Nurs 226 Exam 2 Content: UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
skull bones • frontal
• parietal
• occipital
• temporal
• sphenoid
sutures of the skull • sagittal
• coronal (crown)
• lambdoid
coronal suture crowns the head from ear to ear at the union of the frontal and parietal bones
sagittal suture separates the head lengthwise between the two parietal bones
lambdoid suture separates the parietal bone crosswise from occipital bone
brain meninges • suspend and support the brain
• shock absorbers in case of trauma
what nerve in the face controls facial VII
expressions/movement?
all facial structures including the eyes, eyebrows, ears, symmetrical
nose, and mouth should be...?
palpebral fissure openings between eyelids
facial muscle function is... symmetric bilaterally, except for an occasional quirk or wry expression
, salivary glands include • sublingual
• submandibular
• parotid
sublingual glands lie in the floor of the mouth, under the tongue
submandibular glands beneath the mandible at the angle of the jaw
parotid glands in the cheeks over the mandible, anterior to and below the ear
temporal artery lies superior to the temporalis muscle; its pulsation is palpable anterior to the ear
temporomandibular joint connection on either side of the head between the temporal bone of the skull
and mandibular bone of the jaw
the neck considered from base of skull & mandible down to clavicles, manubrium, & T1
vasculature of neck: • internal carotid
• external carotid
• internal jugular
• external jugular
internal carotid artery branches off the common carotid and runs inward & upward to supply the brain
external carotid artery supplies the face, salivary glands, and superficial temporal area
carotid artery & internal jugular vein lies beneath the sternomastoid muscle
external jugular vein runs diagonally across the sternomastoid muscle
the main neck muscles sternomastoid & trapezius are CN XI (spinal)
innervated by
sternomastoid muscle • arises from the sternum and the clavicle and extends diagonally across the neck
to the mastoid process behind the ear
• accomplishes head rotation & flexion
trapezius muscle • arise from the occipital bone + the vertebrae + extend fanning out to the scapula
+ clavicle
• moves shoulders + extend + turn head
triangular regions of neck • anterior triangle + posterior triangle
