Ch. 45 Pharynx Flashcards
Where does the nasopharynx attach
Pterygoid, palatine, and hyoid bones and
Laryngeal, cricoid and thyroid cartilages
How does the basihyoid movement affect the pharynx
Ventral displacement increases nasopharyngeal size and stability by increasing the diameter of decreasing the compliance of the nasopharynx
Which are the intrinsic and extrinsic mm of the pharynx
Intrinsic - Mm of soft palate and nasopharynx
Palatinus and palatopharyngeus mm
Extrinsic - Mm of the larynx and hyoid apparatus
What is the palatine aponeurosis formed by
Expansion of the tendon of the tensor veil palatini muscle
Which 4 muscles are responsible for the position of the soft palate
Tensor veli palatini
Levator veli palatini
Palatinus
Palatopharyngeus
Innervation of the mm of the soft palate
Tensor veli palatini - Mandibula r branch of Trigeminal n.
Levator, palatinus, palatopharyngeus - Pharyngeal branch of Vagal n.
Function o the palatinus and palatopharyngeus mm
Shorten the soft palate and depress it toward the tongue
Muscles originating at the palatine aponeurosus
Palatinus
Palatopharyngeus
Tensor veli palatini
Which part of the stylopharyngeus dilates the pharynx and which is not stimulated during exercise
Rostral unstimulated
Caudal - pharyngeal dilator
O: Stylohyoid caudal third
I: Dorsal wall of pharynx
N: Glossopharyngeus
A: Tension on roof of nasopharynx - prevents collapse on insp
Levator palatini m
O: Temporal bone, m process of petrous part & auditory tube
I: Within soft palate
N. pharyngealbr of vagus n.
A. Elevates during swallow
closes nasopharynx
facilitates oral ventilation
Palatinus mm
O: Aponeurosis
I: Free margin of soft palate
N: Pharyngeal b of Vagus n.
A. Shorten sp and depress it toward tongue
Palatopharyngeus m
O: Aponeurosis & palatine and pterygoid bones
I: Thyroid cartilage upper edge & median fibrous raphe
N. Pharyngeal b of vagus n.
A. Shorten sp and depress it toward tongue
Blood supply and drainage of soft palate
Linguofacial trunk and maxillary artery
Lymphatic drainage to retropharyngeal ln
How do the extrinsic mm contribute to the patency off the nasopharynx
Increase its diameter by change in size of the oropharynx or position of the larynx
Increase stability of SP at exercise
What are the extrinsic mm of the pharynx
- Geniohyoideus
- Genioglossus
- Thyrohyoideus
- Hyoglossus
- Hyoepiglotticus
- Styloglossus
- Sternohyoideus
- Sternothyroideus
