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.
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"
Cervical branch of the facial nerve; Cervical plexus; Chorda tympani; Ciliary ganglion; Coccygeal nerve; Cochlear nerve; Common fibular nerve; Common palmar digital nerves of median nerve; Deep branch of the radial nerve; Deep fibular nerve; Deep petrosal nerve; Deep temporal nerves; Diagonal band of Broca; Digastric branch of facial nerve ...
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 ...

The temporal fascia (or deep temporal fascia [1]: 357 ) is a fascia of the head that covers the temporalis muscle and structures situated superior to the zygomatic arch. [ 2 ] The fascia is attached superiorly at the superior temporal line ; inferiorly, it splits into two layers at the superior border of the zygomatic arch .
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 ...
