• Buccinator's job is to
o Compress the cheek against the molar, keeps food on the occlusal surfaces during chewing
o Anterior to the buccinator is the buccal fat pad which
 Gives cheeks their characteristics
 Pierced by buccal branch of the facial nerve, buccal nerve (V3), parotid duct
o Helps blow out air when cheeks are puffed out
• Masseter is the muscle of
o Muscle of mastication
• Temporalis is a muscle of
mastication
• Fascial Nerve job
o Motor innervation for the face
Fascial nerve exits through
stylomastoid foramen
o Branches of the facial under the parotid gland form
the parotid plexus
Acronynm for facial nerve
Pete The Zebra Bit My Cheek
 Posterior auricular nerve
 Temporal branches
 Zygomatic branches
 Buccal branches
 Mandibular branches
 Cervical branches
 Temporal branches innervate
muscles of the temple, forehead, and supra-orbital area
 Zygomatic branches innervate
the muscles of the infra-orbital, lateral nasal, and upper lip area
 Buccal branches pierces and innervates
the buccinator
• Supplies the muscles of the cheek, upper lip, and the corner of the mouth area
 Mandibular branches innervate
muscles of the lower lip and chin area
 Cervical branches innervate
the platysma
• Trigeminal nerve main job
sensory innervation of the face
Major branches of the trigeminal nerve
 Supraorbital nerve (V1)
 Infraorbital nerve (v2)
 Mental nerve(V3)
 Auriculotemporal nerve(v3)
Most of the skin covering the face is innervated by
branches of the trigeminal nerve, the exception is a small area covering the the angle and lower border of the ramus of the mandible and parts of the ear which are innervated by the cervical nerves
o Bell’s palsy
sudden loss of control of the muscles of facial expression on one side of the face. Presents with drooping of the mouth and inability to close the eyelid on affected side
o Dental Anesthesia
the infraorbital nerve may be infiltrated where it emerges from the infraorbital foramen. Need is inserted through the oral mucosa deep to the upper lip and directed superiorly.
• Borders of the parotid bed
o Posterior: mastoid process and posterior belly of the digastric muscle
o Anterior: medial pterygoid muscle, ramus of the mandible, and masseter muscle
o Medial: styloid process and associated muscles (stylopharyngeus, styloglossus, stylohoid)
o Posterosuperior: floor of the external acoustic meatus
The parotid duct pierces
the buccinator muscle of the cheek, drains near the second upper molat tooth
o Swelling of the parotid gland (as in mumps) pushes
the ear love superiorly and laterally. During parotidectomy, the facial nerve is in danger of being injured. Paralysis can result.
Facial artery runs deep to
submandibular gland, below inferior mandible border
o Facial artery becomes the angular artery when it reaches
the lateral side of the nose
• Retromandibular vein runs under
the parotid gland
 Layers of the scalp
o Skin
o Connective tissue: dense subcutaneous tissue containing the vessels and nerves of the scalp
o Aponeurosis (epicranial aponeurosis): connecting the frontalis muscle to the occipitalis muscle
o Loose connective tissue: permits the scalp to move over the calvaria
o Pericranium: the periosteum of the cranial bones
