    Study Notes

    Head and Facial Muscles

    • Rhytids are permanent wrinkles usually seen in older individuals while dynamic wrinkles are temporary wrinkles usually seen in younger individuals.
    • Botox is a synthetic toxin derived from Clostridium botulinum. It prevents the release of acetylcholine, causing muscle paralysis at the neuromuscular junction.
    • Facial Nerve (cranial nerve 7) is responsible for the movement of facial muscles.

    Facial Muscles

    • Frontalis muscle raises the eyebrows.
    • Orbicularis oculi muscle closes the eyes and can contribute to eyebrow movement.
    • The modiolus is a fleshy point on the face where several facial muscles converge.
    • Bunny lines are wrinkles located between the eyebrows, caused by the levator labii superioris alequae nasi and nasalis muscles.
    • Gummy smile is characterized by the excessive display of gums when smiling, caused by hyperactive levator labii superioris alequae nasi (LLSAN) muscle. Botox injections can be used to paralyze the LLSAN muscle, making the lip droop down and hide the gums during smiling.
    • Smoker's lines are wrinkles around the mouth, caused by the hyperactive orbucularis oris muscle, especially in older individuals.

    Anterior Neck Muscles

    • Strap Muscles are a group of four muscles in the anterior neck: sternothyroid, omohyoid, sternohyoid, and thyrohyoid.
    • Suprahyoid Muscles are a group of four muscles situated above the hyoid bone. These muscles are involved in swallowing and speech.
    • Hyoid Bone is a U-shaped bone located in the anterior neck.
    • Thyroidectomy is the surgical removal of the thyroid gland.

    Thyroid Gland

    • The thyroid gland is a "butterfly-shaped" gland located in the anterior neck, composed of two lobes: the right and left thyroid lobes.
    • Each thyroid lobe is approximately 5 cm x 3 cm x 2 cm in dimension.
    • The isthmus bridges the two lobes and is approximately 1.3 cm in size.
    • The pyramidal lobe is usually located in the middle portion of the thyroid gland.
    • Goiter refers to an enlarged thyroid gland.
    • The thyroid gland hugs the trachea and cricoid cartilage, similar to a koala hugging a tree.

    Muscles of Mastication

    • The muscles involved in chewing include: masseter, temporalis, medial pterygoid, and lateral pterygoid.
    • Masseter, temporalis, and medial pterygoid muscles close the jaw.
    • Lateral pterygoid is the only muscle involved in opening the jaw.

    Posterior Neck Muscles

    • Sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle divides the neck into posterior and anterior regions.
    • The trapezius muscle plays a role in rotating the head to the opposite side, and is a large muscle connecting the mastoid bone, sternum, and clavicle.
    • Scalenes muscles (anterior, middle, and posterior) are located beneath the trapezius and sternocleidomastoid muscles.
    • The subclavian artery and brachial plexus pass through the space between the anterior and middle scalenes muscles, which connect the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae to the first rib.
    • The subclavian artery is a major blood vessel that supplies blood to the arm.
    • The brachial plexus is a network of nerves that supplies the arm.

    Important Considerations for Thyroidectomy

    • Surgeons must exercise caution and have a deep understanding of the anatomy of the structures surrounding the thyroid gland during a thyroidectomy.

    • Careful handling is vital during a thyroidectomy to avoid damaging:

      • Arteries and veins: e.g., superior thyroid vein, middle thyroid vein, and inferior thyroid vein
      • Nerves: particularly the recurrent laryngeal nerve.
      • Parathyroid glands.
      • Carotid sheath.
      • Muscles producing bunny lines (LLSAN and nasalis)
    • During thyroidectomy, swallowing is a technique used to assess patients with thyroid abnormalities such as tumors or masses, due to the larynx and thyroid gland elevating together during swallowing.

    Mumps

    • Mumps is caused by a viral infection that spreads through saliva and nasal secretions and primarily affects the parotid glands.
    • Management of mumps is primarily supportive and includes: hydration, oral hygiene, pain control, bed rest, and isolation.
    • A vaccine is available against mumps for babies at 12-15 months of age.

    Salivary Glands

    • Salivary glands are responsible for producing saliva.

    Torticollis

    • Torticollis refers to a condition where the head is tilted to one side due to a hypertrophic sternocleidomastoid muscle.
    • Congenital Torticollis is present at birth.
    • Acquired Torticollis develops due to issues such as cervical dystonia.

    Semi-spinalis Capitis and Splenius Capitis

    • These muscles are located at the back of the head.
    • "Capitis" indicates "head" in anatomical terminology.
