Extrinsic muscles of the tongue help in … functions

80
Q

81
Q

Name these muscles of the tongue

A
  1. Palatoglossus
  2. Styloglossus
  3. Hyoglossus
  4. Genioglossus
82
Q

The … originates in the mental spines and inserts in the hyoid bone and its tendon.

GENIOGLOSSUS

83
Q

The … muscle originates at the styloid process and is responsible for bending the tongue (making a concave shape with it)

A

STYLOGLOSSUS

84
Q

Muscle that extends from the hyoid bone. It elevates it for deglutition and despresses the root of the tongue.

A

HYOGLOSSUS

85
Q

Muscle that originates at the soft palate and ends in the posterior aspect of the tongue. When it contracts, it blocks the passage between the oropharynx and oral cavity.

A

PALATOGLOSSUS

86
Q

Name the following structure:

A

PALATOGLOSSAL ARCH
Palatoglossus is covered by oral mucosa, so in the oral cavity all we see is its impression on said mucosa: the PALATOGLOSSAL ARCH

87
Q

Name the intrinsic muscles of the tongue

88
Q

The geniohyoid is strictly a muscle of the tongue (T/F)

A

FALSE
It aids in performing deglutory functions as it elevates the hyoid bone. However, it is not a tongue muscle as it is not innervated by the hypoglossal (XII) nerve. It is innervated by the C1 branch.

89
Q

The geniohyoid is innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (T/F)

A

False
It is innervated by the C1 branch.

90
Q

TRAJECTORY HYPOGLOSSAL NERVE (XII)
It turns around the … artery, and the passes superficial to the …. artery. It then goes deep to the … muscle and …. muscle. It finally goes superficial to the … muscle.

A

OCCIPITAL, EXTERNAL CAROTID, STYLOHYOID, POSTERIOR BELLY OF THE DIGASTRIC, HYOGLOSSUS.

91
Q

A branch of … incorporates to hypoglossal nerve and courses with it forming the Asa … This branch then detaches and innervates the geniohyoid and prethyroid musculature.

A

C1, CERICALIS

92
Q

A distal lesion of the Hypoglossal nerve is done during neck surgery. Even though Hypoglossal nerve does not innervate them, could the Geniohyoid and thyroid musculature be affected?

A

Yes. C1 fibers which innervate those muscles course with the hypoglossal nerve in the distal region.

93
Q

Lingual artery comes from…

A

External carotid artery

94
Q

Lingual veins come from the…

A

Internal jugular vein

95
Q

… nerve and … vein pass superficial to hyoglossus, however … artery and … vein pass deep to hyoglossus.

A

HYPOGLOSSAL AND DEEP LINGUAL, LINGUA AND DORSAL LINGUAL

96
Q

If a patient has a lesion in the hypoglossal on one side. What would happen?

A

As the muscles are bilateral, there would be a partial paralysis of the tongue (hemiparalysis). The tongue will deviate towards the lesion side as the Genioglossus won’t be able to perform sticking out of the tongue.

97
Q

A lesion to the recurrent laryngeal nerve would affect the cricothyroid joint?

A

No, as the cricothyroid muscle is the only muscle in the larynx innervated by the SUPERIOR LARYNGEAL NERVE (and not the recurrent).

98
Q

Taste info from the beginning of the pharynx/any taste info past to the posterior 1/3 of the tongue is conveyed by the … nerve
