D.I.E. Again

Life during degree is very difficult as compared with foundation...So many muscles to learn first of all..How many muscles are there actually in the mouth?So far what I have learnt is levator labii superioris, levator anguli oris, depresssor labii inferioris, depressor anguli oris, zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor and risorious muscles and orbicularis oris, buccinator and mentalis...Its madness..Just part from the face..

Then I have to know muscles of nose..And again I ask how many muscles are there altogether in the nose?From my knowledge so far, what I know is only procerus, comprssor naris, dilator naris and depressor septi nasi muscle..

And do you know the longest name of muscles in our face?Its levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle which is situated in the mouth..It's just so many things to remeber in Anatomy..

Next in face,I have to know the muscles in the eyes...There are levator palpabrae superioris and orbicularis occuli and currugator supercilii..Just imagine I not only need to know the name but the positions as well...And this is only muscle in Face topic...

There are many more to go...for example the blood vessels which comprises arteries and veins..The arterial supply to the face includes facial artery which branches into superior labii which supply the upper lips while inferior labii supply the lower lips..

The venous drainage includes facial veins and retromandibular veins..Now how is facial veins formed?Now, at the beginning, supratrochlear would merge with supraorbital to form angular vein before forming facial vein..Next is the formation of retromandibular vein..How is it formed?It is formed through the merging of superficial temporal vein with the maxillary vein to form retromandibular vein which comprises anterior and posterior division..

Having know that,now I should know how anterior division will form internal jugular vein..Meanwhile, how did posterior divison of retromandibular vein form the external jugular vein?Just so many questions lingering in the mind..So at the beginning, the anterior divison would combine with the facial vein which had been formed earlier on to produce common facial vein which would eventually formed the internal jugular vein..

Posterior division would combine with posterior auricular vein to form the external jugular which would eventually formed the subclavian vein..Wow so many facts to know, not forgetting the drawing and labelling of diagrams for my upcoming CA which is around the corner...So scary hor...

After I knew the muscles and blood vessels,diagram labelling and drawing and parts of them,I have to know the name of nerves in the face..Haiz...So ma fan have to memorize all these facts..

The nerves divided into two which comprises sensory and motor..The sensory usually is supplied by the trigeminal nerve while the motor usually by the VII cranial nerve in our face.. For example,in order to supply the face sensory nerve comprises trigeminal nerve which is branched into three divison which comprises ophthalmic division, maxillary divison and mandibular divison..

And in ophthalmic divison,there are five sub-divison which I had to know..There are supraorbital, supratrochlear, palpebrae part of lacrimal nerve, external nasal of anterior ethmoidal nerve and infratrochlear.

In maxillary divison,there are three sub-division which comprises zygomaticotemporal, infraorbital and zygomaticofacial nerves..

In mandibular division,there are also three sub-division which comprises auriculotemporal,mental and buccal nerves...

Just can't remember all of these names..And Face is just part of my syllabus...There are more to come actually for example hearts,scalp,mediastanum,embryology,human development of heart,pharnygeal arch..wow and many mores...can die already 1st year..

Hopefully can score...I think will not be needing this information in future...But I love the colouring book of NEtter...Just the problem is the input is so much and the duration for examination preparation is very less...
