    Study Notes

    Cranial Nerves

    • The Seventh Cranial Nerve is the chief motor nerve of the face, controlling facial expressions and movements.

    Skeletal System

    • The skeletal system forms the physical foundation of the body, comprising bones and moveable and immovable joints.

    Nervous System

    • The Smaller Occipital Nerve affects the scalp and muscles behind the ear, playing a role in sensory and motor functions.

    Cranial Bones

    • The Sphenoid Bone acts as a connector, linking all the bones of the cranium together.

    Central Nervous System

    • The Spinal Cord is a part of the central nervous system, originating in the brain and extending downward through the spinal column.

    Muscles

    • The Sternocleidomastoideus muscle is located in the neck, responsible for depressing and rotating the head.

    Blood Supply

    • The Submental Artery supplies blood to the chin and lower lip, providing oxygen and nutrients.
    • The Superficial Temporal Artery supplies blood to the muscles of the front, sides, and top of the head, supporting their functions.

    Skeletal System

    • Provides the physical foundation of the body
    • Composed of bones and movable and immovable joints

    Nervous System

    • Spinal cord is a portion of the central nervous system
    • Originates in the brain
    • Runs downward through the spinal column

    Blood Circulation

    • Superficial temporal artery supplies blood to the muscles of the head
    • Specifically supplies blood to the front, sides, and top of the head
