Nerve supply of the face o Buccal branches: n supply the buccinator and the muscle fibres of the upper lip, orbicularis oris and lower part of elevators n Paralysis emptying of the cheek pouch 09/10/42 The facial nerve:

Nerve supply of the face o Marginal mandibular branch: n emerges from the lower border of the gland pass into the neck below the angle of mandible crosses the inferior border at the anterior border of the masseter over the facial artery. n Supply the muscles of the lower lip o permanent paralysis of the lower lip 09/10/42 The facial nerve:

Nerve supply of the face o Cervical branch: n 09/10/42 pass vertically down from the lower border of the parotid, behind the mandible to supply the platysma muscle. The facial nerve:

Nerve supply of the face o Sensory supply of the face: n 09/10/42 The skin of the face (except the angle of the mandible) is supplied by the three branches of the trigeminal nerve

Nerve supply of the face n It is divided into three zones by a line above the margin of the eyelid another at the angle of the mouth. The lines curve upwards and back n The muscles are supplied with proprioceptive fibres from the same cutaneous nerves. 09/10/42

Nerve supply of the face o The trigeminal nerve: n Ophthalmic: o n Maxillary: o n 3 cutaneous branches Mandibular: o 09/10/42 5 cutaneous branches 3 cutaneous branches.

Nerve supply of the face Ophthalmic division: o Lacrimal nerve: n 09/10/42 supply a small area of the skin over the lateral part of the upper eyelid

Nerve supply of the face Ophthalmic division: o Supraorbital nerve: n Emerge through a foramen toward the medial end of the upper orbital margin n Passes upward and divide into many branches and supply the forehead and scalp up to the vertex. 09/10/42

Nerve supply of the face Ophthalmic division: o Supratrochlear nerve: n Medial to supraorbital emerges from the frontal foramen n Supply the middle of forehead up to hairline 09/10/42

Nerve supply of the face The Maxillary nerve n o Infratrochlear nerve: o Supply the skin on the medial part of the upper eyelid and over the bridge of the nose. All the above four branches supply the upper lid conjunctiva 09/10/42

Nerve supply of the face The Maxillary nerve o External nasal nerve: n Emerges between the nasal bone and upper nasal cartilage n Supply the middle of external nose down to the tip 09/10/42

Nerve supply of the face The Maxillary nerve o Infraorbital nerve: n emerges through the foramen, lie between levator labii superiors and levator anguli oris o Palpebral branches: n o Nasal branches: n o sides and ala of the nose. Labial branches: n 09/10/42 lower eyelid and cheek. upper lip & labial gum

Nerve supply of the face The Maxillary nerve o Zygomaticofacial nerve: n Foramen on the outer surface of zygomatic bone o o supply overlying skin Zygomaticotemporal nerve: n emerges in the temporal fossa from a foramen in the temporal surface of the zygomatic bone n supply the skin over the front of the temple on a level with the upper eyelid, the hairless part of the temple 09/10/42

Nerve supply of the face Mandibular nerve: o Auriculotemporal branch: n 09/10/42 pass behind the neck of the condyle and ascend over the root of the zygoma behind the superficial temporal vessels

Nerve supply of the face Mandibular nerve: o The auricular part: n o The temporal part: n 09/10/42 supply the external auditory meatus, skin of auricle and tympanic membrane hairy skin over the temple

Nerve supply of the face Mandibular nerve: o Long buccal nerve: n o supply the skin of the cheek under the zygomatic bone Mental nerve: n n 09/10/42 break into tufts of small branches supply the skin and mucous membrane of the lower lip and the labial gum to the lower premolar teeth

Nerve supply of the face Mandibular nerve: o Greater Auricular nerve: n n 09/10/42 C 2 and 3, pass vertically over the sternocleidomastoid Supply the skin on the face over the angle of the mandible, the parotid and its fascia and the auricle, its cranial surface and the lower part of the lateral surface.
