Study Notes
Scalp Layers
- Scalp consists of five layers: skin, connective tissue, aponeurosis, loose connective tissue, and pericranium.
- The loose connective tissue layer contains emissary veins, making this area "dangerous" due to potential for infection spread.
- Emissary veins connect scalp veins with intracranial venous sinuses.
Scalp Muscles
- Epicranius muscle forms the main muscle of the scalp and has two parts:
- Occipitofrontalis:
- Occipital belly
- Frontal belly
- Temporoparietalis
- Occipitofrontalis:
Scalp Arteries
- Scalp is supplied by branches of the external carotid and internal carotid arteries:
- Supraorbital artery and vein
- Superficial temporal artery and vein
- Occipital artery and vein
- Posterior auricular artery and vein
Scalp Innervation
- The scalp receives sensory innervation from branches of:
- Trigeminal nerve (CN V):
- Ophthalmic nerve (V1)
- Maxillary nerve (V2)
- Mandibular nerve (V3)
- Supraorbital nerve
- Zygomaticotemporal nerve
- Greater occipital nerve (C2)
- Lesser occipital nerve (C2, C3)
- Auriculotemporal nerve
- Trigeminal nerve (CN V):
Lymphatic Drainage of the Head
- The lymphatic vessels of the scalp drain into the superficial cervical lymph nodes.
Facial Muscles of Expression
- Muscles of expression are responsible for facial expressions.
- These muscles can be grouped according to their location:
- Around the eye
- Around the nose
- Around the mouth
Muscles Around the Eye
- Orbicularis Oculi:
- Orbital part: tightly closes the eyelids
- Palpebral part: closes the eyelids, blinking, sleeping
- Lacrimal part: dilates the lacrimal sac
- Corrugator supercilii: pulls the eyebrows medially and downwards creating a frown
- Depressor supercilii: depresses the eyebrow
Muscles Around the Nose
- Nasalis:
- Transverse part: compresses the nose
- Alar part: widens the nostrils
- Procerus: depresses the medial eyebrow
- Depressor septi: depresses the nasal septum
Muscles Around the Mouth
- Orbicularis oris: closes the mouth
- Depressor labii inferioris: depresses the lower lip
- Depressor anguli oris: pulls down the corner of the mouth
- Mentalis: elevates the chin and protrudes the lower lip
- Levator labii superioris: elevates the upper lip
- Levator anguli oris: elevates the angle of the mouth
- Zygomaticus major: elevates the angle of the mouth and retracts the upper lip laterally (smiling)
- Zygomaticus minor: elevates the upper lip
- Levator labii superioris alaque nasi: elevates the upper lip and dilates the nostrils
- Risorius: retracts the corner of the mouth laterally
- Buccinator: compresses the cheek and helps with blowing and sucking
Modiolus
- The modiolus is a point where many muscles of facial expression converge at the corner of the mouth.
Facial Nerve Innervation
- The facial nerve (CN VII) is responsible for innervating the muscles of facial expression through its five branches.
Arteries of the Face
- The arteries supplying the face are primarily branches of the external carotid artery:
- Facial artery
- Maxillary artery
- Superficial temporal artery
- The ophthalmic artery, a branch of the internal carotid artery also supplies some facial structures.
Veins of the Face and Head
- The veins of the face and head generally follow the same course as the arteries and have the same names.
Lymphatic Drainage of the Face
- The lymphatic vessels of the face drain into the superficial cervical lymph nodes.
