Head and neck

The skull

Page 3: Head and-neck

The Neurocraniumbones

• Frontal bone• Parietal bones ( paired)• Temporal bones ( paired)• Occipital bone• Sphenoid bone• Ethmoid bone> Largely flat, curved and united by

fibrous interlocking sutures.

Page 4: Head and-neck

Facial skeleton( viscerocranium or splanchnocranium)

• Lacrimal bones ( 2 )• Nasal bones ( 2 )• Maxillae ( 2 )• Zygomatic bones ( 2 )• Palatine bones ( 2 )• Inferior nasal conchae ( 2 )• Mandible ( 1 )• Vomer ( 1 )

Page 5: Head and-neck

Anterior Skull

• Glabella – the smooth slightly depressed area between the superciliary arches.

• Nasion – the intersection of the frontal and the nasal bone ( bridge 0f the nose)

• Supraorbital arch – the angular boundary between the squamous and orbital bones.

• Supraorbital notch or foramen – passage for vessels and nerves.

• Superciliary arch – a ridge superior and lateral to the glabella.

• Orbital fissures – superior and inferior• Optic canal – for passage of optic nerve

Page 6: Head and-neck

Anterior Skull

• Zygomatic bones ( zygoma, cheekbone, malar bone)• Zygomatico facial foramen• Piriform apertures – pear shaped anterior nasal apertures• Nasal septum – bony divide of the nasal cavity• Nasal conchae – curved bony plates on the lateral wall• Maxillae – the upper jaw (alveolar processes for the maxillary

teeth ). • Infraorbital foramen – passage for the infraorbial nerves• Mandible – U shaped bone with alveolar process for the

mandibular teeth• Mental foramina – for the mental nerve and vessels.• Mental protuberance – prominence of the chin.

Page 7: Head and-neck

Clinical applications

• Injury to Superciliary arches – laceration with profuse bleeding,

• Blackeye – bruising and bleeding of tissues around the orbit with hematoma formation.

• Malar flush – redness of the skin covering the zygomatic prominence.e.g. fever in PTB

• Le Fort Fracture - Fractures of the maxillae, alveolar process, bony nasal septum, lacrimal, pterygoid plates of the sphenoid, bridge of the nose.

• Resorption of alveolar bones – due to loss of teeth.• Mandibular prognathism – decrease in vertical facial

dimensions with overclosure due to total loss of teeth.

Page 8: Head and-neck

(counterblow)

Page 9: Head and-neck

Lateral aspect of the skull

Importance - It overlies the anterior branch of the middle meningeal artery.

• Temporal fossa – boundaries; superior/posterior by temporal lines, inferiorly by the zygomatic arch.

• Zygomatic arch – formed by the union of the temporal process of zygomatic and zygomatic process of temporal bone

• External acoustic meatus – • Mastoid process – • Infratemporal fossa – space inferior and deep to the

zygo arch, mandible and posterior maxilla.

Page 10: Head and-neck

Posterior aspect of the skull• Occiput – from occipital,parietal,mastoid part of

temporal

• Inion - Occipital protuberance • Foramen magnum – large opening at

the base• Superior nuchal line• Lambda – the junction of the sagittal

and lambdoid sutures

Page 14: Head and-neck

Muscles of facial expression• Buccinator - this is the muscle of the cheek. It is used in

whistling and sucking and is also involved in mastication. • Zygomaticus minor - it elevates the upper lip in order to show

contempt and deepens the nasolabial sulcus to express sadness. • Levator anguli oris - this raises the corner of the mouth. • Depressor labii inferioris - it depresses the lip and is used in the

expression of impatience. • Levator labii superioris - this elevates and everts the upper lip

and aids the zygomaticus minor muscle in the expression of sadness.

• Risorius - this is involved in grinning. • Procerus - this small muscle runs from the bridge of the nose to

the forehead and is useful in frowning and in reducing the glare of bright lights.

• Platysma - this is a sheet-like muscle which covers the neck and lower face. It has an embryological role related to the facial nerve.

Page 15: Head and-neck

Facial muscles Facial expression

1. Orbicularis oris Oral sphincter, pucker, whistle

2. Dilator muscles Open mouth wide

3. Levator labii superioris alaque nasi

4. Mentalis Expression of doubt

5. Buccinator Aids in mastication, blowing

6. Depressor anguli oris7. Procerus

Frowning,depress angle mouthDraws eyebrow inferior, frown

8. Levator anguli oris

Elevates corner of mouth

Page 16: Head and-neck

Muscles of the Nose

• Procerus small slip from frontalis, draws eyebrow inferiorly as in frowning or from glare.

• Depressor septi, from maxilla into mobile part of nasal septum. Helps in deep inspiration

• Nasalis – main muscle, composed of the a. compressor naris – transverse, compress the piriform aperture ( nostril)

b. dilator naris – alar (wing) part, from maxilla to alar cartilage

* All innervated by buccal branch of facial nerve

Page 17: Head and-neck

Branches of Facial nerve

• Temporal - cross the parotid, to auriclaris,

occipito frontalis & orbicularis oculi. • Zygomatic – inferior orbicularis occuli, inferior of

eye.

• Buccal – buccinators, orbicularis oris, lev. labii sup.

• Mandibular – risorius & muscles of lower lip/chin.

• Cervical – platysma and superficial neck muscles.

Page 18: Head and-neck

Facial nerve injury

Injury results to paralysis of the affected muscles. 1. Inflammation at the stylomastoid foramen produces

edema and swelling and compression of the nerve.2. Loss of tonus of orbicularis oculi > eversion of lower

lid3. Cornea cannot be lubricated, becomes dry,

ulcerations or keratitis4. Patient cannot blow, whistle or chew effectively.

Weakens the buccinator, orbicularis oris, cheek and lip muscle. Results to displacement and drooping of mouth corners due to contraction of unopposed contralateral facial muscles cause saliva and food dribbling at the sides of the mouth.

Page 19: Head and-neck

branches; posterior superior alveolar, infraorbital, descending palatine, artery of pterygoid canal, pharyngeal, sphenopalatine.

* Features: there are 5 branches from each part, first 5 reach destination by entering foramina, middle 5 supply soft tissue & use no foramina, last 5 use foramina. The infraorbital the 6 th branch is really the termination of the maxillary artery.

Page 25: Head and-neck

Other clinical facts of the facial vasculatures

• Compression of facial artery on one side cannot stop any bleeding due to anastomoses of its branches and other facial vessels. Facial wounds bleed freely and heal quickly.

• Pulses of the Facial arteries;a. temporal pulse, just anterior to auricleb. facial pulse, at inferior border of mandible

• Transverse facial artery from the superfacial temporal artery supply the parotid gland and duct, masseter and skin of face anastomose with facial artery.

• Branches of the Post. Sup. Alveolar supply the gum, molar, premolars and maxillary sinus.

Page 26: Head and-neck

Other clinical features…

• Branches of the infraorbital artery supply the orbital structures, maxillary sinus, via the anterior superior alveolar branch of canine and incisor teeth.

• Descending palatine artery divides into greater and lesser palatine arteries.

• The pharyngeal branch via the pharyngeal canal supplies the pharynx posterior to the auditory tube.

• The sphenopalatine artery passes thru the sphenopalatine foramen and supplies the lateral wall and septum of nasal cavity.
