Q

blood supply to tongue?

A

provided via lingual artery (branch of external carotid)

  • dorsal lingual a(posterior tongue/palatine tonsil)
  • sublingual a. (floor of mouth)
  • deep lingual a. (anterior tongue)
25
venous supply to tongue?
- lingual vv. drain tongue and floor of oral cavity directly to IJV - venae comitantes hypoglossi - drain floor of oral cavity and parallel course of hypoglossal n. to end of common facial v.
26
lymphatic drainage of tongue?
posterior 1/3: superior deep cervical lymph nodes bilaterally anterior 2/3: - lateral sides: submandibular nodes ipsilaterally - middle: inferior deep cervical nodes bilaterally - apex: submental nodes (bilaterally)
27
where are tonsils located?
nasopharynx, orpharynx, oral cavity 1. lingual: located deep to mucosa of posterior 1/3 of tongue 2. pharyngeal: located within pharyngeal recess of nasopharynx 3. palatine: located at opening of oropharynx; b/w palatoglossus and palatopharyngeal arches 4. tubal: located at opening of auditory tube
28
Waldeyer's ring
4 groups of lymphoid tissue = pharyneal lymphoid ring * note: lymph nodes can become enlarged and occlude surrounding structures (fauces, opening of auditory tube; naspharynx). - lingual and palatine: occlue fauces - tubal: occlude auditory tube - phrayngeal: occlude nasopharynx
29
adenoids
pharyngeal tonsils are inflamed - can occlude the nasopharynx
30
3 types of salivary glands?
1. Parotid glands (CN IX) 2. Sublingual glands: lie in floor of oral cavity, covered with oral mucosa. forms sublingual fold on floor of mouth and opens into oral cavity via small ducts 3. Submandibular glands: superficial portion lies witin submandibular triangle of neck, deep to mandible. deep portion wraps around posterior border of mylohyoid to pass b/w hyoglossus mm.
31
submandibular duct
"Wharton's duct" courses anteriorly from deep part of gland (between mylohyoid and hyoglossus) to open in floor of mouth on the sublingual caruncle
32
what n. passes near submandibular duct?
lingual n. wraps aroudn the submandibular duct as they course forward
33
PS innervation to parotid gland?
- cell bodies: salivatory nucleus - pre fibers: travel with CN IX (glossopharyngeal n) - CN IX exits jugular foramen and gives tympanic branch which enters middle ear via tympanic canaliculus - travels through middle ear and reforms as lesser petrosal n, which exits middle ear via hiatus for lesser petroslal n. in middle cranial fossa exits via foramen ovale - post bodies: otic ganglion - post fibers: travel with auriculotemporal branch of V3 fn: major secretomotor, gland secretion
34
symp innervation to all three salivatory glands?
pre bodies: T1-4 post bodies: SCG post fibers: travel with external carotid n. to parotid tissue fn: vasomotor
35
which ganglion are post PS cell bodies located in for sublingual and submandibular glands?
submandibular ganglion | - ganglion is suspended from lingual n. within posterior floor of oral cavity.
36
PS innervation of sublingual and submandibular glands?
pre bodies: salivatory nucleus pre fibers: travel with facial n. (CN VII) - CN VII courses along posterior wall of middle ear and gives rise to chorda tympani n. chorda tympani n. exits middle ear through petrotympanic hiatus to enter infratemporal fossa. here chorda tympani joins lingual n. post bodies: submandibular ganglion post fibers: travel with lingual branch of V3 fn: secretomotor, stimulates salivation
37
middle ear infections?
both corda tympani and lesser petrosal n course through middle ear, thus infections can cause dry mouth (xerostomia)
38
boundaries of submandibular region?
inferior: anterior and posterior bellies of digastric m. superior: mandible roof: cervical investing fascia floor: mylohoid m.
39
what are components of submandibular region?
submandibular gland facial a CN XII suprahyoid mm.
40
digastric m.
O: ant belly: digastric fossa of mandible post belly: mastoid notch of temporal bone I: hyoid N: anterior: anterior belly of V3 posterior: cervical branch of facial n. (CN VII) fn: depresses mandible; elevates hyoid
41
stylohyoid
O: styloid process I: hyoid N CN VII fn: elevates and retract hyoid
42
mylohyoid
``` forms floor of oral cavity O: mandible I: midline raphe and hyoid N: mylohyoid branch of V3 fn: elevates hyoid and floor of mouth; assists with opening mouth if hyoid is fixed ```
43
geniohyoid
O: mental spines of mandible I: hyoid bone n: C1 via hypoglossal fn: elevates hyoid; when hyoid is fixed it opens mouth
44
what a. supplies submandibular and oral regions?
lingual a (branch of external carotid a.) - dorsal lingual - sublingual - deep lingual
45
what vv. supply submandibular and oral regions?
``` lingual vv (to IJV) venae comitantes hypoglossi (to common facial v.) ```
46
sublingual abosprtion of drugs
certain drugs such as nitroglycerin (tx of angina) need rapid absorption. because lingual vv. drain directly to IJV, drugs can be placed in sublingual region and are rapidly abosrbed into bloodstream. mucosa is thin here.
47
lingual n. what is its course?
- Branch of V3, enters oral cavity psoteriorly from infratemporal fossa, courses through paralingual space (b/w hyoglossus and mylohyoid mm.) - wraps around submandibular duct in course - pierces tongue laterally
48
what does lingual n. provide? what does it distribute
- branch of V3 - provides GSA to floor of mouth and anterior 2/3 of tongue - distribues: 1. SVA (taste) via chorda tympani 2. GVE-P via chorda tympani
49
chorda tympani n.
- CN VII branch that is given off in middle ear - C.T. exits middle ear via petrotympanic fissure to enter infratemporal fossa - mergest with lingual n (V3) to travel to oral cavity - carries: 1. SVA to anterior 2/3 of tongue 2. GVE-P (PS fibers) to submandibular ganglion to be distributed to submandibular sublingual glands
50
hypoglossal n.
- enters oral cavity from submandibular region - passes laterally to occipital a. and enters paralingual space - provides: 1. GSE: extrinsic tongue mm. (except palatoglossus) 2. GSE: intrinsic mm. of tongue
51
glossopharyngeal n.
- enters oral cavity posteriorly from pharyngeal region - after passing b/w superior and middle constrictor mm, CN IX travels forward to pierce tongue posteriorly - provides: 1. GVA: posterior 1/3 2. SVA: posterior 1/3 of tongue
52
Vagus n.
- internal branch of superior laryngeal n. will enter oral cavity posteriorly from pharyngeal region - after passing in b/w the middle and inferior constrictor mm. the internal laryngeal n. will ascend to supply the epiglottic region of tongue - provides: 1. GVA: epiglottic 2. SVA: epiglottic region of tongue
