  2. Tensor tympani muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_tympani_muscle

    However, the stapedial muscle is innervated by the facial nerve while the tensor tympani is innervated by the trigeminal nerve. The tensor tympani pulls the manubrium of the malleus inwards and tightens it while the stapedial muscle pulls the stapes inward. This tightening damps the sound vibration that is allowed to penetrate the cochlea.

  3. Shoulder injury related to vaccine administration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoulder_injury_related_to...

    SIRVA is caused by improper insertion of the needle used in injections. It is "a preventable occurrence caused by the injection of a vaccine into the shoulder capsule rather than the deltoid muscle. As a result, inflammation of the shoulder structures causes patients to experience pain, a decreased range of motion, and a decreased quality of life."

  4. Trigeminal motor nucleus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigeminal_motor_nucleus

    The trigeminal motor nucleus contains motor neurons that innervate muscles of the first branchial arch, namely the muscles of mastication, the tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid, and anterior belly of the digastric. [1] It is situated in the upper pons, inferior to the lateral part of the floor of the fourth ventricle. [2]

  5. Medial pterygoid nerve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_pterygoid_nerve

    The medial pterygoid nerve supplies the medial pterygoid muscle, tensor tympani muscle, and tensor veli palatini muscle (via the nerve to tensor veli palatini). [1] The tensor veli palati muscle is the only of the five paired skeletal muscles to the soft palate not innervated by the pharyngeal plexus. [citation needed]

  6. Middle ear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_ear

    The stapedius muscle, the smallest skeletal muscle in the body, connects to the stapes and is controlled by the facial nerve; the tensor tympani muscle is attached to the upper end of the medial surface of the handle of malleus [2] and is under the control of the medial pterygoid nerve which is a branch of the mandibular nerve of the trigeminal ...

  7. Medial pterygoid muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medial_pterygoid_muscle

    This also supplies the tensor tympani muscle and the tensor veli palatini muscle. The medial pterygoid nerve is a main trunk from the mandibular nerve, before the division of the trigeminal nerve - this is unlike the lateral pterygoid muscle, and all other muscles of mastication which are supplied by the anterior division of the mandibular nerve.

  8. Intramuscular injection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intramuscular_injection

    Intramuscular injections commonly result in pain, redness, and swelling or inflammation around the injection site. These side effects are generally mild and last no more than a few days at most. Rarely, nerves or blood vessels around the injection site can be damaged, resulting in severe pain or paralysis.

  9. Hilton's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilton's_law

    Hilton's law, espoused by John Hilton in a series of medical lectures given in 1860–1862, [1] is the observation that in the study of anatomy, the nerve supplying the muscles extending directly across and acting at a given joint not only supplies the muscle, but also innervates the joint and the skin overlying the muscle.
