Study Notes

Skull and Face

  • Eyebrows are raised arches of skin with short, thick hairs above the supraorbital margins.
  • The soft tissue covering frontal, parietal, and occipital regions forms the scalp.
  • Just deep to the eyebrow is the curved bony ridge or superciliary arch.

Scalp

  • The scalp is thickly covered by terminal hair, making it essential for clinicians to carefully examine this area for lesions.

Regions of the Skull

  • The parietal region is located near the hairline.
  • The frontal region is located above the eyebrows.
  • The orbital region is located around the eyes.
  • The temporal region is the area on the side of the skull between the temporal line and zygomatic arch.
  • The nasal region is located around the nose.
  • The auricular region is located around the ears.
  • The mental region is located around the chin.
  • The occipital region is located at the back of the skull.

Temporal Region

  • The temporal region is bounded by the temporal line and zygomatic arch.
  • The superficial temporal artery can be felt by placing a fingertip just in front and above the tragus on the root of zygoma.

Auricle (Ear)

  • The auricle has a superior and posterior free margin called the helix, which ends inferiorly at the fleshy protuberance called the ear lobule.
  • The upper end of the helix is typically at the level of the eyebrows and glabella.

Parotid Region

  • The parotid region is limited in front by the anterior border of masseter, behind by the mastoid process, and below by a line extending from the angle of the mandible to the tip of the mastoid process.
  • The mastoid process can be easily felt behind the lower part of the ear.

Neck

  • The neck is a complex region of the body containing the spinal cord, digestive and respiratory tracts, and major blood vessels.
  • The neural structures present in the region include the last four cranial nerves and cervical and brachial plexuses.
  • The musculature of the neck produces an array of movements in this area.
