Study Notes
Cranial Nerves and Arteries
- The oculomotor nerve supplies the superior oblique muscle, lateral rectus muscle, inferior rectus muscle, orbicularis oculi muscle, and procerus muscle.
- The ophthalmic artery is a branch of the external carotid artery. It enters the orbit through the superior orbital fissure and supplies the lacrimal gland. It passes through the inferior orbital fissure.
- The inferior ophthalmic vein exits the orbit through the inferior orbital fissure.
- The levator palpebrae muscle is innervated by the oculomotor nerve (CN III).
Other Cranial Nerves
- The abducens nerve leaves the skull through the superior orbital fissure.
- The ophthalmic artery's branches include the posterior ethmoidal artery, angular artery, infraorbital artery, and the superior alveolar artery. The posterior ethmoidal artery is a branch of the ophthalmic artery.
- The piriform recess of the pharynx contains the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve. It is located in the nasopharynx.
Other Structures
- The lymphoid Waldeyer's ring does not include parotid lymph nodes.
- The glossopharyngeal nerve innervates the parotid gland via parasympathetic fibers.
- The vagus nerve exits the skull through the lateral part of the jugular foramen
- The hypoglossal nerve innervates all tongue muscles except the palatoglossus and carries sensory innervation from the superior tongue surface. It leaves the skull through the lateral part of the jugular foramen.
- The infraorbital nerve passes through the inferior orbital fissure and supplies the superior lip
- The pterygopalatine ganglion lies on the lateral side of the optic nerve, receives parasympathetic fibers from the greater petrosal nerve, and sympathetic fibers from the plexus of the external carotid artery. It receives a sensory branch from the mandibular nerve.
- The lacrimal gland's secretory pathway involves the superior salivatory nucleus, greater petrosal nerve, pterygopalatine ganglion, zygomatic nerve, and lacrimal nerve.
Additional Details
- The mandibular nerve includes the lingual nerve as a branch.
- Incisors typically have two roots in the maxilla. Molars in the mandible usually have three roots. Third molars sometimes are absent in the decidous dentition.
- The vallate papillae form a V-shaped row in front of the sulcus terminalis.
- Muscles of the tongue include the superior longitudinal muscle, genioglossus muscle, styloglossus muscle, mylohyoid muscle, and hyoglossus muscle. The mylohyoid muscle isn't part of the tongue.
- Muscles of mastication include the temporalis, masseter, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid muscles. The orbicularis oris is not a muscle of mastication.
- The posterior chamber of the eye is part of the vascular coat.
- The iris is part of the vascular coat.
- The macula lutea, or yellow spot, is the point of best vision in the eye.
- The structures that drain into the middle nasal meatus include the nasolacrimal duct and the frontal, maxillary, and anterior ethmoidal sinuses. Only the frontal, maxillary, and anterior ethmoidal sinuses are included.
- The facial nerve has a component called the intermediate nerve, which is smaller. Its motor nucleus is in the brainstem.
- The corrugator supercilii muscle produces horizontal wrinkles.
- The auditory tube connects the tympanic cavity with the nasopharynx.
- The incus, sacculus, and stapes are elements of the internal ear.
