    Study Notes

    Scalp and Face

    • Cutaneous innervation of the scalp is supplied by the trigeminal nerve (CN V), except for the posterior scalp and areas posterior/inferior to the mandible.
    • Trigeminal nerve (CN V) has both sensory (GSA) and motor (GSE) fibers and originates from the pons.

    Facial Muscles

    • Facial muscles include muscles of facial expression (innervated by CN VII) and muscles of mastication (innervated by CN V3).
    • Muscles of mastication include:
      • Masseter m.
      • Temporalis m.
      • Medial and lateral pterygoid mm.
    • Tensor twins, innervated by CN V3, include:
      • Tensor veli palatini m. (opens and closes the Eustachian tube)
      • Tensor tympani m. (tenses the tympanic membrane to dampen sound)

    Facial Nerve

    • Motor innervation of the face is supplied by the facial nerve (CN VII) and trigeminal nerve (CN V3).
    • Facial nerve (CN VII) originates from the pons and has GSE fibers and parasympathetic (GVE) fibers.
    • CN VII forms the parotid plexus in the parotid gland and gives off 5 branches:
      • Temporal branch of CN VII
      • Zygomatic branch of CN VII
      • Buccal branch of CN VII
      • Marginal branch of CN VII
      • Cervical branch of CN VII

    Arteries of Face

    • Most arteries of the face branch off from the external carotid artery.

    Lymphatics of Face and Scalp

    • No specific details mentioned.

    Clinical Correlations

    • Bell's Palsy: paralysis of CN VII due to inflammation, often caused by herpes simplex, other viral causes, pregnancy, or idiopathic factors.
    • Trigeminal neuralgia: compression of CN V, often caused by aberrant artery, tumor, cyst, MS, or brain lesions, resulting in extreme pain triggered by chewing, brushing teeth, etc.

    Pulses of Face and Scalp

    • Superficial temporal artery is a palpable pulse.
    • Facial artery is also present, but can be hard to find.
