Q

waht is the nasopharynx (describe)

A

from the nasal cavity to the uvula, General Sensory innervation from V-2 (and a little from CN9). It contains the Pharyngeal tonsils (adenoids), the opening of the auditory tube, with the torus tubarus (cartilage around the tube), and the salpingopharyneus muscle (tube muscle of the pharyneal)

A

un-encampsulated lymphoid tissues, has clefts to trap the antigens and hopefully get immune response to them.

Q

what happens when you swallow

A

bolus of food in the mouth is against the soft palate, moved to back of throat while the soft palate moves up to close off the nasal cavity and the epiglotis moves down to close off the laryngeal opening. then parastallis contraction of the esophageal muscle will move the bolus down the esophagus

Q

how does the sensory innervation change as you move down the pharynx?

A

It starts as GS in V-2, and then GS from IX, then goes to GS from X. As you continue down the esophagus, it will then transition to VS from X! so there is a transition from GS to VS!

Q

The joint of the Thyroid cartilage and the Cricoid cartilage

A

Cricothyroid joint

20
Q

the cricothyroid joints acts to….

A

gives tension or slack to the vocal chords

21
Q

protuberance of the thyroid cartilage in the neck

A

adam’s apple

22
Q

only circular cartilage in the laryngeal skeleton

A

cricoid cartilage

23
Q

describe the cricoid cartilage

A

forms a Signet ring that is thick in the back and thin in the front, below the thyroid cartilage.

24
Q

Describe the Arytenoid cartilage

A

Musclular process and vocal process. with the vocal ligaments go from anterior of the cartilage to the thyroid cartilage. In the posterior is the musclar process

25
Q

synovial joint between cartilage that allows the abduction and adduction of the vocal chords

A

the cricoarytenoid joint

26
Q

Muscle that would pull on the cricoarytoenoid joint to adduct the vocal chords

A

lateral cricoarytenoid muscles…would swing the muscular process outward (abduct) and this would then lever the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage inward to cause adduction of the vocal chords.

27
Q

Muscel that would pull on the cricoartoenoid joint to abduct the vocal chords

A

Posterior cricoarytenoid muscles pull on the muscular process inward to adduct the the arytenoid cartilage muscular process, and this would in turn abduct the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage and abduct the vocal cartilage.

28
Q

Synovial joint between cartilage of the thyroid and crico type!

A

cricothyroid joint

29
Q

the muscle that acts on the cricothyroid joint

A

cricothyrodeus muscle

30
Q

how does the cricothyrodeus muscle act on the cricothyroid joint?

A

it pulls on the thyroid cartilage anteriorly to increase tension in vocal ligaments

31
Q

the nerve to innervate the cricothyroideus muscle

A

sup. laryngeal n. (CN X)

32
Q

What are the muscles that act to adduct, abduct, tense or lossen the vocal folds, and thus change the pitch

A

Laryngeal Joints (act bilaterally)

33
Q

what nerve innervates the laryngeal muscles

A

the recurrent laryngeal nerve (CN X) with exception of the crycothyroideus muscle of course!

34
Q

Two branches of the Superior Lryngeal Nerve

A

the External laryngeal n (BM-circothyroideus m.) and the Internl laryngeal n. (GS-above vocal chords)

35
Q

The innervation of the External laryngeal nerve….

A

cricothyroideus muscle and parts of the laryngeal constricters. pulls the thyroid forward.

36
Q

Internal laryngeal nerve innervation….

A

goes through the thyroihyoid membrane to the superior portion of the vocal chords to cause you to caugh if you swallow down the wrong tube

37
Q

The innervation given by the Recurrent laryngeal n.

A

BM. to laryngeal mm (except the cricothyroideus) and VS below vocal chords!

38
Q

What nerves innervate the gag-relfex

A

Nerves CN IX gets the sensory and the CN X motor innervates the pharynx muscles.

39
Q

how is The baroreceptor reflex innervated

A

Sensory: CN IX and X sense change in BP (carotid sinus) and CO2/O2 levels (carotid body). that is relayed to the CNS processing: CN IX, and X to the Medulla. Motor output: Heart rate is increased or decreased (CN X (parasympathetics)/Symp).

40
Q

what is anhydrosis?

A

Sweating on the face.

41
Q

what is Ageusia?

A

can’t taste

42
Q

what is aphasia

A

Difficulty speaking due to higher level brain function

43
Q

What is dysphagia

A

difficulty swallowing.

44
Q

what muscle will lift the soft palate?

A

“insy wincy teeny weeny” levato veli palatini muscle (CN X)

45
Q

what are the connections of the vocal ligaments

A

The Arytenoid cartilage posterior and the thyroid cartilage anterior.
