Q

Why do doctors ask you to say ‘ahh’

A

Tests the vagus nerve (which provides most motor innervation to the levator palatine muscle)…. the soft palate incl. uvula should lift up….

Q

What occurs if there is a problem with vagus nerve on one side of the soft palate

A

Levator palatine muscle won’t elevate, but the levator palatin muscle on the other side (where vagus is functioning) will elevate normal, so uvula will deviate towards the functioning side (which goes up!), so uvula will deviate AWAY from the lesion

(OPPOSITE with tongue)

20
Q

Which cranial nerve supplies motor innervation to muscles of the tongue

A

XII

21
Q

What is the attachment and function of genioglossus

A

To protrude the tongue….
Genioglossus emerges from mandible (anteriorly) and inserts onto tongue and hyoid bone…

It protrudes the tongue when this muscle contracts (kind of pulls it forward towards mandible when this muscle shortens)

22
Q

How to test genioglossus,. what is there is a problem with the nerve supplying this msucle

A

Ask them to stick tongue out…. if there is no innervation, the tongue is pulled forward on one side and not the other, and it pulled TOWARD the lesion

23
Q

What is the lingual nerve function

A

Sensation as well as taste perception… mixed cranial nerve

24
Q

What is the name of the ganglion under the tongue

A

Submandibular ganglion…. facial innervation to salivary gland

25
Q

Compare the sensation vs taste innervation of the tongue

A

ANT 2/3. Taste= facial. Sensory= trigeminal

Posterior 1/3. Taste and sensation= glossopharyngeal….. SOME vagus

26
Q

Where does taste perception begin…

A

nucleus solitarius in medulla

27
Q

List superficial muscles of mastication and innervation

A

Masseter
zygomatic arch to lat surface of ramus and angle of mandible
elevates mandible (allows forced closure of mouth)

Temporalis- THIN
temporal fossa to coronoid process of mandible
elevates and retracts mandible

All mastication from trigeminal

28
Q

List deep muscles of mastication and innervation

A

Lateral pterygoid:

  • sphenoid /lat pterygoid plate to neck of mandible
  • depresses and protracts mandible to open mouth

Medial pterygoid

  • lat pterygoid plate of sphenoid/ maxilla/palate to angle of mandible
  • elevates, protracts and lateral movement of mandible for chewing

Trigeminal
(vs buccinator is cn7)

29
Q

Where does the mandible articulate in the temperomandibular joint

A

It articulates into the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone

30
Q

What kind of joint is the temperomandibular joint

A

Joint capsule

31
Q

Other importnat component of the temporomandibular joint

A

the articular tubercle anteriorly

32
Q

State the movement in the temporomandibular joint when opening the jaw slightly vs widely

A

Slightly- hinge action between the head of the mandible and the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone

Widely opened- both hinge movement within the mandibular fossa, but the head of the mandible also GLIDES anteriorly to the articular tubercle of the temporal bone

33
Q

What can occur in anteriotly dislocated jaw dyslocation

A

Jaw opens so widely that it glides across the anterior tubercle of temporal bone into the infratemporal fossa (where there are vessels and nerves)

34
Q

How can you put mandible back in place

A

Must put thumbs on back molars, push down (to get passed the articular tubercle) and then back into the mandibilar fossa

35
Q

At what level does the common carotid bifurcate

A

Laryngeal prominence

36
Q

Branches of the external cartotid artery

A 
Superior thyroid
Ascending pharyngeal
Lingual
Facial
Occipital
Posterior auricular
Maxillary
Superficial temporal
37
Q

What does the superior thyroid penetrate

A

thyroid cartilage

38
Q

Why is ascending pharyngeal artery hard to see

A

It originates posteriorly

39
Q

Route of the facial artey

A

Around the inferior border of the mandible up to medial canthas of the eye

It has a loop that allows lovement as it goes around the mandible which is alwayss opening and closing

40
Q

Which important artery emerges from the maxillary artery

A

The middle meningeal artery—-> this branch comes through formaen spinosum

41
Q

What is the course of the facial nerve when it exits the

A

It emerges from pontomedullary junction,and then passes through the interal auditory meatus with the vestibulocochlear nerve.

It passes through the temporal bone and emerges from the stylomastoid foramen

Passes underneath the parotid and then the 5 branches of the facial nerve emerge from the anterior border of the parotid gland….. PAROTID GLAND IT NOT INNERVATED BY THE FACIAL NERVE

42
Q

List the 5 branches of the facial nerve emerging from the parotid

A

Temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular and cervical (supplying the platysma)
You can test facial nerve by asking them to look up and should have creases in forehead

43
Q

Name the course and then two branches of the mandibular nerve

A

Mandibular nerve passes through thhe foramen ovale and then splits into:

  1. Inferior alveolar nerve…. passes into the back of the mandible and it travels through the mandible. Sensory nerve for lower dentition.
  2. The lingual nerve supplies sensory innervation to anterior 2/3 so contains V3 fibres. But it also has facial nerve branches from the chorda tympani (branch of the facial nerve emerging in the temporal bone). Information flow in chorda timpani bidiretional…. they are parasympathetic to submandibular ganglion (to submandibular and sublingual salivary gland) AND taste fibres from the anterior 2/3 of the tongue!!!!
44
Q

What is the terminal branch of the inferior alveolar nerve

A

The mental nerve (relating to mens=chin)

45
Q

How to test V3

A

sensory to the chin

46
Q

Dermatomes of head and neck

A

Look at diagram for trigeminal nerves

47
Q

Innervation of the buccal caviy

A

Hard palate: Greater palatine, nasopalatine nerves (both V2)

Soft palate: lesser palatine nerve (V2)

Floor of oral cavity: lingual nerve (V3)

Cheeks: Buccal nerve (=V3, distinct from buccal branch of facial nerve!)

48
Q

What is the name and function of the recess at the back of the tongue

A

Epiglottice vallecula (recess which allows saliva to collect until next swallow so the saliva doesn’t constalty evoke a swallow reflex)
