25
Q

What procedures may require blocking the infraorbital (maxillary) nerve?

A

Minor procedures in the upper lip, canines and incisors teeth as it emerges from the infraorbital foramen

26
Q

What procedures may require blocking the mental (mandibular/ inferioralveolar) nerve?

A

27
Q

What are the structures of the tongue?

A

Root, body, apex
Mechanical papillae; filiform/ conical
Fungiform, vallate and foliate (taste buds)
Lyssa on the ventral surface

28
Q

Extrinsic muscles of the tongue?

A

Geniohyoideus
Styloglossus
Hypoglossus
Genioglossus
Moves the tongue and innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (C12)

29
Q

Intrinsic muscles of the tongue

A

Runs longitudinally, transversely and vertically
Stiffen the tongue

30
Q

Hypoglossal nerve injury

A

Paralysis of extrinsic and Ipsilateral muscles
Inability to protrude tongue
Tongue deviates towards the injured side

31
Q

A

Pterygopharyngeus
Palatopharyngeus
Hyopharyngeus
Thyropharyngeus
Cricopharyngeus

32
Q

What is the pharynx dilator?

A

Stylopharyngeus

33
Q

Larynx

A

Voice box and prevents food from getting into the trachea
Innervated by the recurrent laryngeal nerve

34
Q

Laryngeal vestibule

A

Extends from the entrance to the vocal fold

35
Q

Glottic Cleft

A

Rima glottidis
Space between the vocal fold and the arytenoid cartilage

36
Q

What forms the glottis?

A

vestibule and glottic cleft

37
Q

What are the constrictors of the larynx?

A

Thyroarytenoideus
Cricoarytenoideus lateralis

38
Q

40
Q

What is the Cricothryroideus m. innervated by?

A

Cranial laryngeal n.

41
Q

Laryngeal Hemiplegia

A

Paralysis of the cricoarytenoideus dorsalis m.
Leads to laxity in the vocal fold, narrower glottis and obstructed airways

42
Q

Epiglottic Entrapment

A

Brachycephalic airways syndrome in obsese large dogs
Redundant mucous membrane tightens during swallowing, keeping the epiglottis permanently covered (entrapped) by the aryepiglottic fold

43
Q

Treatment for epiglottic entrapment

A

Through the axial transection of aryepiglottic fold using bistoury

44
Q

Where do the lymph nodes drain into?

A

Into the medial retropharyngeal LN that drains into the tracheal duct
