The temporal branch of the facial nerve is typically found between the temporoparietal fascia (i.e., superficial temporal fascia) and temporal fascia (i.e., deep temporal fascia). This layer is also known as the innominate fascia. There are several methods using anatomic landmarks that may be used to find the temporal branch of the facial nerve.
The course and connections of the facial nerve in the temporal bone. Cranial nerves VII and VIII and selected structures of the inner and middle ear. 1 Nervus vestibularis , 2 Nervus cochlearis , 3 Nervus intermediofacialis , 4 Ganglion geniculi , 5 Chorda tympani , 6 Cochlea , 7 Ductus semicirculares , 8 Malleus , 9 Membrana tympani , 10 Tuba ...
In anatomy, temporal branches can refer to any one of several different structures near the temple or temporal bone: Nerves Temporal branches of the facial nerve - "rami temporales nervi facialis"
The labyrinthine segment is the shortest and narrowest segment of the facial nerve and ends where the facial nerve forms a bend known as the geniculum of the facial nerve (genu meaning knee), which contains the geniculate ganglion for sensory nerve bodies. The first branch of the facial nerve, the greater petrosal nerve, arises here from the ...
The temporal branches, cross the zygomatic arch to the temporal region. The zygomatic branches, cross the zygomatic bone to the orbit. The buccal branches, pass forward to below the orbit and around the mouth. The marginal mandibular branch passes forward to the lower lip and chin. The cervical branch runs forward forming a series of arches ...
It is a branch of the zygomatic nerve (itself a branch of the maxillary nerve (CN V 2)). It arises in the orbit and exits the orbit through the zygomaticotemporal foramen in the zygomatic bone to enter the temporal fossa. It is distributed to the skin of the side of the forehead. It also contains a parasympathetic secretomotor component for the ...
The facial nerve exits the cranial cavity through the internal acoustic meatus and enters the facial canal. In the facial canal, the chorda tympani branches off the facial nerve and enters the lateral wall of the tympanic cavity inside the middle ear where it runs across the tympanic membrane (from posterior to anterior) and medial to the neck ...
