Anatomy... don't forget Flashcards

1
Q

3 points on middle meningeal artery

A
  • Runs medial to pterion (risk of laceration in head injury)
  • Branch of maxillary artery (last branch of ECA)
  • Laceration leads to EXTRADURAL haemotoma…increased cranial pressure

24
Q

5 extratemporal branches of facial nerve? (these are all motor branches btw)

A
Temporal
Zygomatic
Buccal
Marginal mandibular
Cervical
25
Q

Function of semicircular canals?

A

Detect ROTATIONAL movements (head turns, nods etc). Cristae are groups of cells fulfilling this function within the AMPULLA part of the canals.

26
Q

Function of utricle and saccule?

A

Detect LINEAR movements (side to side, forward & back, gravity). Maculae are groups of cells fulfilling this function.

27
Q

Composition of endolymph?

A

Low Na

High K

28
Q

Composition of perilymph?

A

High Na

Low K

29
Q

What is otoconia?

A

Calcium carbonate crystals that give gel above inertia (IN MACULA of utricle/saccule)
Become dislodged in BPPV

30
Q

What is the vestibulo-ocular reflex?

A

Each semicircular canal is paired with two opposing occular muscles, resulting in the ability to turn the head quickly but allow the eyes to focus on one point.

31
Q

Difference between vestibular neuritis and labrynthinitis

A

Vestibular neuritis: affects ONLY the vestibular (usually superior) nerve. Therefore only vestibular symptoms.
Labrynthinitis causes both vestibular and cochlear symptoms

32
Q

What are the two windows of the middle ear and functions?

A

Oval window, attachment of stapes to cochlear

Round window allows movement of endolymph within cochlea and thus conversion of sound into neural signal

33
Q

Functions of extratemporal branches of facial nerve

A
Temporal - raise eyebrows
Zygomatic - shut eyes tight
Buccal - puff out cheeks
Marginal mandibular - show teeth
Cervical - contract platysma
34
Q

Classic canal for BPPV otoconia to become lodged

A

POSTERIOR semicircular canals (due to geometry)

35
Q

What is the lamina papyracae?

A

Orbital lamina forming large part of the medial orbital wall. It is thin, and may be subject to damage.
Part of ethmoid bone

36
Q

Virchows Triad?

A

Endothelial injury
Haemostasis
Hypercoagulability

37
Q

Sialolithiasis most common ducts?

A

Submandibular salivary duct (80-90%)

Rest in parotid duct

38
Q

Sensory innervation of the tongue? (Not taste)

A

Anterior two-thirds:
Lingual branch of CNV3
Posterior third:
CNIX

39
Q

Sensory (taste) innervation of the tongue?

A

Anterior two-thirds:
Chorda tympani branch of CNVII
Posterior third:
CNIX

40
Q

Motor innervation of the tongue?

A

All intrinisic and extrinsic muscles are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (CNVII), apart from palatapharyngeus which is innervated by the vagus nerve (CNX)

41
Q

Innervation of submandibular and subingual glands?

A

Q

Sublingual secretions?

A
