Clinical Relevance Flashcards
Psudobupbar Paulsy
Upper motor lesion that does not cause complete paralysis on the ipsilateral side as there is back up contra lateral control (every cranial nerve except lower facial nucleus and hypoglossal)
Two types of emergency airways
Cricothyrotomy and tracheostomy
Lymph node enlargement indications of where infection is
Mental notes - lower lip, incisal tooth area and anterior tongue
Parotid nodes - side of face
Posterior auricular nodes - ear infection
Submandibular nodes - oral cavity, nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, superficial features of face
Many nodes - systemic, maybe malignancy
TMJ Dislocation
Anterior - in depression, over articulate tubercle
Posterior - unlikely as intrinsic lateral ligament and postglenoid tubercle
Temporalis
- lift and retract mandible (inferior posterior fibres)
- insert = Coronoid and anterior ramus
Masseter
Origin - maxilliary part of zygomatic arch (deep head) and anterior 2/3 border of zygomatic arch (superficial head)
Inset - angle and lateral surface of mandible (superficial head)
Action - elevates
Medial Pterygoid
Deep head
- origin - medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate
- insert - medial angle of mandible and ramus
Superficial head
Origin - maxillary tuberosity and pyramidal process of palatine bone
Insert - medial angle of mandible and ramus
Action - elevation and lateral movement
Trismus?
Cant open mouth wide as muscle seized if pierced by needle
Lateral pterygoid
Upper head
Origin - infratemporal surface of greater wing of sphenoid
Insert - capsule of TMJ and articulate disk)
Superficial head
Origin - lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate
Insert - same
Action - protrude mandible, assists medial pterygoid with lateral movement and depresses mandible
Ludwig’s angina
If infection in the mouth spreads bellow mylohyoid line into floor of mouth and neck
What nerve supplies sensation to the angle of the mandible
Great auricular nerve
Oral mucosa epithelium
Stratified squamous
Nasopharynx and nasal cavity epithelium
Psudostratified columnar ciliated with goblet cells
Oropharynx epithelium
Stratified squamous epithelium
Laryngopharynx epithelium
Stratified squamous epithelium
Larynx epithelium
Psudostratified columnar with goblet cells
Also transitional area of stratified columnar
What structures in the head and neck has stratified squamous epithelium
Oral cavity, oropharynx, laryngopharynx
What structures of the neck have Psudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium with goblet cells
Respiratory epithelium - Nasal cavity, nasopharynx and larynx
Deviated septum
Birth defect or commonly injury
- harder to nose breath and snoring caused
Types of deafness
Conductive
- caused by chronic otis medial damaging ossicles
Neural
- issue with cochlea or Cochlea nerve
Process off of ethmoidal second concha
Ucinate process
Post ganglionic fibres of sympathetic and parasympathetic
Sympathetic - vasomotor (vasoconstriction)
Parasympathetic - secretomotor
Why are nose bleeds so common
Due to anastomosing of so many vessels
Two outcomes of thrombosis in the cavernous sinus
- Bacterial infection
- Due to bacteria can cause a clot that goes upward
Why is there referred pain from the teeth to the maxillary sinus?
As they are both supplied by the superior alveolar nerve
What is the white matter in the brain before the internal capsule called
Corona radata
