Anatomy Flashcards
2 sections of nose
nasal vestibule
nasal cavity
nasal vestibule features
simple squamous epithelium
keritonised -> non keritonized, deep
4 sections of nasal cavity
spheno ethmoidal recess
superior conchae
middle conchae
inferior conchae
3 cartilage protrusions into nasal cavity
inferior/middle/ superior meatus
Spheno-ethmoidal recess histology
olfactory epithelium + receptors
function of nasal conchae
turbulates air
better warming + moistening
Histology of nasal pharynx
- resp. epithelium + goblet cells
respiratory epithelium
pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium
cranial b=nerve responsible for sneezing
CN V (trigeminal)
- part 1 anteriorly
- part 2 posteriorly
Nasopharynx cough receptors
glossopharyngeal nerve
- CN IX
Glossopharyngeal nerve pathway
- jugular foramen
surface of carotid sheath
Oral pharynx histology
simple squamous epithelium
- more resilient to damage (food bolus)
Larygeal pharynx cough receptors
Cranial nerve X
- vagus nerve
jugular foramen
within carotid sheath
Cartilage in larynx
thyroid cartilage circoid cartilage epiglottis Arytenoid cartilage corniculate cartilage cuneiform cartilage
Features of thyroid bone
- suspended by hyoid bone
thyrohyoid membrane - forms laryngeal prominence
- epiglottis attachment
