41
What are the blood supplies to the rectum and anal canal?
Hindgut part - superior rectal artery from IMA Somatic part (below the pectinate line) - middle and inferior rectal arteries from the internal iliac artery.
42
What cranial nerve innervates the palatoglossus muscle in the tongue
The palatoglossus muscle is innervated by the vagus nerve (CNX)
43
What are the 3 muscles associated with levator ani?
1. iliococcygeus 2. pubococcygeus 3. Puborectalis
44
For lymphatic drainage what was 1) structure above the pectinate line 2) structure below the pectinate line
1) IM nodes 2) Superficial inguinal nodes
45
For venous drainage what was 1) structure above the pectinate line 2) structure below the pectinate line
1) portal system via inferior mesenteric vein 2) venous drainage from the rectum and anal canal drains into the systemic venous system through the internal iliac vein

47
What does pudendal mean (nerve)?
a branch of the sacral plexus (S2-S4), which provides the somatic innervation to the anal canal

1) inferior mesenteric vein 2) internal iliac vein
49
Definition of inferior mesenteric vein
The inferior mesenteric vein (IMV) drains blood from the lower colon and rectum to the liver

Trigeminal nerve CNV1- Ophthalmic division CNV2- Maxillary division CNV3- Mandibular division
52
Explain CNV1
This branch provides sensory innervation to the upper face, including the forehead, scalp, upper eyelid, and the front of the head.
53
Explain CNV2
This branch supplies sensory innervation to the middle portion of the face, including the lower eyelid, cheeks, nose, upper lip, and upper teeth
54
Explain CNV3
This branch provides sensory innervation to the lower face, jaw, and certain muscles involved in chewing
55

S4, inferior rectal nerve
56
What is the only voluntary phase of swallowing?
Oral phase
57
Where is secretin synthesised?
Synthesised by S cells found mainly in the duodenum
58
Where is moltein synthesised?
Motilin is a polypeptide hormone secreted by M cells found in the small intestine crypts, particularly the duodenum and jejunum
59
Gastrin is a peptide hormone produced in the stomach and duodenum. What is the function of this hormone?
Stimulates parietal cells in the stomach to produce gastric acid
