28
Q

Amaurosis fugax

A

Central retinal artery occluded due to transient causes - painless temporary loss of vision in effected eye

29
Q

Papilloedema

A

Raised intracranial pressure transmitted along meninges and subarachnoid space of optic nerve - slowing drainage of central retinal vein = swelling of disk of eye

30
Q

32
Q

Circle of Willis

A

Brain blood supply

33
Q

Epithelium of the ear

A

Statified squamous
- ceruminous glands (modified sweat glands) secrete ear wax

34
Q

What is used to inspect the ear

A

Otoscope

35
Q

Muscles of the ear

A

To protect ear from sound

Tensor tympani - attaches to handle of medius and pulls medially - tenses tympani membrane resisting vibrations
- innervation - facial nerve

Stapedius - attaches to stapes to reduce amplitude of vibrations
- innervation - mandibular division of trigeminal

36
Q

Action of the ossicles

A

Increase force and decrease amplitude of noised captured by tympanic membrane

37
Q

How is there a risk of cranial infection from an ear infection

A

As the roof of the middle ear is very thin and the internal carotid and internal jugular are in close proximity to this wall so if infection passes this bone then it can have systemic effect

38
Q

Mastoiditis

A

Infection of ear spreads to mastoid air cells

39
Q

What is glue ear another name for

A

Serous ottic media

40
Q

A
  1. Cuneiform
  2. Triticeal cartilage
46
Q

Name of gap between vocal folds

49
Q

What (tensor) muscles stretch the vocal folds to make higher pitched sounds

A

Cricothyroid muscles

  • pulls thyroid cartilage
50
Q

What (relaxer) muscle causes less tension on the vocal folds for a lower pitched sound

A

Thyro-arytenoid muscles

  • as pulls Arytenoids anterior
51
Q

Rope of the different muscles of the larynx for swallowing

A
  1. Oblique arytenoids - aryepiglotic folds brought together
  2. Extrinsic muscles - elevate larynx (closes laryngeal inlet)

Q

Innervation of intrinsic laryngeal muscles

A

Recurrent laryngeal (except cricothyroid - EXTERNAL superior laryngeal nerve directly)
