A

all hypoglossal

BUT palatoglossus -Vagus nerve

17
Q

What is the structure of the soft palate?

A

extends down to form the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches (either side of hole at back)
, as well as the uvula
forms the oropharyngeal isthmus

A

anterolateral tongue

21
Q

Where would you find the filiform papillae?

A

medial tongue

22
Q

Where would you find the vallate papillae?

A

rear tongue

23
Q

What provides the anterior 2/3 of the tongue with sensory innervation?

A

(general) lingual branch of mandibular trigeminal nerve

(special) chorda tympani of facial nerve

24
Q

What provides the posterior 1/3 of the tongue with sensory innervation?

A

(special AND general)

Glossopharyngeal nerve

25
Q

Name the 5 muscles of the soft palate

A
tensor veli palatini
palatoglossus
palatopharyngeal
levator veli palatini
musculus uvalae
26
Q

What innervates the muscles of the soft palate?

A

Vagus nerve

BUT the tensor veli palatini (Mandibular trigeminal nerve)

27

A

tensor veli palatini
palatoglossus
levator veli palatini

28
Q

Which muscle of the soft palate is used in breathing?

A

palatopharyngeal

29
Q

Which soft palate muscle controls the uvula?

A

Musculus uvalae

30
Q

Which bones form the hard palate?

A

palatine process of maxilla

horizontal plate of palatine bone

31
Q

What are the 3 groups of tonsils?

A

lingual
palatine
pharyngeal

32
Q

What are all the tonsils supplied by?

A

pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve

33
Q

Where are the 3 perforations in the diaphragm?

A

T8 - inferior vena cava and right phrenic nerve
T10 - oesophagus, right and left Vagus, left gastric artery
T12 - aorta, thoracic duct, branch of left gastric artery

34
Q

What structure at T8 helps limit GORD?

A

The cardiac sphincter (diaphragmatic structure), between the oesophagus and the stomach

35
Q

Where are the 3 constriction points in the oesophagus?

A

cervical - cricoid cartilage
thoracic - aortic arch
abdominal - oesophageal hiatus

36
Q

What supplies and drains the oesophagus?

inferior phrenic arteries (mostly)
superior phrenic
pericardiophrenic
musculophrenic
(corresponding veins)

A

coeliac artery

anastosomes form along the
lesser curvature (right and left gatric arteries)
greater curvature (right and left gastro-omental arteries)
38
Q

What is between the stomach and duodenum?

A

pylorus
