Vascular System
The 3 components of the vascular system
what are the arteries, veins, and capillary network
A lymph node involved in neoplasm or infection undergoes this
what is lymphadenopathy
Enlarged thryoid gland due to a disease process
what is the Goiter
Facial bone that articulates with the temporal bone at the head of the mandibular condyle
what is the mandible
plexus is
what is a large network of blood vessel
foreign material or thrombus traveling in the blood that can block the vessel
what is embolus
what are the submental, submandibular, and superior deep cervical
Passageway to carry the secretion from the exocrine gland to the location where it will be used
what is a duct
Posterior to the articular fossa is a sharper ridge
what is the postglenoid process
the important reasons hygienists need to know the vascular system
what is can spread disease, can spread cancerous cells faster than lymphatics, and local anesthesia
the 5 major branches of the facial artery
what are ascending palantine artery, submental, inferior labial artery, superior labial artery, angular artery
how we palpate occipital lymph nodes
what is patient lean the head forward allowing effective bilateral palpation at base of head
the only named gland in minor glands
what is von ebner's gland
this wraps around the margin of the articular eminence and articular fossa superiorly
what is the capsul
the branches of the lingual artery that supply the tongue
what are the dorsal and deep lingual
the facial vein provides communication with this sinus
what is cavernous venous sinus
The deep lymph nodes of head
what are deep parotid and retropharyngeal
the percentage of the salivary volume that the submandibular gland makes up
what is 60-65
this ligament runs from the styloid process of the temporal bone to the angle of the mandible
what is the stylomandibular
the parotids blood supply
external carotid branch, the transverse facial
The posterior division of the retromandibular becomes this
what is external jugular vein
the positions lymph nodes of the head are located in
what are either superficial or deep
large paired glands with associated named ducts
what is major glands
this landmark is positioned anterior to the articular fossa and consists of a smooth rounded ridge
what is articular eminence
the left pathway according to the lymphatic ducts
left jugular trunk to thoracic duct then joins the venous system at the left subclavian and internal jugular vein
