Q

what is the soft palate?

A
  • the movable posterior 1/3 of the palate

- it has no bony skeleton and uses a series of muscles to move and tighten the fibrous palatine aponeurosis

25
what does the soft palate do to prevent passage of food into the nasal cavity?
-elevates and tenses when swallowing
26
what nerve are the skeletal muscles of the soft palate supplied by?
- vagus nerve (CN X) | - except for tensor veli palatini which is supplied by the mandibular portion of the trigeminal nerve (CN V3)
27
what are the skeletal muscles of the soft palate?
- palatoglossus - musculus uvulae - palatopharyngeus - levator veli palatini - tensor veli palatini
28
what is the role of the palatoglossus?
- skeletal muscle of soft palate | - depresses soft palate towards tongue
29
what is the role of the musculus uvulae?
- skeletal muscle of the soft palate | - shortens uvula
30
what is the role of the palatorhayngeus?
-elevates pharynx and depresses soft palate
31
what muscles of the soft palate are the blue and orange?
``` blue= palatoglossus orange= musculus uvulae ```
32
what muscle of the soft palate is orange?
palatopharyngeus
33
what muscles of the soft palate are blue and orange?
``` blue= tensor veli palatini orange= levetaro veli palatini ```
34
what muscles of the soft palate are blue, red, green and yellow?
green= musculus uvulae yellow= palatopharyngeus red= tensor veli palatini blue=levator veli palatini
35
what type of tonsils are red, yellow, green and blue?
``` red= pharyngeal tonsils yellow= tubal tonsils green= palatine tonsils blue= lingual tonsils ```
36
where is saliva produced from?
-the major and minor seromucous glands
37
what controls the production of saliva from the major and minor seromucous glands?
parasympathetic nervous system
38
functions of saliva?
- moisten the oral mucosa - moisten food to aid swallowing - provides a medium for dissolved food to chemically stimulate taste buds - initiate digestion of carbohydrates - control bacterial flora through lysozyme activity and immunoglobulin A (IgA)
39
what are the major salivary glands?
- parotid gland - submandibular gland - sublingual gland
40
what contracts to direct a food posto inferiorly towards the oesophagus?
muscles of the phraynx
41
how would you describe the histology of the muscles of the pharynx?
- arranged similar to the smooth muscles of the abdominal GI tract - comprised of longitudinal and circularly orientated muscle fibres
42
what does the outer circular layer of muscles of the pharynx consist of?
- 3 constrictor muscles - skeletal (voluntary) - the sequential contraction of the pharyngeal constrictor muscles, from superior to inferior, forces the bolus of food inferiorly
43
what does the inner longitudinal layer of pharyngeal muscles consist of?
- 3 paired vertical muscles - skeletal (voluntary) - the longitudinal pharyngeal musculature elevates the larynx and shortens the pharynx
44
what are the pharyngeal muscles in red, yellow, green and blue?
``` red= stylopharyngeus yellow= superior pharyngeal constrictor green= middle pharyngeal constrictor blue= inferior pharyngeal constrictor ```
45
what nerves innervate the superior, middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscles and the stylopharyngeus?
superior, middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscles innervated by CN X (vagus) Stylopharyngeus innervated by CN IX (glossopharyngeal nerve)
46
what are the bilateral pairs of longitudinal muscles in the pharynx?
- stylopharyngeus - salpinopharyngeus - palatopharyngeus
47
what are the bilateral pairs of constrictor muscles in the pharynx?
- superior pharyngeal constrictor - middle pharyngeal constrictor - inferior pharyngeal constrictor
48
what is the role of the muscles of the larynx?
- they function to control sphincter mechanism of the true vocal cords - they abduct, adduct, tense and relax vocal cords to allow the passage of air from respiration and acts as a protective mechanism, preventing aspiration of unwanted material
49
what is in the blue and red?
``` blue= thyrohyoid membrane red= cricoathyroid joint ```
50
what is in the blue, red, green and yellow?
``` blue= quadrangular membrane (between vestibular ligament and epiglottis) green= cricoarytenoid joint yellow= conus elasticus (between cricoid and vocal ligament) red= vocal ligament ```
51
what muscle is this?
-cricothyroid muscle
52
what is the role of the cricothyroid muscle?
- tenses vocal ligaments, when tensed it makes voice sound more high pitched (like tuning a guitar) - acts on cricothyroid joint
53
where does the cricothyroid muscle attach?
anterolateral cricoid cartilage to the inferior horn of the thyroid cartilage
54
what is this muscle?
-thyroarytenoid muscle
55
what is the role of the thyroarytenoid muscle?
-relaxes the vocal ligament by acting on the cricoarytenoid joint
56
where does the thyroarytenoid muscle attach to?
posterior thyroid to anterior arytenoid cartilage
57
which are the greater and which are the lesser horns of the hyoid bone?
greater= the ones that are at the top of both sides of the 'u' shape lesser=other ones in the curve of the 'u' shape
58
which bone is the only bone in the human body not directly connected to another bone?
hyoid bone
59
what is the function of the hyoid bone?
-to allow attachments of muscles while maintaining the patency of the airway
60
what are the muscles in blue, red, yellow and green?
``` blue= omohyoid red= sternohyoid green= sternothyroid yellow= thyrohyoid ```
61
what are the muscles in blue, red, yellow and green?
``` blue= stylohyoid yellow= digastric red= geniohyoid green= mylohyoid ```
62
what are labelled blue, red, yellow and green?
``` green= digastric red= mandible yellow= mylohyoid blue= geniohyoid ```
