Study Notes

Mandibular, Scalp & Face

  • The lecture covered the mandible, scalp, and face, and included objectives, anatomy, and the associated structures.
  • The session's date was 13-17/10/2024.
  • The lecturer(s) were Dr. Mona Zoair and Prof. Doaa Haiba.
  • The institution was Al Salam University.

Mandibular Anatomy

  • The mandible is horseshoe-shaped and has two rami (right and left).
  • Features of the mandibular body (outer surface) include the symphysis menti, mental protuberance, mental tubercle, oblique line, and mental foramen.
  • The mandibular body (inner surface) features include the mylohyoid line, submandibular fossa, sublingual fossa, superior genial tubercle, and inferior genial tubercle.
  • The ramus of the mandible features the mandibular foramen, lingula, and mylohyoid groove.
  • The mandible's processes include the coronoid process and condyloid process with head and neck.
  • The borders of the ramus of the mandible involve the anterior border, posterior border, and superior border.

Scalp Anatomy

  • The scalp is the soft tissue covering the skull cap.
  • It extends from the superciliary arches to the external occipital protuberance.
  • The scalp's layers are skin, connective tissue, epicranial aponeurosis, loose areolar tissue, and pericranium.
  • The connective tissue layer is a dense fibrofatty layer with fibrous septa that unite the skin to the underlying epicranial aponeurosis.
  • The epicranial aponeurosis is a sheet that joins the occipital and frontal bellies.
  • Loose areolar tissue occupies the subaponeurotic space.
  • The pericranium is the periosteum of the skull bones, contains blood vessels, and emissary veins.

Occipitofrontalis Muscle

  • Origin: the highest nuchal line, skin and superficial fascia of eyebrow.
  • Insertion: epicranial aponeurosis.
  • Nerve supply: facial nerve.
  • Action: moves scalp on skull and raises the eyebrow.

Sensory Nerve Supply of Scalp

  • The scalp is innervated by branches of the trigeminal nerve (anterior) and cervical spinal nerves (posterior).
  • The trigeminal nerve branches include supratrochlear nerve, supraorbital nerve, zygomaticotemporal nerve, and auriculotemporal nerve.
  • Cervical spinal nerves include the greater occipital nerve, third occipital nerve, and lesser occipital nerve.

Venous Drainage of Scalp

  • Superficial temporal vein joins the maxillary vein to form the retromandibular vein.

Branches of Ophthalmic Nerve

  • Lacrimal nerve supplies the lateral part of the upper eyelid.
  • Supraorbital nerve supplies the central part of the upper eyelid and forehead.
  • Supratrochlear nerve supplies the medial part of the upper eyelid and lower forehead.
  • Infratrochlear nerve supplies the medial part of the lower eyelid and side of the nose.
  • External nasal nerve supplies skin on side of nose.

Branches of Maxillary Nerve

  • Infraorbital nerve supplies the lower eyelid, cheek, side of nose, and upper lip.
  • Zygomaticofacial nerve supplies skin over the prominence of the cheek.
  • Zygomaticotemporal nerve supplies skin over the temple.

Branches of Mandibular Nerve

  • Mental nerve supplies the lower lip and chin.
  • Buccal nerve supplies skin over a small area of the cheek.
  • Auriculotemporal nerve supplies the skin of the auricle and scalp above it.

Important Muscles of Face

  • Orbicularis oculi arises from the medial palpebral ligament, inserts into the lateral palpebral raphe, and closes the eyelids.
  • Orbicularis oris encircles the oral orifice and compresses the lips.
  • Buccinator compresses the cheeks and lips, positioning food for chewing.

Arterial Supply of Face

  • The facial artery arises from the external carotid artery and supplies the face.
  • The superficial temporal artery arises from the external carotid artery and supplies the scalp and face.

Venous Drainage of Face

  • The facial vein is formed at the medial angle of the eye, descends behind the facial artery, and joins the retromandibular vein. It empties into the internal jugular vein.
  • The transverse facial vein joins the superficial temporal vein.

Lymphatic Drainage of Face

  • The forehead and anterior face drain into submandibular lymph nodes.
  • The lateral face drains into parotid lymph nodes.
