Study Notes
Facial Anatomy
- Wrinkle lines on the face form due to repeated skin folding perpendicular to the long axis of contracting muscles, combined with the loss of youthful skin elasticity.
Orifices of the Face
- The face has three orifices: the orbit (eye), nose, and mouth.
- Each orifice is guarded by a specific structure: eyelids (orbit), nostrils (nose), and lips (mouth).
Blood Vessels of the Face
- The inferior labial artery originates near the angle of the mouth.
- It runs medially in the lower lip and anastomoses with its counterpart on the opposite side.
- The deep facial vein connects the inferior labial artery to the pterygoid venous plexus.
- The superior ophthalmic vein links the inferior labial artery to the cavernous sinus.
Cervical Branch
- The cervical branch emerges from the lower border of the gland.
- It passes forward in the neck, below the mandible, to supply the platysma muscle.
- The cervical branch may cross the lower margin of the mandible to supply the depressor anguli oris muscle.
