    Study Notes

    • The superficial musculoaponeurotic system of the scalp consists of the occipitofrontalis muscle and its investing fascia, which forms a tendinous epicranial aponeurosis (galea aponeurotica).
    • The occipitofrontalis muscle, part of the aponeurotic layer, moves the scalp, wrinkles the forehead, and raises the eyebrows. It is innervated by temporal branches of the facial nerve and the posterior auricular branch.
    • The sensory innervation of the scalp is from cranial nerves (V) or cervical nerves (C2, C3) depending on the location. Branches of the trigeminal nerve supply the scalp anterior to the ears and the vertex of the head.
    • The parotid region is the largest of the three paired salivary glands and is located superficial to the masseter muscles. The parotid duct passes from the anterior edge of the gland and opens into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the 2nd upper maxillary molar.
    • The parotid gland receives nerve supply from the facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, and the branches of the external carotid artery.
    • Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers originate from the inferior salivatory nucleus and leave the brain in the glossopharyngeal nerve, they terminate in the otic ganglion, and the postganglionic parasympathetic fibers join the auriculotemporal nerve to reach the parotid gland.
    • Cutaneous innervation to the face is supplied by all three divisions of the trigeminal nerve: the ophthalmic division (V1), maxillary division (V2), and mandibular division (V3).
    • The occipitofrontalis muscle is part of the first three layers of the scalp, the aponeurotic layer, and is firmly attached to the skin by the dense connective tissue of the second layer.
    • The pericranium is the periosteum over the external surface of the skull where the fibrous tissue knits into the sutures.
    • The loose connective tissue under the galea aponeurotica forms a subaponeurotic compartment and contains the emissary veins. Infections tend to localize and spread through the loose connective tissue.
    • The parotid gland lies in the parotid region, superficial to the masseter muscles, and is the largest of the three paired salivary glands. It is innervated by the facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, and the branches of the external carotid artery.
    • The parotid duct passes from the anterior edge of the gland and opens into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the 2nd upper maxillary molar.
    • The parotid gland receives nerve supply from the facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, and the branches of the external carotid artery.
    • The facial nerve and its branches and the retromandibular vein and its tributaries pass through the parotid gland.
    • Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers originate from the inferior salivatory nucleus and leave the brain in the glossopharyngeal nerve, they terminate in the otic ganglion, and the postganglionic parasympathetic fibers join the auriculotemporal nerve to reach the parotid gland.
    • Cutaneous innervation to the face is supplied by all three divisions of the trigeminal nerve: the ophthalmic division (V1), maxillary division (V2), and mandibular division (V3).
    • The parotid gland is a major salivary gland that produces serous saliva, which helps in the digestion and lubrication of food in the mouth. It is located in the parotid region, which is bound by the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid posteriorly, the masseter muscle and the mandibular ramus anteriorly, and the zygomatic arch superiorly.
    • The parotid duct passes from the anterior edge of the gland and opens into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the 2nd upper maxillary molar.
    • The facial nerve and its branches, the retromandibular vein and its tributaries, the external carotid artery and its branches, and the preganglionic parasympathetic fibers destined for the parotid gland pass through the parotid gland.
    • Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers originate from the inferior salivatory nucleus and leave the brain in the glossopharyngeal nerve, they terminate in the otic ganglion, and the postganglionic parasympathetic fibers join the auriculotemporal nerve to reach the parotid gland.
    • The parotid gland is innervated by the facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, and the branches of the external carotid artery.
    • The parotid gland receives sensory innervation from branches of the trigeminal nerve and cervical nerves, depending on the location.
    • The parotid gland is surrounded by the connective tissue called the parotid capsule, which is a thick fibrous sheath that covers the gland.
    • The parotid gland is surrounded by fat, which acts as a cushion and protects the gland from external trauma.
    • The parotid gland contains lobules, which are the functional units of the gland. Each lobule contains acini, which produce saliva, and ducts that transport the saliva to the parotid duct.
    • The parotid gland is surrounded by lymphatic vessels, which help in the drainage of lymph from the gland and the head and neck region.
    • The parotid gland is a bilobed gland, with the larger lobule located anteriorly and the smaller lobule located posteriorly.
    • The parotid gland is an endocrine gland, which produces and secretes hormones, in addition to saliva. These hormones include parotid hormone and prostaglandins.
    • The parotid gland is a major salivary gland that plays a crucial role in the digestion and lubrication of food in the mouth. It is located in the parotid region, which is a complex structure that contains various nerves, arteries, and veins. The parotid gland is surrounded by the connective tissue called the parotid capsule, which helps protect the gland from external trauma, and is surrounded by fat. The gland is innervated by the facial nerve, glossopharyngeal nerve, and the branches of the external carotid artery, and receives sensory innervation from branches of the trigeminal nerve and cervical nerves, depending on the location. The parotid gland contains lobules, which are the functional units of the gland, and is surrounded by lymphatic vessels, which help in the drainage of lymph from the gland and the head and neck region. The parotid gland is a bilobed gland, with the larger lobule located anteriorly and the smaller lobule located posteriorly. The parotid gland is an endocrine gland, which produces and secretes hormones, in addition to saliva. These hormones include parotid hormone and prostaglandins. The parotid gland is the largest of the three paired salivary glands and is essential for the normal functioning of the oral cavity.
