1. Arteries, veins and lymphatic drainage of the head and neck. The epithelial tissue. The development of blood vessels.
Posted in Head & Neck by Sahaja on December 1, 2008 1. Arteries, veins and lymphatic drainage of the head and neck. The epithelial tissue. The development of blood vessels. Anatomy: Arteries, veins and lymphatic drainage of the head and neck. Arteries of Head & eck For this topic, you will need to discuss the branches of common carotid a, subclavian a, the veins that follow them, and superficial and deep lymph nodes of the head and neck. In this topic, if you have time, you may want to review infratemporal fossa, carotid triangle, scalenotracheal fossa, scalenus hiatus & tent Common Carotid a: General Info: Emerges from brachiocephalic a on R side, and aortic arch on L side ascends in carotid sheath, w/ CN X, Int Jugular v and number of other structures (will discuss soon) divides into int/ext carotid at superior border of thyroic cartilage Has two receptors: Carotid Body located at the bifurcation of common carotid (Body = Bifurcation) chemoreceptor = sensory receptor to detect levels of O2 & CO2 Or, remember that since it is located lower to the sinus, and closer to the lungs than the sinus lungs = O2,CO2 Carotid Sinus located at the beginning of the int carotid a (Sinus = Internal carotid) baroreceptor = detects blood pressure Remember that it is the one closest to the head, so need to keep track of blood pressure in the head. Int carotid a: no branches in the neck, ascends in carotid sheath w/ CN X and IJV enters skull via carotid canal only major branch to head and neck region is ophthalmic a exits skull via optic canal Ext Carotid a emerges @ upper border of thyroid cartilage runs in carotid sheath, then to neck of mandible pierces the parotid glang, where it gives its 2 terminal branches = maxillary, and superficial temporal 8 main branches = Superior Thyroid, Lingual, Facial, Asc Pharyngeal, Greater Auricular, Occipital, Maxillary, Superficial Temporal.

NOTE: How to remember all the branches? St. Louis FATSIS Apt to GO to Max Stein - like fat people from St. Louis need to go to this famous weight loss instructor, Max Stein. Sounds stupid, but hang on - it works. Superior Thyroid a St. emerges at level of greater horn of hyoid bone also in carotid sheath branches = br. to infrahyoid m, br to SCM, sup laryngeal (which peirces the thyrohyoid membrane), br to cricthyroid m, glands Lingual a Louis emerges @ level of greater horn of hyoid bone passes deep to hyoglossus m. located w/in Pyrogovs Triangle Clinical note by pushing at the location of triangle, can stop bleeding from branches of lingual a Borders: ant = mylohyoid m post = post digastric m sup = hypoglossal n (CN XII) floor = hyoglossus m part of the Submandibular triangle (see salivary gland topic) branches = suprahyoid a, dorsal lingual a, sublingual a, deep lingual a supplies most of blood supply of tongue Facial a Fatsis emerges just above lingual a, goes forward, deep to post digastric m & stylohyoid m hooks around lower border of angle of mandible @ ant border of masseter (jsut deep to platysma) run diagonally to the medial corner of the eye, running deep to zygomatic major & levator labii superiorus major blood supply to face, terminates with angular a. branches = FATSIS - is an abbreviation for facial and all its branches F = facial A = asc palatine T = tonsillar SI = Sup/Inf labial S = submental Asc Pharyngeal a - Apt in carotid triangle asc b/w int carotid & wall of pharynx branches = pharyngeal, palatine, inf tympanic, meningeal branches Greater (Posterior) Auricular a G arises just above post digastric > deep to parotid > runs superficial to styloid process branches = stylomastoid, auricular, and occipital branches Occipital a O emerges just above the hyoid bone > passes deep to post digastric > occipital groove > on mastoid process branches = a to SCM over CN XII, anatomosis w. SCM branch of sup thyroid a decending br has 2 branches superficial anatomosis w/ superficial br of transverse cervical a deep anatomosis w/ deep br of deep cervical a (from costocervical trunk of subclavian a Maxillary a Max lies in infratemporal fossa many many branches = How to remember them? DAAM I Bite SPAIDS. divided into 3 parts by lat pterygoid m Part 1 = Mandibular = DAAM I - 5 branches Deep auricular a Ant tympanic a Acc meningeal a Middle meningeal a can be shown in practical exam Inf alveolar a can be shown in practical exam

