december formative Flashcards
what passes through the cribriform plate
olfactory nerve fibres
what bony structures does the falx cerebri attach to
crista gali of ethmoid
frontal crest of frontal bone
what are the actions of the rectus abdominis
flex and rotate trunk
control pelvis tilt
what do the extrinsic muscles of the tongue do
change the position
how many facial bones are there
14
what structures pass through the foramen transversium
vertebral arteries
which opening does cranial nerve I pass through
cribriform plate of ethmoid
what features of the large intestine make it distinguishable from the small intestine
omental appendices (small, fatty projections) haustra teniae coli - thick bands of smooth muscle (longitudinal incomplete, circular poke out)
list the 4 supra hyoid muscles
mylohyoid
geniohyoid
digastric
stylohyoid
which type of fibres does the trigeminal VI nerve carry
sensory - cornea, forehead, scalp, eyelids, nose, sinuses
what are the ascending and descending tracts of the white matter in the spinal cord
ascending - sensory
descending - motor
which cranial nerve emerges just above the superior cerebellar artery
CN III - oculomotor
what are paranasal air sinuses
air filled extensions of the respiratory part of the nasal cavity
which cranial nerve innervates hearing and balance
vestibulocochlear
where is the vestibule of the oral cavity
between lips/ cheek and gums/teeth
is there conjunctiva over cornea
no
what causes an indirect inguinal hernia
congenital weakness in the deep inguinal ring allowing abdominal contents to enter canal
which lobe contains the primary sensory cortex
parietal
describe the pathway of the facial nerve
post/medulla junction –> internal acoustic meatus –> facial canal –> stylomastoid foramen
what 3 holes do all neuromuscular structures enter the orbit through
optic foramen
superior orbital fissure
inferior orbital fissure
which muscles in the eye receive parasympathetic innervation from CN III
ciliaris
constrictor pupilae
what is the action of the stapedius
pulls stapedius posteriorly - tightens annular ligaments reducing oscillatory range
from what artery do the vertebral arteries arise from
subclavian
what is the blood supply to the inner and outer layers of the retina
inner - ophthalmic
outer - choroid
