Q

Which cranial nerve supplies the general sensation for the inferior part of the oral cavity?

A

CN V3

Mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve

26
Q

Which cranial nerve supplies the superior half of the oral cavity for general sensation?

A

CN V2

Maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve

27
Q

What is the gag reflex?

A

Protective reflex which prevents foreign bodies (i.e stuff you don’t want to eat) from entering the larynx or pharynx

28
Q

Which cranial nerve supplies the sensory fibres for the gag reflex?

A

CN IX

Glossopharyngeal nerve

29
Q

Which cranial nerveS supply the motor fibres for the gag reflex?

A

CN IX, X

Glossopharyngeal nerve

Vagus nerve

30
Q

Why is anaesthetic required to perform endoscopy?

A

Insertion of endoscope into oral cavity would trigger gag reflex

Anaesthetic blocks cranial nerves responsible for gag reflex

31
Q

What is CN V2?

A

MAXILLARY division of the trigeminal nerve

32
Q

Name CN V2 and V3.

A

V2 - maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve

V3 - mandibular division of “”

33
Q

Which hole in the sphenoid bone does CN V2 pass through?

A

Foramen rotundum

34
Q

Which cranial nerve connects with the medulla and is involved in the sensory AND motor part of the gag reflex?

A

CN IX

Glossopharyngeal nerve

35
Q

Which holes, found near the foramen magnum, does CN IX pass through?

A

Jugular foramen

36
Q

What are the three pairs of salivary glands found in the oral cavity?

A

Parotid glands

Submandibular glands

Sublingual glands

37
Q

Where does the parotid duct secrete saliva in the oral cavity?

A

Upper 2nd molars

38
Q

Which duct, found in the floor of the mouth, secretes saliva from the submandibular gland?

A

Lingual caruncle

39
Q

Which cranial nerve supplies the parotid glands?

A

CN IX

Glossopharyngeal nerve

40
Q

Which cranial nerve supplies the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands?

A

CN VII

Facial nerve

41
Q

Which cranial nerve supplies the tongue muscles?

Which tongue muscle is the only exception?

A

CN XII - Hypoglossal nerve

Palatoglossus

42
Q

Most muscles of the tongue are supplied by the ___ nerve.

A

hypoglossal

CN XII

43
Q

Which type of voluntary muscles are found in the pharynx?

A

Constrictor muscles

44
Q

Which cranial nerve supplies the constrictor muscles of the pharynx?

A

CN X

Vagus nerve

45
Q

What is a raphe?

A

Ridge of continuous tissue (basically a big line of connections)

46
Q

Which structure acts as the origin and insertion for the pharyngeal constrictor muscles?

A

Pharyngeal raphe

47
Q

Which muscles, found in the pharynx, constrict to shorten the pharynx and close the larynx during swallowing?

A

Longitudinal muscles

48
Q

Is the initiation of swallowing voluntary or involuntary?

A

Voluntary

49
Q

After the initiation, is swallowing voluntary or involuntary?

A

Involuntary

All or nothing process

50
Q

What is the upper oesophageal sphincter also known as?

A

Cricopharyngeus muscle

51
Q

Do parasympathetics speed up peristalsis or slow it down?

A

Speed up peristalsis

52
Q

Do sympathetics speed up peristalsis or slow it down?

A

Slow down peristalsis

53
Q

At which vertebral level is the cricopharyngeus found?

A

C6

54
Q

At which vertebral level does the oesophagus start?

A

C6

i.e the level of the cricopharyngeus

55
Q

Which heart chamber is the oesophagus in contact with?

A

Left atrium

56
Q

Why can left atrial hypertrophy cause dysphagia?

A

Left atrium is contact with oesophagus, hypertrophy causes compression

57
Q

Is the lower oesophageal sphincter an anatomical structure?

A

No

58
Q

Which muscle’s contraction forms the lower oesophageal sphincter?

A

Diaphragm

59
Q

What may occur if the lower oesophageal sphincter fails?

A

Acid reflux

60
Q

What name is given to the abrupt change in the type of mucosa lining the oesophagus, just before the lower oesophageal sphincter?

A

Z line
