Q

Role of the conchae

A

Increase S.A. of nasal cavity so more efficient at heating and humidifying the air as it passes to the lungs.

Q

How does the mucoperiosteum act to warm air in the nasal cavity

A

Very rich in blood vessels which swell when increased blood flow and reduce the volume of nasal cavity so make it warmer.

Q

During swallowing, how does the laryngeal opening get closed off

A
  1. Hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage move up and forward (due to the action of geniohyoid and constrictor muscles) so epiglottis flops down and covers the opening.
  2. Arytenoid cartilages move forwards and medially (due to the action of the laryngeal muscles) to close of the glottis using the vocal folds.

When the condyle overshoots the articular eminence. Can only happen anteriorly (there’s bone medially and the lateral pterygoid muscle laterally).

A

A potential space above the Dura Mater containing the meningeal arteries.
As the dura mater is v tightly associated with the cranium, a hemorrhage here can’t spread so causes a localized coning and increase in intracranial pressure. This can force the brain down and put pressure on the brain stem = v dangerous.

160
Q

Subarachnoid space and consequeces of a haemorrage here

A

A real space, containing brain arteries, nerves and CSF (which reduces the brains apparant weight and cusions it).
Slower raise in intracranial pressure as the fluid can spread so less dangerous.