Part 2 Pterygoid = Bite (Bite = muscle of mastication) 5 branches lat & med pterygoid a massteric a buccal a deep temporal Part 3 Pterygopalatine = SPAIDS 7 branches Sup (post/mid) alveolar a Pharyngeal a A. of pterygoid canal Infraorbital a Desc Palatine a Sphenopalatine a Superficial Temporal a terminal branch emerges on face b/w TMJ and ear runs w/ auriculotemporal n, sup temporal v branches = transverse facial a (b/w zyg arch & parotid duct), frontal/parietal br transv. facial a gives blood supply to parotid gland, duct, masseter and skin of face Subclavian a br of Brachiocephalic trunk on R, arises from arch of aorta on L Pathway: enters neck behind the sternoclavicular joint > runs towards the apex of pleura along the mediastinal surface > over the apex > turns forward and down along sternocostal surface of apex > exits neck to enter thorax @ scalenus hiatus w/ brachial plexus has 3 divisions, separated by ant scalene m. OTE = to remember the # of branches its opposite of part # i.e. Part 1 has 3 branches, Part 2 has 2 branches, and Part 3 has 1 branch (sometimes) 123=321 Thoracic part = medial to ant scalene m - 3 branches, b/w trachea and ant scalene m Vertebral a has a med/sup path > goes thru transverse foramen of C6-C1 > thru post occipital membrane > foramen magnum Int Thoracic a - runs along the inside of thoracic wall 1st 6 ant intercostal a sup epigastric medistinal, thymic, sternal br musculophrenic gives the ant intercostal arteries 7-10 Thyrocervical trunk 3 branches again Transverse cervical a under SCM > occipital triangle > runs below trapezius m Suprascapular a - runs parallel to clavicle w/ a/v/n anatomosis w/ circumflex scapular a Inf thyroid a asc along thyroid gland and anatomosis w/ asc cervical a Muscular part = behind ant scalene m. 2 branches, = Costocervical trunk Supreme IC a gives 1st 2 post IC a Deep cervical a blood supply to deep m of back, asc along levator scapulae m. Cervial part = lat to ant scalene m 1 branch, sometimes dorsal scapular a - only present if suprascapular a is missing usually no branches here Veins of Head & eck Veins mostly follow the arteries, so there is no need to go into each branch. Also, veins have an extremely variable branching pattern, so your body may be different from what is laid out here. Weve seen a body with 2 Ext Jugular v! To learn veins of any area just draw the picture a bunch of times. Hell, draw it on the exam.

