What are the contents of the carotid sheath
common carotid artery
internal carotid artery
internal jugular vein
vagus nerve
some lymph nodes
What artery does the maxillary artery originate from?
External carotid artery
Which artery enters the carotid canal
Common carotid artery
Which artery enters the transverse foramina at the level of the sixth cervical vertebra and travels upwards?
Vertebral artery
The superior thyroid, lingual and ascending pharyngeal arteries are branches of which artery?
external carotid
Which two muscles cover the external carotid artery (arteria carotis externa) anteriorly?
sternocleidomastoid muscle
platysma muscle
Which artery gives rise to facial artery
external carotid
At the level of which structure does the maxillary artery break into its terminal branches
pterygopalatine fossa
roughly at which spinal level does the common carotid artery bifurcate
c4
From which artery does the facial artery arise from?
The anterior surface of the external carotid artery
What are the branches of the facial artery
Anna, PLS SIT
Anna, PLS SIT (Ascending palatine artery, Premasseteric artery, Lateral nasal artery, Submental artery, Superior labial artery, Inferior labial artery, Tonsillar artery
Origin of ascending pharyngeal artery
External carotid artery
Which auricular muscles are innervated by the temporal branches of the facial nerve (rami temporales nervi facialis)?
auricularis anterior and auricularis superior
. Which of the following muscles is innervated by the deep buccal branches of the facial nerve (rami buccales nervi facialis)?
levator labii superioris
Which muscle pulls the corners of the mouth downwards
Depressor anguli oris
Between which two muscles of the face does the supratrochlear nerve
frontalis muscle
corrugator supercilli
Which muscle helps in protruding the lower lip
mentalis muscle
What are the insertions of the platysma muscle
above the mandible to the height of the second rib
Which muscle does the angular artery supply
orbicularis occuli
Which muscles does the cervical branch of the facial nerve supply
platysma
Which muscles of facial expression are supplied by the maxillary artery
buccinator muscle
masseter muscle
pterygoid muscles
temporalis muscle
What are the functions of the platysma muscle
it pulls the corner of the mouth laterally and downwards and tightens the skin of the neck
What are the 3 functions of a larynx
1) Respiration
speech
protection
How does the larynx protect?
Closure of epiiglittis prevents food passing into larynx during swallowing. Closure of vocal folds also protective
What are the 3 hyaline cartilages of the larynx
thyroid
cricoid
arytenoid
What are the fibrocartilages of the larynx
1) epiglottis
2) corniculate
3) cuneiform
4) tritiate
name one synovial joint in the larynx
Arytenoid cartilage has a synovial joint with cricoid cartilage at the intermedial surface
And the cricothyroid cartilages
What is the most common kind of joint in the thyroid?
fibrous or ligamentous:
What are the two kinds of folds in the larynx
1) vocal folds
vestibular folds
What are the properties of the vocal folds
They contain elastic vocal ligament medially and vocalis muscle laterally
They are made out of non-keratinised stratified squamous epithelium
They can form a sphnicter which allows air through for sound
What are some properties of vestibular folds
They are upper folds
They are made of respiratory epithelium
They play a protective minor role in normal phonation but interact with vocal folds to produce a specialised deep sound
What are the two extrinsic larynx membranes
1) thyrohyoid membrane
2) cricotracheal membrane
What are the attachments of the thyrohyoid membrane
They connect upper thyroid cartilage to hyoid thickened posterior border of thyrohyoid membrane
What is the function of cricotracheal membrane
cricoid cartilage to trachea
What are the intrinsic membranes of the larynx
quadrangular membrane and cricothyroid membrane
what are the attachments of the quadrangular membrane
It is present and move down to about the vestibular fold. It’s free inferior margin forms the vestibular fold
What does the lower intrinsic membrane form
The cricothyroid membrane forms the vocal ligament
What are the functions of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx?
They vary the rima glottis (gap between vocal folds)
They regulate the tension on vocal folds
They modify the inlet of vocal folds
What muscle abducts the rima glottis?
The posterior cricoarythenoid
What muscles adduct the rima glottis
1) lateral cricoarytenoid
2) transverse arytenoid
3) oblique artyenoid
