deep structure.

Spread to cavernous sinus extremely dangerous. - beneath your brain
What is the lymphatic drainage of the face?
Drainage to primarily three groups of nodes.
Submental
Submandibular
Pre-auricular and parotid

All into the DEEP CERVICAL NODES
What are the two largest deep cervical nodes?
Jugulodigastric
Jugulo-omohyoid,
Where does the jugulo-omohyoid receive drainage from?
which also receives drainage from the tongue, receives drainage from the submental nodes.
Where does the jugulodigastric node receive drainage from?
receives drainage from pre-auricular and parotid.
What is the only sensory nerve of the face?
Trigeminal
What are the five sensory branches of the opthalamic trigeminal?
Supraorbital
Supratrochlear.
Infratrochlear
Lacrimal
External nasal
What are the three branches of the maxillary nerve of the trigeminal?
Infraorbital.
Zygomaticotemporal.
Zygomaticofacial.
Three sensory branches of trigeminal?
Ophthalmic
Maxillary
Mandibular
What are the functional divisions of the facial nerve?
Branchial Motor

Special Sensory

Parasympathetic
What does the Branchial motor branch of the facial nerve innervate?
Motor to muscles of facial expression

Also stapedius muscle, posterior belly of digastric muscle
What is the special sensory innervation of the facial nerve?
Taste anterior 2/3 of tongue via chorda tympani
What is the parasympathetic innervation of the facial nerve?
Preganglionic efferents arise in the superior salivatory nucleus

Via greater petrosal and nerve of pterygoid canal to pterygopalatine ganglion

Via chorda tympani to submandibular gland
What is the motor innervation of the facial nerve?
2nd pharyngeal (branchial) arch

Temporal
Zygomatic
Buccal
Mandibular
Cervical
What is the course of the facial nerve?
Enters via internal acoustic meatus --> gives off greater petrosal --> genu (bend) --> sensory ganglion (geniculate ganglion) --> Facial canal (covered in bone) --> travels through the middle ear cavity --> gives off nerve to stapedius muscle --> continues in bone in facial canal --> gives off the chorda tympanae branch (goes back up into middle ear cavity) --> out the stylomastoid foramen
What is the course of the chorda tympani nerve?
Chordae --> middle ear cavity --> between incus and malleus deep to tympanic membrane --> through the petrytympanic fissure.
Why do deep lacerations of the scalp gape open?
Deep lacerations, those passing through the aponeurosis pull of the two bellies of the occipitofrontalis muscle.