Heres an in general flow pattern of the veins: Supraorbital v + Supratrochlear v = angular v at the corner of the eye angular v + deep facial v = facial v Maxillary v + Superficial temporal v = Retromandibular v ant branches of Retromandibular v + Facial v > flows into IJV, w/ a bunch of other v post branches of Retromandibular v + Post Auricular v = EJV Ant Jugular > flows into EJV Subclavian v collect veins that follow the arteries that branch off subclavian a Subclavian v + IJV = Brachiocephalic v - called angulus venosus, also where major lymph ducts of the the body drain into EJV can flow into Subclavian v OR IJV OR angulus venosus itself (the intersection of the 2 veins) Other vein info, specifics: Doubt you have to know this, but rather give u extra info, than not at all. Supratrochlear v = begins as a collection of veins connected to the frontal branches of superficial temporal v Supraorbital v = begins also in the forehead, where it connects w/ branches from supratrochlear, superfical temporal v, and middle temporal v, a branch of it passes through supraorbital notch to anatomose w/ superior ophthalmic v Together, these 2 v. drain ant part of scalp and forehead Facial v = runs from medial angle of eye and inf border of orbit, starting from angular v, is much straighter than than facial a receives pterygoid venous plexus (via deep facial v), sup/inf labial v branch of it anatomose w/ superior ophthalmic v drains ant scalp, forehead, eyelids, ext nose, ant cheek, lips, chin, submandibular gland Superficial temporal v = receives a number of v of scalp/zygomatic arch, runs thru parotid gland drains side of scalp, superficial aspect of temporalis m, ext ear Retromandibular v = formed by union of superficial temporal & maxillary v is post to ramus of mandible, goes thru parotid gland, has ext carotid a behind and facial n in front of it drains masseter m, and parotid gland Lymph Drainage of Head & eck The head and the neck, each have a set of superficial & deep lymph nodes and vessels. The superficial lymph nodes and vessels run with veins, deep lymph nodes and vessels run with arteries. All lymph from head and neck drains into deep cervical lymph nodes, that run w/ IJV. Superficial lymph nodes of Head: In general, the face, scalp, and ear > drains into occipital, retroauricular, parotid, buccal, submandibular, submental, superficial cervical l.n. lat face, including eyelids > parotid l.n. > deep cervical l.n upper lip, lat lower lip > submandibular l.n. chin, central lower lip > submental l.n. Deep lymph nodes of Head: middle ear > retropharyngeal & upper deep cervical l.n. nasal cavity/ pasanasal sinuses > submandibular, retropharyngeal, upper deep cervical l.n. tongue > submental, submandibular, upper/lower deep cervical l.n. larynx > upper/lower deep cervical l.n. pharynx > retropharyngeal, upper/lower deep cervical l.n. thyroid > lower deep cervical, prelaryngeal l.n., pretracheal l.n., paratracheal l.n. Superficial cervical lymph nodes: lie along the ext jugular v in posterior triangle & along ant jugular v in anterior triangle drain into deep cervical nodes Deep cervical lymph nodes:

Superior lie along int jugular v, in carotid triangle of neck receive: lymph from back of head and neck, tongue, palate, nasal cavity, larynx, pharynx, trachea, thryroid gland, & esophagus efferent vessels that join those of the inf deep cervical nodes to from jugular trunk > thoracic duct on L, and angulus venosus on R Inferior lie on the IJV, near subclavian v receive lymph from ant jugular, transverse cervical, axillary nodes Histology: The epithelial tissue. Epithelium = sheets of cells that cover external surfaces of the body, line internal cavities, form various organs,glands and ducts. Remember that it is avascular - no blood vessels! Epithelium can be classified in 3 ways: functionally, # of cell layers, & structure of surface cells Functional groups: Lining epith formation of barrier on surface of body, ex/ skin, inner stomach Glandular epith production/secretion of substances to extra cellular territory in high amt Sensory epith for special sensations, ex/ taste buds, olfactory Epithelium has what is called functional polarity = basically, this means that different sides of the cells have different functions. Basal side: attached to basement membrane = basement lamina + reticular fibers has hemidesmosomes protein, polysaccharides rich layer Lateral side: intracellular junctions = tight, adherent, desmosomes Apical side: microvilli inc surface absorption kinocilia move substances across apical surface stereocilia sensory function, absorption Cell-Cell Junctions Occluding/Tight Jxns: impermeable and allow epithelia cells to functions as a barrier form primary intercellular diffusion barriers b/w adjacent cells located @ most apical part Proteins: occludins - maintain barrier b/w cells, @ apical/lateral domains, not in all tight jxns claudins - form backbone of each strand, form extracellular H2O channels for ions and small molecules JAM (Junctional adhesions molecule) immunoglobulin, w/ claudins, interactions b/w endothelium & monocytes Anchoring Junctions: mechanical stability to epithelium, by linking cytoskeleton of 1 cell to adjacent cell. interact w/ both actin & intermediate filaments lateral cell surface, basal domain signal transductions capability, cell-cell recognition, cell differentiation, morphogenesis Zonula adherens interact w/ network of actin filaments inside cell, lateral adhesion Macula adherens (desmosomes) - interact w/ network of intermediate flaments Communication Junctions (Gap): direct communications b/w adjacent cells by diffusion of small molecules epithelia, smooth m, cardiac m, and nerves open communication quicker exchange of ions, regulatory molecules, small metabolites easier to coordinate activity Proteins = connexons, in 6 subunits of 2 = connexin

