    Study Notes

    Face Development

    • Face development begins with the fronto-nasal process and pharyngeal arches
    • Arches 1-6 develop during weeks 4-5
    • These arches give rise to muscles and skeletal structures
    • The first arch develops into the mandible, maxilla, part of the temporal bone, incus and malleus
    • The second arch gives rise to stapes and the styloid process
    • The third arch contributes to the lesser horn and upper body of the hyoid bone
    • Further development is influenced by various processes and structures

    Face Anatomy

    • Skin: Contains sweat and sebaceous glands (acne and cysts are possible)

    • Thin skin is found on eyelids and around the eyes

    • Fascia:

      • Superficial fascia encases muscles of facial expression, blood vessels, and nerves
      • Deep fascia is only found around the parotid gland
    • Sensory Nerves:

      • Trigeminal nerve (CN V) branches (ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular) supply sensory innervation to face regions (frontonasal, maxillary, mandibular processes).
      • The great auricular nerve (C2, C3) supplies the angle of the mandible and parotid gland
    • Muscles of Facial Expression:

      • Embedded in superficial fascia
      • Originate from skull bones and insert into skin
      • Function to create facial expressions (sphincters and dilators for eye, nose, mouth)
    • Muscles of Mastication:

      • Origin: developed from the first pharyngeal arch
      • Muscles: Masseter, Temporalis, Lateral, Medial Pterygoid
      • Motor innervation: Mandibular nerve (CN V3)
    • Arterial Supply:

      • External carotid artery (ECA): supplies facial artery, transverse facial artery, maxillary artery
      • Internal carotid artery (ICA): supplies supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries
    • Venous Drainage:

      • Veins that accompany the arteries
      • Superficial temporal and maxillary veins drain into the retromandibular vein
      • Deeper facial veins join to form common facial veins that drain into the internal jugular vein.
    • Lymphatic Drainage:

      • No lymph nodes are present on the surface of the face
      • Lymph from the parotid and buccal regions drains to the submandibular, submental, and deep cervical lymph nodes
    • Lesions of Trigeminal Nerve:

      • Widespread anesthesia (numbness) on the anterior half of the scalp, face (without mandible angle) and mucous membranes of nose, mouth and tongue anterior part
      • Paralysis of muscles of mastication
    • Trigeminal Neuralgia

      • Sudden excruciating pain in the distribution of CN V2 and V3
      • Causes: vascular abnormalities, tumors, or demyelination (multiple sclerosis), injury or infection
