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 ...
It is closely connected to the integument by the firm, dense, fibro-fatty layer which forms the superficial fascia of the scalp. It is attached to the pericranium by loose cellular tissue, which allows the aponeurosis, carrying with it the integument, to move through a considerable distance.
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).
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 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 parietal branch of the superficial temporal artery (posterior temporal) is a small artery in the head. It is larger than the frontal branch and curves upward and backward on the side of the head, lying superficial to the temporal fascia ; it joins with its fellow of the opposite side, and with the posterior auricular and occipital arteries .
The deep temporal space is one of the four compartments of the masticator space, along with the pterygomandibular space, the submasseteric space and the superficial temporal space. [1] The deep temporal space is separated from the pterygomandibular space by the lateral pterygoid muscle inferiorly and from the superficial temporal space by the ...