Apical Modifications: Microvilli small, non motile projections that cover all absorptive cells in SI and prox convoluted tubules in kidney proteins = villin, actin filaments, fimbrin, fascin, myosin I in core, and spectrin & myosin II in base sit on intermed filaments Kino cilia motile structures that are found in uterin tubes, uterus, repiratory system move substances across a surface dark line @ apical surface 2 microtubules in center, surrounded by 9 doublets of microtubles, w/ dynein, & nexin Sterocilia long, non motile branched microvilli of sorts that cover cells in epididymis & vas deferens absprption! Proteins: actin filaments, erzin, fimbrin in core, and alpha -actinin in base Classification by layers Simple one layer of cells only, attached directly to basement membrane Stratified multiple layers of cells Pseudostratified one layer of cells, all attached to basement membrane, but have varying heights, so appear stratified Classification by morphology squamous - flat cells Simple squamous called mesothelium on the outside surfaces of lungs, heart, digestive organ == i.e. where-ever there is pleura, pericardium, or peritoneum, there is mesothelium anatomically Histo wise, this is called a serosa covering. called endothelium on the internal surface of arteries, lymph vessels, and internal surface of heart Stratified squamous keratinized top cells are dead & have no nuclei, are instead filled w/ keratin protein located in external areas of body ex/ skin non-keratinized live surfaces, all cells of epithelium alive located in areas exposed to outside elements, but not on external areas of body ex/ oral mucosa, pharynx, vagina, anal canal, esophagus. Cuboidal height = width Simple cuboidal excretory ducts, like prox convoluted tubules of kidney, very common in glands Stratified cuboidal not as common, ducts of salivary glands and pancreas Columnar height > width Simple columnar characteristic of digestive organs, like in stomach and gallbladder, SI, LI tend to have microvilli Stratified columnar limited in body, ducts again Transitional Epithelium = Urothelium located in urinary system, like bladder and ureter, and minor/major calices NOT IN URETHRA Cell Types: Umbrella cells binucleated, is dome shaped when urinary structures are empty, flat when full Piriform cells in the middle Basal cells - single layer on bottom , right above BM Embryology: The development of blood vessels Blood vessels develop in two ways: vasculo genesis vessels arise from the combination of blood islands aka angioblasts mainly dorsal aorta, & cardinal veins angiogenesis vessels arise from existing vessels

Abigail said, on February 2, 2009 at 1:17 AM just a little correction, the stomach is the foregut and is supplie by the ciliac artery and not the superior mesenteric, superior mesenteric is for the mid gut.apart from that, this is the best anatomy summary anywhere..good job guys Reply 2. dr.omprakash said, on May 10, 2009 at 4:14 PM simply superb and really educative and very much important not to forget this tips , thanks for giving us this. Reply 3. Dr. Aman Biswas said, on January 10, 2010 at 10:49 AM May God bless you for superb hardwork done.It will help many.Good luck Reply

About This Site:

This site was made for the Anatomy, Histology, Embryology class in 2nd yr, 1st semester at the University of Debrecen. All theoretical topics are listed as described on the website of the Anatomy department. We combined Practical class notes, Moore, Board Review Series textbooks of Gross Anatomy and Embryology, Langmans, DiFiores, as well as the Lab manual for Histology at Semmelweiss. We believe it to be all inclusive of the material you will need for your test. We made them for ourselves, but since people asked for them, and emailing them seemed next to impossible, we decided to post them here. On the left are the newest topics weve added. To see all the topics weve done so far, scroll down and click on the Category you would like to see: Head & eck, Thorax, Abdomen, & Pelvis. Added a search box in the sidebar, so you can search for the item you want. But the best way to find the topic that you want? Scroll down and click on the Link to Topics Page. There is the list of all topics. If a link to your topic of choice exists, weve started/finished it, else were working on it. There! Thats easier, isnt it? Weve added pictures, links, and animations where we have found them.
Hope this helps you, and GOOD LUCK!

(P.s. If you find mistakes, or want to add info, or find something we missed, please comment below the post in question, and we will fix or add it. ) We are adding more info by the day, so check back in with us! Created by Sahaja Parsa and Anne H. contact: sahaja.parsa[at]gmail.com
