Head and Neck Anatomy Q&A

• 33. Zygomaticus minor muscle insertion: From the anterior portion of the zygomatic bone to the upper lip.
• 34. Buccal nerve innervation: Posterior and inferior portion of the vestibule, buccal side of the gums of premolars and molars, and skin of the cheek.
• 35. Terminal branches of the infraorbital nerve: Palpebral, nasal, and labial.
• 36. Tensor tympani muscle innervation: Medial pterygoid nerve (branch of the trigeminal nerve).
• 37. Cerebellar peduncles connection: Connects the cerebellum with the brainstem.
• 38. Temporalis muscle insertion: Medial side of the coronoid process.
• 39. Main nerves in the sublingual region: Lingual and hypoglossal nerves.
• 40. Arteries arising from the anterior external carotid: Superior thyroid, lingual, and facial arteries.
• 41. Exit of the mastoid segment of the facial canal: Stylomastoid foramen.
• 42. Muscle inserted on the maxillary tuberosity: Superficial head of the medial pterygoid muscle.
• 43. Sensory innervation of the anterior cervical triangle: Transverse cervical nerve.
• 44. Artery crossing the buccal intermuscular space: Facial artery.
• 45. Masseter muscle (deep portion) insertion: Medial side of the zygomatic arch.
