Temporal fascia

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muscles of the head and neck with the temporal fascia roughly in the middle of the head

The temporal fascia covers the temporalis muscle as a fascia and partly also serves as its origin. The cranial (head-facing) attachment point for the fascia is the layer of the superior temporal line , where it borders on the aponeurotic galea ; Depending on the leaf, the caudal (tail-side) attachment points are the medial and other times the lateral edge of the zygomatic arch : the superficial lamina (one leaf of the fascia) attaches to the outer edge of the zygomatic bone, while the deep lamina (the other leaf) attaches to the Inner edge. Both leaves have separate blood vessels for supply, but otherwise show no significant differences in their histological structure or elasticity. At the zygomatic arch, the fascia finally merges into the masseteric fascia .

With its two leaves, the fascia delimits a kind of space with the planum temporale , which was also called the lodge of the temporalis muscle . This space is open caudally between the zygomatic arch and the temporal crest and is divided by the frontosphenoid process and the zygomaticus ossis frontalis process .
