Fractures of the Hyoid B
Result:
How?
strangulation by compression of the throat.
Hyoid bone compresses Thyroid Cartilage -> difficulty swallowing and maintaining the separation of the alimentary and respiratory tracts.
What are the unique features of the cervical vertebrae?
- Bifed spinous process
- Large triangular vertebral foramen.
- Anterior and posterior tubercles on the transverse processes
- Uncinate processes
- 5. Transverse foramen
- Costotransverse bar
Why do cervical vertbrae have anterior and posterior tubercles on TP?
the anterior tubercle of the transverse process “would have liked to have been a rib.” This is why we have anterior and posterior tubercles
____________ travels in the transverse foramen.
vertebral a.
Mastoid Foramen (transmits what)?
- Mastoid Emissary V.
- Meningeal Branch of Occipital A.
Stylomastiod Foramen (transmits _______)
Facial N.
Mandibular Foramen (transmits __________)
Inferior Alveolar N. and A
Mylohyoid Groove (transmits the _________)
Mylohyoid N.
Mental Foramina (transmit ________)
Mental N. and A.
what houses the submandibular gland?
submandibular fossa
“Cunei” means ____ shaped.
“Cricoid “means ____ shaped.
Corniculate means ____ like.
wedge
ring
horn
Draw and label the thyroid cartilage.
- Lamina
- a. Superior Thyroid Tubercle
- b. Inferior Thyroid Tubercle
- c. Laryngeal Prominence (projects anteriorly)
- d. Oblique Line (insertion for Sternothyroid M., origin for
- Thyrohyoid M.)
- e. Superior Thyroid Notch
- Superior Horn (projects superiorly, joined to the Greater Horn of the
Hyoid B. by the Lateral Thyrohyoid L.) - Inferior Horn (projects inferiorly, articulates with the Lamina of the
Cricoid Cartilage)
Draw and label the cricoid cartilage?
Complete ring of cartilage.
1. Arch.
2. Lamina
Draw and label the arytenoid cartilage?
The arytenoid cartilage articulates with the cricoid cartilage at the articular processes.
- 1. Apex
- 2. Muscular process
- 3. Vocal process
- 4. Articular process.
Draw and label the cuneiform cartilage.
(embedded in Quadrangular Membrane)
Corniculate Cartilage (rests __________)
superiorly on the Arytenoid Cartilage at the Apex
Triticeal Cartilage (embedded in the ___________)
Triticeal Cartilage (embedded in the Lateral Thyrohyoid L.)
Epiglottic Cartilage
Elastic cartilage that narrows down into a stalk.
Stalk of the epiglottis meets. with the lamina of the thyroid cartilage.
Fractures of the Laryngeal Cartilages:
how do we get them?
Results in:
- Typically a result of a blow to the anterior neck in sports or compression by a seat belt in a motor vehicle accident.
- Results in a submucosal hemorrhage and edema, respiratory obstruction, hoarseness and in worst cases a temporary inability to speak.
how is laryngeal cartilage fx different. from hyoid bone fx?
This inability to speak is different from the fracture of the hyoid bone.
