25
why do fractures of the dens not reunite
fractures occur at the base, and do not reunite due to the position of the transverse ligament of atlas
26
what forms the cruciform (Cruciate) ligament
transvese ligament of atlas and 2 bands
27
the superior longitudinal band of the cruciform (cruciate) ligament attaches to what
foramen magnum base
28
the inferior longitudinal band of the cruciform (cruciate) ligamnet attaches to what
dens of C2 post
29
orientation of the crura of the cruciform (cruciate) ligament
vertically oriented
30
the bands(crura) of the cruciform ligament with the transverse ligament of the atlas forms what shape
cross
31
what are the alar (Check) ligaments
strong paired ligaments that extend from dens to medial portions of occipital condyles
32
roll of the alar (Check) ligament
check lateral rotation of skull/head
33
travel of the apical ligament of the dens
slender band ascending from apex of dens to attach to anterior margin of foramen magnum
34
location of the apical ligament of the dens
located deep to superior longitudinal band of cruciform ligament
35
where does the internal jugular vein emerge
jugular foramen
36
where does the internal carotid a enter
carotid canal
37
what gives rise to the internal carotid plexus
sympathetic trunk
38
where does CN VII(facial) emerge
stylomastoid foramen
39
what nerves come out of the | jugular foramen
CN IX, X, XI
40
where does CN XII emerge
hypoglossal canal
41
what does the Pharynx hang from
pkharyngeal tubercle
42
location of the carotid sheath to pharynx
lateral and posterolateral to pharynx
43
location of the sympathetic trunk to carotid sheath
posetromedial to carotid sheath
44
how sympathetic get to head
leave T1 to go with carotid plexus. Internal for inside of head and eye and external is go to face
45
what ganglia do CN IX and X give rise to
superior and inferior ganglia within the jugular foramen
46
what gives rise to the superior cervical ganglion and sends off internal carotid plexus to travel on ICA
sympathetic trunk
47
what does the glossopharyngeal N (CN IX) travel with
on the lateral side of stylopharyngeus m between ICA and ECA to innervate it
48
what does the glossopharyngeal N (CN IX) travel to
to the pharynx and back of tongue
49
what does the vagus N (CN X) give off at the base of the skull
pharyngeal N | Superior Laryngeal N
50
where does the Pharyngeal N arise
2 cm inferior to skull base
51
travel of the pharyngeal N
between ICA and ECA to innervate the pharynx
52
where does the superior laryngeal N arise
just below the pharyngeal branch of the vagus.
53
what does the superior laryngeal N innervate
the larynx
54
what forms the pharyngeal plexus of nerves
Pharyngeal branches of CN IX and CN X
55
what does CN IX do for pharyngeal plexus
contributes sensory fibers to plexus
56
what muscle does CN IX innvervate
stylopharyngeus m
57
what does CN X innervate
motor innervation to pharyngeal mm | parasympathetic
58
where does sympathetic innervation come from for the pharyngeal plexus
superior cervical ganglion
59
where does CN XI (accessory N) travel
immediately lateral to CN X at base of skull between ICA and IJV as it descends
60
what does Accessory N (CN XI) innervate
SCM and Trapezius m
61
where does the hypolglossal N (CN XII) leave the skul
hypoglossal canal
62
travel of the Hypoglossal N(CN XII)
runs inferior within submandibular triangle
63
what does the hypoglossal N (CN XII) innervate
mm of tongue
