| cervical branch of facial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> The most inferior branch of the parotid plexus of the facial nerve, it descends to innervate the platysma muscle. Synonym: ramus colli nervi facialis, ramus cervicalis nervi facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| peripheral facial paralysis | A condition that involves the facial nerve (VII cranial nerve) and results in the paralysis of one side of the face. Bell's (facial nerve palsy) can be differentiated from a central (stroke) deficit by the inability to raise the eyebrow on the affected side. (27 Sep 1997) |
| root of facial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Fibres running from the facial motor nucleus upward to the facial colliculus where they curve around the abducens nucleus and then pass peripherally between the superior olive and sensory nucleus of the trigeminal, to emerge as the facial nerve from the pontomedullary groove. Synonym: radix nervi facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| common facial vein | <anatomy, vein> A short vessel formed by the union of the facial vein and the retromandibular vein, emptying into the jugular vein; considered to be a continuation of the facial vein in the NA. Synonym: vena facialis communis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branches of auriculotemporal nerve to facial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branches conveying fibres from the auriculotemporal nerve to the facial nerve. Synonym: rami communicantes nervi auriculotemporalis cum nervo faciali. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of facial nerve with glossopharyngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> A small branch from the digastric branch of the facial nerve to the glossopharyngeal nerve. Synonym: ramus communicans cum nervo glossopharyngeo, Haller's ansa. (05 Mar 2000) |
| communicating branch of facial nerve with tympanic plexus | A fine branch of facial nerve joining the tympanic branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve. Synonym: ramus communicans nervi facialis cum plexu tympanico. (05 Mar 2000) |
| motor nucleus of facial nerve | A group of motor neurons located in the ventrolateral region of the lower pontine tegmentum and innervating the facial muscles, the stapedius muscle in the middle ear, the posterior limb of the musculus digastricus, and the stylohyoid muscle. Synonym: nucleus nervi facialis, facial motor nucleus, motor nucleus of facial nerve, nucleus facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| congenital facial diplegia | <syndrome> A developmental bilateral facial paralysis usually associated with oculomotor or other neurological disorders. Synonym: congenital facial diplegia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscles of facial expression | The numerous muscles supplied by the facial nerve that are attached to and move the skin of the face. Nomina Anatomica also includes the buccinator muscle in this group; even though it functions primarily in mastication. Synonym: musculi faciales, facial muscles, mimetic muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior facial vein | <anatomy, vein> It is formed by the union of the superficial temporal and maxillary veins in front of the ear, runs posterior to the ramus of the mandible through the parotid gland, and unites with the posterior auricular vein to form the external jugular vein; it usually has a large communicating branch with the facial vein. Synonym: vena retromandibularis, posterior facial vein, temporomaxillary vein, vena facialis posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
| prominence of facial canal | The prominence on the medial wall of the tympanic cavity above the vestibular (oval) window produced by the presence of the facial canal. Synonym: prominentia canalis facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hiatus of facial canal | The opening on the anterior aspect of the petrous part of the temporal bone which leads to the facial canal and gives passage to the greater petrosal nerve. Synonym: hiatus canalis nervi petrosi majoris, fallopian hiatus, Ferrein's foramen, hiatus canalis facialis, hiatus of canal for greater petrosal nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| horizontal part of facial canal | First portion of facial canal, between beginning of canal (at the introitus of the facial canal at the end of the internal auditory meatus) and the point at which it turns to descend, beginning the descending part. There are two components (crura) of the horizontal part: the medially-located, anteriorly-directed medial crus and the laterally-placed, posteriorly-directed lateral crus, the two being continuous at a sharp bend, the genu of the facial canal. This lateral part is where the genicular ganglion is located and which communicates with the middle cranial fossa via the hiatus of the facial canal, through which the greater superficial petrosal nerve passes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| stylohyoid branch of facial nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Branch of facial nerve to stylohyoid muscle. Synonym: ramus stylohyoideus nervi facialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| facial v., transverse |
vena transversa faciei.
