  2. Rima glottidis
  3. Vocal fold
  4. Vestibular fold
  5. Aryepiglottic fold
  6. Cuneiform tubercle
  7. Corniculate tubercle
22
Q
  • Aspiration of Foreign Bodies
A
  • Involves any foreign body entering airway thru laryngeal inlet and trapped in vestibular folds
  • Laryngeal muscles will spasm and prevent air from reaching the lungs
  • Heimlich maneuver-forces air out of lungs and removes foreign body
23
Q
  • Cricothyrotomy
A
  • Typically emergent procedure
  • Needle passes thru cricothyroid membrane
24
Q
  • Tracheostomy
A
  • Involves an incision thru skin, separation of infrahyoid muscles and removal of isthmus of thyroid gland
  • Insert tube in trachea to establish airway
  • performed on 2nd and 3rd tracheal rings
25
Q
  • How does puberty change the larynx?
  • How does aging change the larynx?
A

Males at puberty-laryngeal cartilages will enlarge and grow anteriorly

Aging-ossification of laryngeal cartilages (seen on x rays)

26
Q
  • Laryngeal Cancer
A
  • Common among smokers
  • Laryngectomy and tracheostomy performed during malignant cases
  • Changes in vocalization (ie: esophageal speech)
27
Q
A
  1. Soft Palate
  2. Uvula
  3. Isthmus of Fauces
  4. Palatoglossal Arch
  5. Palatine Tonsil
  6. Palatopharyngeal Arch
  7. Epiglottic Vallecula
  8. Epiglottis
  9. Aryepiglottic Fold
  10. Esophagus
  11. Trachea
28
Q
  • Branchial fistula
A
  • Abnormal patency of remnants of the 2nd Pharyngeal Pouch and 2nd Pharyngeal Groove
  • Results in a canal between the Tonsillar Cleft and side of the Neck.
  • Food leak out of yo neck (ewie)
29
Q
  • Branchial Sinus
A
  • Persistance of embryonic cervical sinus
  • Communicates externally but not internally
  • May exist anywhere on the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid m.
30
Q
  • Branchial Cyst
A
  • Similar to a Branchial Sinus
  • if the embryonic cervical sinus does not communicate externally it exists as a cyst
  • These cysts may result in complicatoins due to their proximity to important structures of the Neck such as the Hypoglossal, Glossopharyngeal and Spinal Accessory nerves
31
Q
  • Tracheoesophageal Fistula
A
  • Esophagus is blind ended pouch
  • Stomach communicates with trachea
  • Blind ended pouch with no tracheal communication
  • Esophagus with communication with trachea distal to epiglottis
32
Q
  • What is deglutination?
A
  • Swallowing
33
Q
  • What are the stages of deglutination
A

Stage 0: Eat and Chew

Stage 1 (Voluntary): Food bolus pushed to back of mouth by pushing tongue against palate

Stage 2 (Involuntary and Rapid): Nasopharynx is sealed off from oropharynx when soft palate is elevated; the pharynx shortens and widens when suprahyoid and longitudinal pharyngeal muscles elevate the larynx

Stage 3 (Involuntary): Pharyngeal constrictor muscles contract sequentially (creating peristaltic ridge forcing food bolus inferiorly); epiglottis deflects bolus but does not completely seal off the larynx and trachea
