The superficial temporal and the deep temporal spaces are sometimes together called the temporal spaces. The masticator spaces are paired structures on either side of the head. The muscles of mastication are enclosed in a layer of fascia, formed by cervical fascia ascending from the neck which divides at the inferior border of the mandible to ...
The temporoparietal fascia can serve as a donor tissue for reconstructive surgery.It affords reliable flaps with good blood supply when the tissues of the region are intact (however, prior lesions to the region may compromise the blood supply of the tissues; creating flaps from such compromised tissue is contraindicated due to a risk of subsequent ischaemic necrosis of the flap).
Superficial (from Latin superficies ' surface ') describes something near the outer surface of the organism. [1] For example, in skin , the epidermis is superficial to the subcutis . [ 27 ]
The submental space is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space located between the mylohyoid muscle superiorly, the platysma muscle inferiorly, [1] under the chin in the midline.
The superficial cervical fascia is a thin layer of subcutaneous connective tissue that lies between the dermis of the skin and the deep cervical fascia. [1] It contains the platysma , cutaneous nerves [ 1 ] [ 2 ] from the cervical plexus , [ 2 ] blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels.
the superficial temporal artery gives off frontal and parietal branches to supply much of the scalp the occipital artery which runs posteriorly to supply much of the posterior aspect of the scalp the posterior auricular artery , a branch of the external carotid artery, ascends behind the auricle to supply the scalp above and behind the auricle.
The buccal space (also termed the buccinator space) is a fascial space of the head and neck (sometimes also termed fascial tissue spaces or tissue spaces). It is a potential space in the cheek, and is paired on each side.
