What is the Facial Artery?
Supplying the hard palate as well as lingual gingiva
What is Greater Palatine?
What vein begins near the side of the nose, passes downward and crosses over thebody of the mandible with the facial artery? It drains facial structures, beginning neat the eye and defends towards the mandible.
Facial Vein
Collects venous blood from the forehead, parietal and temporal regions of the head, external ear, and parotid glad.
Superficial Temporal Vein
ASA Supplies sensory nerve to these
The maxillary central and laterals
How many central nerves are there?
12 Cranial Nerves
Supplies blood to the temporal, masseter, and pterygoid muscles
What is the Ptarygoid Artery?
Supplies the face
What is the Infraorbital Artery?
What vein courses from the pterygoid plexus of veins of the infratemporal fossa tothe facial vein and is a communicating vein between the facial vein and the Pterygoid plexus?
Drains into the Pterygoid plexus
Deep Facial Vein
Drains venous blood from the jaw, parotid gland, lateral portions of the skull, and masseter muscle. Drains the maxillary artery and the superficial temporal arteries.
Retromandibular Vein
MSA supplies nerve sensory to these
Cranial nerves are categorized in their function by either being sensory or motor, what tdo sensory and motor nerves do?
Sensory - involved with senses such as smell, touch, taste, and hearing
Motor - Control the movement and function of muscles or glands
Branches from the external carotid artery; supplies the soft palate, tonsils, and floor of mouth
What is the Lingual Artery?
Has three branches and enters the mandibular canal
What is the Inferior Alveolar Artery?
what is a network of merging veins in the head that surround the maxillary artery and is located in the infra temporal fossa? Drains the nasal cavity, eye, paranasal sinuses.
muscles of mastication, and palate
Pterygoid Plexus of Veins
Is the posterior branch joins the posterior articular vein and then becomes the external jugular vein
Posterior Division of the Retromandibular Vein
PSA supplies nerve sensory to which teeth?
Maxillary first molar (distobuccal root), second molar, and medial 3rd molar.
The oculomotor is a motor nerve, what is its function?
Movement of the eye muscles
Supplies cuspid teeth and maxillary sinuses
What are the Anterior Superior Alveolar (ASA), Middle Superior Alveolar (MSA), and Posterior Superior Alveolar (PSA)?
Three branches of the Inferior Alveolar Artery
What are the Mylohiod Artery, Incisive Artery, and the Mental Artery?
What short trunk travels to the back of the head behind the neck of the mandible and is accompanied by the maxillary artery that runs alongside the vein? Helps drain the area
supplied by the maxillary artery.
Maxillary Vein
Located outside the sternocleidomastoid and are often visible to the naked eye. Smaller in diameter and found more superficial to the internal jugular vein.
External Jugular Vein
The maxillary division leaves the skull through whicih foramen?
Foreman rotundum
What is the function of the vagus nerve?
Moves muscles of the soft palate, pharynx, and larynx and functions general sensation on skin around the ear and sense of taste
Arises behind mandible angle supplying blood to the deep structures of the face
What is the Maxillary?
The terminal branch and includes the nasopalentine artery
What is the Pterygopalatine Artery?
Begins on the dorsum, sides, and undersurfaces of the tongue. It passes backward following the course of the lingual artery and its branches. Drains the floor of the mouth and
tongue and empties into the internal jugular vein.
Lingual Vein
Collects blood from the brain and the superficial part of the face and neck. Each of the internal jugular veins runs on either side of the neck under the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Which sensory nerve passes through the foramen rotundum?
Maxillary Nerve V2
Ophthalmic (sensory)
Maxillary (sensory)
Mandibular (sensory and motor)
