Anatomy Flashcards
Mastication
Chewing
Deglutition
Swallowing
Adult dentition
32 teeth
All erupted by 18
4 quadrants (upper left etc)
Muscles of mastication
Temporalis close
Masseter close
Lateral pterygoid open
Medial pterygoid close
Muscles of mastication supplied by
Trigeminal nerve
Course of mandibular division of trigeminal nerves
From Pons
Thorugh Foramen Ovale
To muscles of mastication and sensory area
What CN supplies salivary gland
CN VII
Gag reflex
Sensory part = CN IX
Motor part = CN IX and CN X
Extrinsic tongue muscles
Change position of tongue during mastication, swallowing and speech
Intrinsic tongue muscles
modify shape of tongue during function
All tongue muscles are innervated by
CN XII
Hypoglossal nerve course
From medulla
Through hypoglossal canal
To extrinsic and intrinsic muscle of tongue
Pharynx innervated by
Vagus CN X
Anatomy of swallowing
- Close lips to prevent drooling
- Tongue pushes bolus posteriorly towards oropharynx
- Pharyngeal constrictor muscles contract to push bolus towards oesophagus
- I
Cervical constriction of oesophagus
Cricopharyngeus muscle
Thoracic constriction of oesophagus
Arch of aorta
Left main bronchus
Diaphragmatic constriction of oesophagus
Passes through diaphragm
Lower oesophageal sphincter
Lower oesophageal sphincter
Helps reduce reflux
Stomach
Lies in left hypochondrium, epigastric and umbilical region
Parts of colon
Caecum Appendix Ascending colon Transverse colon Descending colon Sigmoid colon
Guarding
Muscles contract to guard abdominal organs when injury threatens
Occurs in peritonitis
Intraperitoneal Organs structure
Almost completley covered in visceral peritoneum
Minimally mobile
Intraperitoneal organs structure
Organs with a mesentery
Covered in visceral peritoneum
Mobile
Retroperitoneal organs structure
Only have visceral peritoneum on anterior surface
Located in retroperitoneum
Intrapertioneal organs
Liver + gall bladder Stomach Spleen Parts of SI Transvers colon
Retroperitoneal organs
Kidneys Adrenal gland Pancreas Ascending colon Descending colon
Mesentery
Usually connects organ to posterior body wall
Omentum
Double layer of peritoneum that passes from stomach to adjacent organs
Peritoneal ligaments
Double layer of peritoneum connecting organs to one another or body wall
Ascites
Collection of fluid in the peritoneal cavity
Common causes of ascites
Cirrhosis
Portal hypertension
Procedure to drain ascitic fluid
Paracentesis
Abdominocentesis
Needle placed lateral to rectus sheath
Avoids inferior gastric artery
Visceral pain
From organ
Dull, achy and nauseating
Somatic pain
From body wall,
Sharp, stabbing
How do sympathetic nerve fibres get to abdomen
Leave between T5 and L2, within abdominopelvic sphincter
Where do sympathetic nerve fibres for adrenal gland leave spinal cord
T10-L1
Foregut oran problems tend to be painful in
Epigastric region
Midgut organ problems tend to be felt in
Umbilical region
Hindgut organ problems tend to be felt in
Pubic region
Thoracoabdominal nerves
7th-11th intercostal nerves
Subcostal nerve
T12 anteior
Iliohypogastric nerve
half of L1 anterior ramus
Ilioinguinal nerve
other half of L1 anterior ramus
