ANAT EMBRYO Flashcards
What forms the external nose?
Nasal bones, external part of cartilaginous nasal septum, and nasal cartilages
3 things that form the medial wall of the nose i.e. nasal septum?
perpendicular plate of the ethmoid, external part of the cartilaginous septum, and the vomer
What epithelium covers the conchae?
pseudostratified epithelium with goblet cells and mucus glands
Name 3 structures that open into the semilunar hiatus
frontal sinus, ethmoid cells, and maxillary sinus
Where does the sphenoid sinus drain?
sphenoethmoidal recess
Which portion of the pharynx contains the 1. piriform recess and 2. the opening of the eustachian tube -name?
- laryngopharynx 2. oropharynx; opening is called the torus tubarius
Which cartilage also contains articular surfaces for the thryoid and arytenoid cartilages?
the cricoid cartilage
What are the 3 joints of the larynx? Which has attachments to bone?
Cricothyroid joint, Cricoarytenoid joint, and thyrohyoid membrane which attaches to hyoid BONE.
Which muscle widens the rima gottidis?
Posterior cricoarytenoideus
Which muscle stretches the vocal cord? Which muscle tenses the vocal cord?
Cricothyroid muscle stretches and vocalis tenses
Which 3 muscles constrict/close the rima glottidis?
Thyroarytenoideus constricts and arytenoideus obliquus and transversus close
Define the following as applies to the larynx: vestibulum, ventricle, and infraglottic cavity
The vestibulum is between the aditus laryngis and the vestibular folds? The ventricle is between the vestibular and vocal folds, and the infraglottic cavity is located undeneath the vocal folds
Compare the size of the rima glottidis in: normal respiration, forced expiration, and whispered speech
In normal respiration it is approximately mid-position, in forced expiration it is very wide, and in whispered speech it is barely open
The hyoid bone corresponds to which vertebral levels?
C3-C5
Which three structures of the larynx are externally palpable?
The laryngeal prominence, the cricoid cartilage, and the cricothyroid ligament
What is the difference between a laryngostomy and a tracheotomy?
Laryngostomy splits the cricothyroid ligament, and the tracheostomy opens the trachea above or below the isthmus of the thryoid
What 2 nerves supply the larynx? What do they innervate?
Superior laryngeal nerve: only innervates the cricothyroid muscle as well as mucosa above vocal folds; the recurrent laryngeal nerve innervates ALL other muscles and the mucosa below the vocal folds (both are CN X)
What 2 arteries supply the larynx? Parent arteries?
Superior laryngeal artery from superior thyroid artery and inferior laryngeal artery from inferior thryoid artery
What ligaments connect tracheal cartilages? Which wall of the trachea contains smooth muscle? What vertebral level is the carina associated with?
Annular ligaments; posterior wall where there is no cartilage; tracheal bifurcation, or carina, is at 5th thoracic vertebral level
What is the heirarchical difference between a segmental and lobar bronchus?
After the main stem bronchi there are secondary (lobar) bronchi followed by tertiary (segmental) bronchi
What wraps around the left main bronchus? What lies in front of it?
Aortic arch wraps around and the pulmonary bifurcation lies in front
What passes in front of the right mainstem bronchus? Where is it going? What lies between the trachea and esophagus?
Azygous vein passes in frong on its way the the SVC, and the left recurrent laryngeal nerve passes between the esophagus and trachea
Name 4 things that occur in the horizontal plane from the angle of Louis to thoracic vertebrae
Sternal angle correlates to T4-5; FOUR THINGS: 1. arch of aorta begins and ends 2. Trachea bifurcates 3. R/L brachiocephalics form the SVC and 4. the pulmonary trunk bifurcates
Which lung has the horizontal fissure? Which lobes does it separate?
The right lung, it separates the upper lobe and middle lobe, it does not affect the lower lobe
