Scalp, Face, Parotid Flashcards
(112 cards)
What are the 5 layers of the SCALP?
- Skin
- Connective tissue (dense)
- Aponurotic layer
- Loos connecctive dissue
- Pericranium
WHat is the first layer of the scalp?
Skin
What is the 2nd layer of the scalp? Describe
Dense connective tissue
Lots of blood vessels and nerve endings for cutaneous innervation.
LOTS of bleeding, wounds stay open unless stiching.
What is the 3nd layer of the scalp? Describe
Aponuerotic layer
* Thin flat tendonous layer
What is the 4th layer of the scalp? Describe
Loose connective tissue
* Not as tight and organized
* Infection spread more easily
What layer of the scalp is loose and therefore alows for the spread of infection more easily?
Loose Connective tissue
5th and innermost layer of the scalp. Describe
Pericranium
* Basically periosteum
* Sits directly adheared to the bone
An epicranial aponeurousis (thin tendanous sheath over skull)
Occipitofrontalis
How many bellys does the Occipitofrontalishave?
2 bellys;
occipital & frontal belly
Explain the attachment and innervation of the occipital belly of the occipitofrontalis
Attachments:
Occipital bone (superior to nuchal line and mastoid process) and epicranial aponeurosis (galea aponeurotica)
Innervation:
Posterior auricular branch
Explain the *attachment, innervation, and action * of the Frontal belly of the occipitofrontalis
Attachments:
To the skin above the eyebrows and the epicranial aponeurosis.
Innervation:
Temporal branch of the facial nerve [VII]
Action:
Move the scalp wrinkle the forehead, and rasie the eyebrows.
What are the 4 main cutaneous innervation of the scalp
(not the sub branches)
- Opthalmic Nerve V1
- Maxillary Nerve V2
- Mandibular Nerve V3
- Cervical Plexus (post rami)
Cutaneous Innervation of the Scalp
What are the 2 branches of the Opthalmic Nerve V1
- Supratrochlear n.
- Supra-orbital n
Cutaneous Innervation of the Scalp
What is the branch off the Maxillary Nerve V2
Zygomaticotemporaln.
Cutaneous Innervation of the Scalp
What is the branch off the Mandibular Nerve V3
Auriculotemporaln.
Cutaneous Innervation of the Scalp
What are the cutanous innervation of the posterior scalp an neck?
Post rami C2-C4 of the Cervical Plexus
Cutaneous Innervation of the Scalp
What nerves comes of the posterior ramus of C2 and innervates the back of the head?
Greater Occipital Nerve
Cutaneous Innervation of the Scalp
What 2 nerves comes off the posterior ramus of C2 C3 and innervates the posterior lateral side of neck and head by the ears and behind?
- Lesser occipital
- Greater auricular
Cutaneous Innervation of the Scalp
What nerves innervates the back of the neck via the posterior ramus of C3?
Third occipital N.
Cutaneous Innervation anterior face
Explain the Supratrochlear nerve
Branch that comes off V1 and comes up the medial aspect of the forhead
Cutaneous Innervation anterior face
Explain the Supra-orbital N.
Branch that comes off V1 and is right above the eye travels up the forhead to superior portion of scalp
more medial
Cutaneous Innervation anterior face
Explain the Zygomaticotemporaln.
Branches that come off V2 and are on the lateral aspect of the forhead
Cutaneous Innervation anterior face
Explain the Auriculotemporaln
Branch that comes off V3 that come in front of ear, on the side of the temporal bone
What layer does all cutaneous innervation of the scalp run?
2nd layer; dense connective tissue
