 Boundaries of the face
• SUPERIORLY

Auricle
Forehead – common to scalp & face

FOREHEAD – COMMON TO SCALP & FACE

 SKIN


• very vascular (Blush & blanch)
• wounds of face bleed profusely but heals rapidly
• Rich In Sebaceous & Sweat Glands
Sebaceous glands – Oily
Sweat glands – Regulation of body temperature
• Boils – Nose & ear – Painful- Fixity of skin to the
underlying cartilages
 SUPERFICIAL FASCIA

• Facial Muscles –
Inserted into the skin

• Vessels And Nerves –

To Muscles & Skin

• Variable Amount Of Fat

 DEEP FASCIA

ABSENT FROM
THE FACE

•Parotid gland – Parotid fascia

•Buccinator – Buccopharyngeal fascia
 FACIAL MUSCLES
• Muscles for facial expression
• Developed from the 2nd pharyngeal arch

• Supplied by the Facial nerve

• MOTOR SUPPLY • SENSORY SUPPLY

FACIAL NERVE TRIGEMINAL NERVE

Facial nerve
SUPPLY TO VARIOUS
MUSCLES
SENSORY NERVE
SUPPLY
BLOOD SUPPLY OF THE FACE
 FACIAL ATERY ORIGIN

• From the
External carotid
artery
• Just above the
tip of greater
cornu of Hyoid
bone
 Course in the neck
• Ascends vertically upwards deep to
posterior belly of digastric and stylohyoid
muscle

• Lodged in a groove behind submandibular

gland

• Passes downward and forward between

submandibular gland and medial pterygoid
to appear at lower border of Mandible.

• Curves around lower border of mandible

• Pierces the deep fascia to enter face
• Appears at anteroinferior angle of the
Messeter muscle

APPLIED ANATOMY
 Trigeminal neuralgia
(Tic Douloureux)

• Trigeminal neuralgia is sudden, severe facial pain.

• It's often described as a sharp shooting pain or like having an

electric shock in the jaw, teeth or gums.

• It affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from

your face to your brain.

• If you have trigeminal neuralgia, even mild stimulation of

your face — such as from brushing your teeth or putting on
makeup — may trigger a jolt of excruciating pain
