23 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Pterion boundaries, contents, and injury

Junction = frontal, temporal, parietal, and sphenoid bone


4 cm above midpoint of zygomatic arch (malar bone)


Greater wing of sphenoid meets anterioinferior angle of parietal bone


Contents = anterior branch of Middle meningeal artery


Injury = epidural hematoma

4 muscles of mastication

All innervated by V3 of trigeminal nerve


1) Masseter = elevates mandible


2) Temporalis = elevates and retracts mandible


3) Medial Pterygoid = Protracts and elevates mandible


4) Lateral Pterygoid = protracts and depresses mandible


Medial + Lateral = grinding motion

Nerves of Temporal region

Lesser Petrosal (IX) = PS fibers to parasympathetic gland for salivation (involved in Frey's Syndrome)


Mandibular Division of Trigeminal nerve (V3) = sensory (GVA) and motor (SVE)

Mnemonic for branches of Maxillary artery

Mayo Doesn't Make It Better


Middle Meningeal Artery


Deep Temporal arteries (ant. and post.)


Masseteric artery


Inferior Alveolar artery


Buccal artery

Temporomandibular joint and ligaments

Hinge and sliding joint; only synovial joint in head


Slight opening = Hinge only


Jaw opens wide = hinge + sliding


Ligaments (3)


Stylomandibular


Sphenomandibular


Lateral Temporalmandibular

Temporal Fossa Contents

Temporalis muscle


Deep temporal and Middle Meningeal Artery


Auriculotemporal nerve (V3)


Zygomaticotemporal nerve (V2)

Temporomandibular ligament

Reinforces TMJ on the lateral surface


Covered by parotid gland


Prevents excess movement in the post. direction = protects the external auditory meatus

Sphenomandibular ligament

Flat, thin band from spine of sphenoid to lingula of mandible


Medial side of TMJ


Derived from 1st pharyngeal arch

Stylomandibular ligament

Styloid process to ramus of the mandible


Separates Parotid gland from submandibular gland


Thickened band of deep cervical fascia

Temporalis OIA

O = floor of the temporal fossa


I = coronoid process and anterior border of the Mandibular ramus (underneat malar bone)


A = elevates and retracts the ramus

Masseter OIA and what crosses it

O = Inferior surface of zygomatic arch


I = medial surface of mandible near its angle


A = elevates the mandible


Cross superficially by transverse facial artery, parotid duct, and buccal branch of facial nerve (CNVII)

Lateral Pterygoid OIA

O: Upper head = infratemporal surface of greater wing of sphenoid; Lower head = lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate


I = neck of the mandible and articular disc


A = protracts and depresses the mandible


Also: deviates mandible to contralateral side when working w/ medial pterygoid = grinding

Medial Pterygoid OIA

O: superficial head = tuberosity of the maxilla; Deep head = medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate


I = medial surface of angle of mandible


A = protracts and elevates the mandible

Maxillary artery

Larger of the 2 terminal branches of the external carotid


usually superficial to the lateral pterygoid muscle

3 parts of maxillary artery

1) Mandibular = deep to or embedding in the parotid gland


2) Pterygoid = to pterygoid, masseter, and buccinator


3) Pterygopalatine to the fossa

Pterygoid Venous Plexus

Lateral to the maxillary artery and lateral pterygoid muscle = superficial


Tributaries correspond to the maxillary artery


Coalesces to form the maxillary vein which joins superficial temporal vein = Retromandibular vein

Branches of Undivided Mandibular Nerve (V3)

Immediately after exiting foramen ovale


Sensory = Meningeal branch to the dura of middle cranial fossa


Motor (SVE)


N2 medial pterygoid


N2 tensor tympani muscle


N2 tensor veli palatini

SVE's

Innervate muscles of branchiomeric origin


NOT somites (somatic muscles)


Branchial arches


Mastication muscles come from 1st branchial arch


2nd branchial arch = muscles of facial expression


Tensor Tympani OIA

O = Auditory tube and greater wing of sphenoid


I = handle of the malleus


A = pulls handle of malleus medially and tenses tympanic membrane = reduces amplitude of its oscillations

Tensor Veli Palatini OIA

O = scaphoid fossa of the medial pterygoid plate


I = palatine aponeurosis


A = elevates the palate during swallowing

Anterior Division of Mandibular nerve (V3)

ANTERIOR = SMALL MOTOR (SAM)


Sensory


Long Buccal Nerve = supplies skin and mucosa over most of the cheek and gingiva; penetrates buccinator BUT no motor innervation


Motor


Deep temporal nerves


Masseteric nerve


Nerve to lateral pterygoid

Posterior Division of Mandibular nerve (V3)

POSTERIOR = LARGE SENSORY (LiPS)


Sensory


Auriculotemporal nerve


Lingual Nerve = ant. 2/3 of tongue


Inferior Alveolar nerve = teeth of lower jaw; exits as mental nerve to give sensory to anterior chin


Motor


Nerve to Mylohyoid and Ant. Belly of Digastric = branch of Inferior Alveolar

Nerve that senses taste

Chorda tympani


Branch of the 7th nerve (Facial Nerve)


Together w/ lingual = pain, temp, touch, and TASTE to ant. 2/3 of tongue
