LEARNING OBJECTIVE ONE Anatomy and Physiology Review
LEARNING OBJECTIVE ONE Head Skull Cranium and face Cranial bones Frontal Parietal Temporal Occipital
** The Head: • Skull: a bony box protects the brain & special sense organs. • Cranial bones: frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal
Sutures: • immovable joints; coronal: crowns head from ear to ear at the union of the frontal & parietal bones, sagittal: separate headlengthwise between two parietal bones. lambdoid suture separates parietal bones from occipital bone.
FONTANELS(fontenelle= little fountain) • At birth, membrane-covered soft spots between cranial bones • These soft spots will eventually ossify-replaced by bone • Allow for growth of the brain during the first year • Posterior or occipital will ossify by 2 months • Anterior or frontal will ossify by 18-24 months
LEARNING OBJECTIVE ONE • Head Facial bones Facial muscles • Expression of emotion • Neck movement • Controlled by cranial nerves V and VII
FACIAL BONES • 14 Facial Bones articulate at sutures except for the mandible • NASAL-forms part of bridge of nose • PAIRED MAXILLAE- Unite to form upper jaw bone • ZYGOMATIC- Commonly called cheekbones • MANDIBLE- Lower jawbone; largest, strongest facial bone; only skull bone that moves • LACRIMAL- Smallest bones in face; lateral to nasal bones
FACIAL MUSCLES • Facial expressions are formed by the facial muscles • Mediated by cranial nerve VII, the facial nerve • Facial muscle is symmetrical bilaterally, except for an occasional quirk or wry expression
LEARNING OBJECTIVE • Neck • Carotid and temporal arteries • Supported by vertebra and muscles • Neck muscles • Anterior and posterior triangles • Hyoid bone • Thyroid gland
** The Neck: • from base of the skull to manibrium, clavicle, 1st rib,1st thoracic vertebra below. • Structures are: vessels, muscles, nerves, lymphatics & viscera of the respiratory and digestive system. • Carotid artery, jugular vein(internal & external).
NECK VESSELS • TEMPORAL ARTERY-Lies superior to the temporalis muscle, and its pulsation is palpable anterior to the ear • CAROTID ARTERY-Right and left arise from the aorta and are the principal blood supply to the head and neck; each of these two arteries divide to form the external and internal carotid arteries
NECK VESSELS • JUGULAR VEIN- External-Lies superficial to the sternocleidomastoid muscle as it passes down the neck to join the subclavian vein; receives blood from the exterior of the cranium and the deep parts of the face; INTERNAL- Directly continuous with the transverse sinus, accompanying the internal carotid as it passes down the neck; Receives blood from the brain and superficial parts of the face and neck
NECK MUSCLES • STERNOMASTOID- Arises from the sternum and the medial part of the clavicle and extends diagonally across the neck to the mastoid process behind the ear; Accomplishes head rotation and flexion • TRAPEZIUS- Two muscles that form a trapezoid shape on the upper back arising from the occipital bone and extends fanning out to the clavicle and scapula; moves the shoulders and extends and turns the head
Muscles : • sternomastoid ( head rotation & head flexion)& trapezius( moves shoulders &extend & turn head).
MUSCLES OF THE NECK • Muscles of the Neck Figure 13-4. p 274.
LANDMARKS • Vertebra Prominens-C7 vertebra; has a long spinous process that can be felt when the neck is flexed • Temporal Artery-Pulsation is palpable anterior to ear
Thyroid gland: • in the middle of the neck, has 2 lobes, separated by isthmus, secrete T3&T4 hormones(stimulate metabolism)
Cricoid cartilage: above thyroid isthmus, thyroid cartilage above that(adam’s apple) in males, highest is hyoid bone.
* The Lymphatic's 1. preauricular: in front of ear 2. posterior auricular: superficial to mastoid process 3. occipital: at the base of the skull 4. submental: midline 5. submandibular: halfway between the angle & tip of the mandible.
The Lymphatic's: 6. superficial cervical: overlying sternomastoid muscle 7. deep cervical: under sternomastoid muscle 8. posterior cervical: at the edge of the trapezius 9. supraclavicular: above clavicle, at sternomastoid
LEARNING OBJECTIVE TWO • Focused Interview • General questions
* Subjective Data: 1.Headache: onset- when did this kind of headache start? Location- where do you feel it? • Is pain localized on one side or all over? • Character: throbbing(shooting) or aching (dull)? • Is it mild, moderate, or sever? • Duration- what time of day do the headaches occur: morning, evening?
1.Headache: cont • How long do they last? • Precipitating factors- what brings it on? • Associated factors- as nausea or vomiting? • Do you have any other illness? Do you take any medications?
Types of headaches • Headaches • Migraine • Cluster • Tension
2. Head injury: • onset-when? describe exactly what happened? • Setting- any hazardous conditions as(wearing helmet)? • Any hx of illness as DM? • Duration- how long were you unconscious? • Associated symptoms- as vision change?
3. Dizziness: • onset- abrupt or gradual? Associated factors? As nausea or vomiting or tinnitus 4. Neck Pain: • onset- how did the pain start? injury – accident…etc • location- does the pain radiate? to shoulder, arms? • Associated symptoms- limitations to range of motion • Precipitating factors-what movements cause pain?
6. Lumps or swelling: • how long have you had it? has it changed in size? • Any difficulty swallowing? • Do you smoke? • Ever had a thyroid problem? 7. history of head or neck surgery: • for what condition? when did the surgery occur?
Specific Questions • Illness, infection, or injury • Symptoms • Pain • Behaviors • Infants and children • Environment
** Objective Data: The Head:
LEARNING OBJECTIVE THREE Assessment of the Head and Neck Techniques Inspection Palpation Auscultation
LEARNING OBJECTIVE THREE • Areas of the Head • Palpation of the head and scalp • Observation of the skin and tissue integrity • Palpation of the temporal artery
Areas of the Head • Inspection and palpate of the head and scalp • Inspection and palpateof the face • Observation of movements of the head, face, and eyes
* INSPECT & PALPATE SKULL • 1- size & shape: Normocephalic, round symmetric skull, related to body size. for shape palpate scalp, no tenderness(symmetric & smooth). • 2- temporal area: palpate temporal artery, palpate joint tempomandibular joint- as the person opens mouth, no limitation or tenderness.
** INSPECT THE FACE: • facial structures: facial expression appropriate to behavior CN VII , symmetric same for eye brows, nasolabial folds & sides of the mouth. note any involuntary movements.
Abnormal Facial Features • TICS- Abnormal facial movements • Exophthalmos- bulging eyeballs • Acromegaly- Gradual enlargement of the bones of the face and jaws
Abnormalities of the Skull and FaceParalysis following brain attack
The Neck: ** INSPECT & PALPATE THE NECK:
