A

T1-T2

Ptosis (Eyelid Droop)

26
Q

Membrane at Palatoglossal Arch?

Boundary between Oral Cavity (precise sensation - somatic sensory) and Pharynx (imprecise sensation - visceral sensory)

27
Q

Branchial Pouch Derivatives

A

Pouch 1 - Tubotympanic Recess - Auditory Tube, Tympanic Cavity

Pouch 2 - Lining of palatine tonsils

Pouch 3 - Inferior Parathyroid Gands and Thymus Gland

Pouch 4 - Suprior Parathyroid Glands and C-Cells of Thyroid

***Pouch 3 migrates caudal to Pouch 4***

28
Q

Branchial Cleft Cysts (Fistulae)

Thryroid Development Errors?

A

Opens anterior to Sternocleidomastoid Muscle

Three Loactions:

1st - Auditory tube

2nd - palatine tonsils (most common)

3rd - piriform recess, Thyrohyoid membrane to clavicle region

4th - Thyroid can develop in tongue (lingual), thyroglossal duct, or pyramiidal lobe

29
Q

Torticollis

A

Face opposite of Sternocleidomastoid contraction (head locked in turned position)

CONTRACTURE, NOT PARALYSIS

30

Accessory Nerve test?

A

Shoulder Shrug

31
Q

Location or Retropharyngeal Space?

A
  1. Investing Layer of Deep Cervical Fascia
  2. Precertebral Layer
  3. Pretracheal Layer
  4. Carotid Sheat: Common and Internal Carotid, Internal Jugular and CN X (Vagus) NOT sympathetic chain

- - -

Retropharyngeal Space between PreTrach and PreVert layers; infection from head (tonsillitis) can spread to mediastinum

32
Q
