AROMS anatomy Flashcards
skin composed of
superficial epidermis
underlying dermis
subcutaneous connective tissue
Relaxed skin tension lines?
implication in surgery
provide excellent camouflage of incisions within or PARALLEL to them — surgical approaches to the face should attempt to place incisions at the borders of facial subunits and parallel to RSTLsf
fat pads of the face
malar fat pad
buccal fat pad
malar fat pad
a triangular structure superficial to the SMAS (The superficial musculoaponeurotic system, or SMAS, is often described as an organized fibrous network composed of the platysma muscle, parotid fascia, and fibromuscular layer covering the cheek. This system divides the deep and superficial adipose tissue of the face and has region-specific morphology) and mimetic muslces
oriented with its base along the nasolabial fold and apex at the zygomatic prominence
buccal fat pad
a defined entity with a central body and three processes
- body
-buccal process
-pterygomandibular process
- temporal process
Layers of the scalp?
SCALP
S: skin
C: connective tissue / fat / subcutaneous
A: aponeurosis (of galea)
L: loose areolar tissue
P : pericranium
the skin, CT, and aponeurosis are intimately bound together and move as one unit called the scalp proper
the aponeurosis is a tendinous sheath that connexts the frontalis anteriorly to the occipitalis posteriorly
temporal fascial layers?
continuation of?
when the galea reaches temporal region - it is called the superficial temporal fascia or the temporopariatel fascia
- temporoparietal fascia is confluent with galea superiorly and the SMAS ingeriorly
- it presents as a thin whispy dull white color
below the superficial temporal fascia lies the DEEP temporalis fascia which lies directly over the temporalis muscles
- presents as a stark white / salmon skin appearance
below the superficial temporal fascia?
lies the deep temporalis fascia which lies directly over the muscle
temporal branch of facial nerve location?
implicatin?
