Y2 M5 CAO Palpation
Supine
1. Locate clavicle and roll off, sliding down deep into the tissues
2. Have patient take a deep breath in to feel this structure move, or bring arm up and forward to
elicit movement - ANS-First Rib

Supine
1. Locate the mastoid process of the temporal bone, the medial clavicle and the top of the
sternum and draw a line between these landmarks to delineate the location of this structure. Not
how both of these structures form a "V" on the front of the neck
2. Ask you partner to raise their head very slightly off the table as you palpate this structure. It
will usually protrude visibly. To make this structure more distinct, rotate head slightly to the
opposite side and then ask them to flex their neck.
3. Palpate along the borders, following this structure behind the earlobe and then down to the
clavicle and sternum. Sculpt around the skinny sternal tendon and the wider clavicular tendon -
ANS-SCM

Supine
1. Locate this structure by placing your finger behind the earlobe
2. Sculpt around its edges, exploring its entire surface
**NOTE
- This structure is the superficial bump behind the ear and is an attachment site of the SCM and
other muscles - ANS-Mastoid

Supine
1. Place your fingers inferior to the bottom teeth and explore the superficial surface of the
structure
2. Move inferiorly and palpate the edge of this structure. Explore its entire length from chin to
angle
3. With one hand stabilising the structure, slowly curl a fingertip under its edge and into the
fossa - ANS-Mandible
(Body, Base, Submandibular Fossa)

Supine
1. Working laterally from the chin, continue to slide posteriorly along the base toward this point
of the structure. Clarify your location by asking your partner to open their mouth and note the
movement that occurs here
2. Slide superiorly from here onto the other part of this structure, which is deep to the masseter
muscle - ANS-Mandible
(Angle and Ramus)

, Supine
1. Place your fingerpad on the middle aspect of the zygomatic arch
2. Drop half an inch inferiorly and ask your partner to open their mouth fully. As the jaw drops,
the large structure will press into your finger
3. With the mouth still open, explore this portion of the structure - ANS-Mandible
(Coranoid Process)

Supine
1. Place your fingerpad anterior to the ear canal and below the zygomatic arch
2. Ask your partner to open their mouth fully. With this action, this portion of the structure will
become more palpable as it slides anteriorly and inferiorly
3. As the jaw closes, follow this portion of the structure as it returns to its original position -
ANS-Mandible
(Condyle)

Supine
1. Explore this structure by placing your finger anterior to the ear canal. Move anteriorly along
this structure, outlining its sides with your thumb and finger
2. Follow it anteriorly as it merges with the orbit of the eye - ANS-Zygomatic arch

Supine
1. Locate the zygomatic arch and angle of the mandible. Place your fingers between these bony
of the belly. Clarify the finer direction by strumming your fingertips horizontally across its muscle
fibers landmarks and palpate the surface of this structure
2. Ask your partner to alternately clench and relax their jaw as you sculpt out the square shape -
ANS-Masseter

Supine
1. Locate the zygomatic arch. Place your finger pads one inch superior to the arch and ask your
partner to alternately clench and relax their jaw
2. To locate the insertion site of this structure's tendon, ask your partner to open their mouth
wide
3. Locate and explore the coronoid process. Although the coronoid process is not easily
accessed, you may not be able to isolate the tendon of this structure
4. While on this structure, ask partner to alternately clench and relax their jaw to feel this
structure contract - ANS-Temporalis

Supine
1. Place your fingers on the side of the neck below the earlobes
2. Using your flat thumb pads, slide anteriorly and posteriorly to feel the ridge of these
structures. Explore them through the length of the neck
3. If you passively flex, laterally flex or rotate the neck, you can feel these structures move
individually
