What role does the auriculotemporal branch have?
carries CN IX postganglionic secretomotor fibers from oticganglion to the parotid gland
What role does the lingual branch have?
lingual branch is a branch of the mandibular n (V3)
carries CNVII chordatympani to tongue
Where is the otic ganglion located in the infratemporal foramen?
medial to the mandibular n (V3)
What is the general path of the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX)?
tympanic branch passes through jugular foramen
enters middle ear
lesser petrosal nerve passes through foramen ovale to ITF
synapes in otic ganglion and postganglionic fibers are conveyed to parotid gland by the auriculotemporal n(V3)
What does the chorda tympani do?
unites facial nerve with lingual n (branch of v3)
carries preganglionic parasympathetics to submandibular ganglion
carries taste fibers from anterior 2/3 of tongue
What does the upper cavity of the TMJ do?
protrusion retrusion
What does the lower cavity of the TMJ do?
hinge action
What nerves are at risk with TMJ dislocation surgery?
facial and auriculotemporal
What nerve allows tears?
Facial n CN VII, it provides parasympathethic innervation to lacrimal gland

CN V1
What goes through the infraorbital foramen on the superficial face?
CN V2
What goes through the mental foramen on the superficial face?
CN V3
What bone supplies some attachments for mastication muscles?
Sphenoid bone (medial and lateral plates)
What is the composition of SCALP?
Skin
Connective tissue
Aponeurosis of Occipitofrontalis muscle
Loose connective tissue
Pericranium
What clinical signifcance does the connective tissue have of the scalp?
bleeding
What clinical significance does the loose connective tissue have on the scalp?
infection
What clinical significance does the aponeurosis have on the scalp?
wound healing
What is the buccinator innervated by?
Facial nerve
-considered a muscle of facial expression, but also holds foood in mouth
What are the motor innervation branches of the facial nerve (for facial expression)?
Temporal branches
Zygomatic branches
Buccal branches
Mandibular branches
Cervical branches
What is bells palsy caused by?
injury to facial nerve, or inflammation to sytlomastoid foramen (where n exits)
What role do the superior cervical ganglion play?
postganglionic sympathetic innervation to the sweat glands of the face
What is the sweat gland innervation of the face?
superior cervical ganglion,
postganglionic sympathetics
What provides cutaneous innervation to the face?
CN V
What else does CN V sensory innervate?
mucosal surface of cornea, paranasal sinuses, nasal cavity
what are the branches of V1?
frontal n
nasociliary n
lacrimal n
What are the two branches of the frontal n off of V1?
supratrochlear n
and supraorbital n
What are the two branches off of the nasociliary n off of V1?
infratrochlear n
and
external nasal n
How does V2 enter the ORBIT?
inferior orbital fissure,
(enters the pterygopalatine fossa by foramen rotundum)
Describe taste to anterior 2/3 of tongue
facial nerve sends special sensory fibers thru chorda tympani to join lingual n (CNV3)
Describe tears
Facial nerve sneds parasympathetic motor fibers thru greater petrosal n to pterygopalatine ganglion to CNV2 to lacrimal n
Remember
