Q

Where does the mandibular nerve come out through and divide into?

A

It comes out through the foramen ovale and divides into a small anterior and large posterior part.

  1. The anterior runs foward under the lateral pterygoid and then continues on as the buccal nerve. The anterior division also gives rise to the deep temporal nerves to the temporalis muscle, and the nerves the supply the masseter and the lateral pterygoid muscles.
  2. The posterior division descends and divides into the lingual, inferior alveolar, the nerve to the mylohyoid and auriculotemporal nerve. The lingual descends from under the lateral pterygoid, passing downward and foward to the medial surface of the madible. The lingual nerve is joined by the chorda tympani, also from CN 7. The chorda tympani synapses in the submandibular ganglion to innervate the submandibular and the sublingual glands.

25
Q

What are palatine tonsils and where are they

A

They are paired collections of lymphoid tissue called the palatine tonils lie between the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal folds or arches and guard the entrance into the oropharynx.

26
Q

What is the hard palate:

A

bony anterior two thirds of the palate; formed by the palatal process of the maxilla and horizontal process of the palatine bone

27
Q

What is the soft palate:

A

posterior one thirds of the palate, with muscles the contribute to the soft palate and its movement; closes off the nasopharynx during swallowing.

28
Q

What is the tongue innervated by? What is it composed of?

A

It consist of intrinsic skeletal muscles innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (CN XII).

29
Q

What are the three extrinsic skeletal muscles that originate outside the tongue and insert into it?

A

The genioglossus depresses and protrudes the tongue
The hypoglossus and styloglossus muscles retract the tongue during swallowing
The palatoglossus muscle (elevates tongue) is both a muscle of the tongue and palate, but is grouped with the muscles of the palate because it is innervated by the vagus nerve.

30
Q

Where does the tongue recieve its blood supply from?

A

The ligual artery (external carotid artery) and is innervated by five cranial nerves.

31
Q

What are the five cranial nerves the innervate the tongue?

A
  1. Mandibular: via the ligual nerve; provides general sensation to the anterior two thirds
  2. Facial: via the chorda tympani nerve, which joins the lingual nerve; provides tase on the anterior two thirds.
  3. Glossopharyngeal: general sensation and taste to the posterior third of the tongue.
  4. Vagus: via the internal branch of the superior laryngeal nerve, for general sensation and taste on the base of the tongue at the epiglottic region
  5. Hypoglossal: motor to the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles, except the palatoglossus muscle, which is innervated by the vagus nerve as a muscle of the palette.
32
Q

What are the three pairs of salivary glands innervated by?

A

The parasympathetic nerve fibers from CN VII (submandibular and sublingual glands) and CN IX (parotid gland)

33
Q

Name the parotid gland type and innervation.

A

It is a serous gland innervated by CN IX parasympathetics via the lesser petrosal nerve (CN IX), synapse in otic ganglion, with postganglionics to the gland in the auriculotemporal nerve (branch of CN V3); secretes via parotid duct.

34
Q

Name the submandibular type and innervation.

A

It is a seromucous gland innervated by CN VII parasympathetics via chorda tympani branch of CN VII that joinns the lingual nerve to synapse in the submandibular ganglion (branch of v3); secretess via the submandibular (wharton’s) duct

35
Q

Name the sublingual type and innervation.

A

Largely mucous gland innervated by CN VII parasympathetics coursing similar to those supplying submandibular gland; secretes via small ducts in the sublingual fold.

36
Q

What is the pharynx?

A

It is a fibromuscular tube that connects the nasal and oral cavities of the head with the larynx and esophagus of the neck. It extends from the base of the skull to the cricoid cartilage, where it is continuous with the esophagus.

37
Q

What are the three divisions of the pharynx?

A
  1. The nasopharynx-lies posterior to the nasal cavity above the soft palate.
  2. The oropharynx-from the soft palate to the epiglottis; lies posterior to the oral cavity.
  3. Laryngopharynx-from the epiglottis to the inferior cricoid cartilage; also known as the hypopharynx.
38
Q

What are the muscles of the pharynx. What do they do?

A

The superior, middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictors of the pharynx participate in swallowing and contract serially from superior to inferior to move a bolus of food from the oropharynx and laryngopharynx into the proximal esophagus.

39
Q

What is the blood supply to the pharynx

A

Branches of the thyrocervical trunk (subclavian artery), especially the ascending cervical artery and the external carotid artery (principally its superior thyroid, facial, ascending pharyngeal, and maxillary branches).

40
Q

What is the sensory innervation of the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
What is the motor innervation

A

Nasopharynx- pharyngeal branch of CN V2
Oropharynx- CN IX
Laryngopharynx- CN X
The motor is by CN X, except the stylopharyngeus muscle, which is innervated by CN IX.

41
Q

Describe the gag reflex.

A

Sensation is conveyed by the afferent branches of CN IX, and the soft palate is elevated by the efferent action of the vagus nerve. If food or a foreign object gains access to the vestibule of the larynx, a very powerful gag reflex would be elicited by the vagus nerve in an effort to protect the vocal folds and avoid aspiration into the trachea.

42
Q

What is the larynx

A

A valve that closes the lower respiratory tract and an instrumet used to produce sound (commonly called the voicebox)

43
Q

Two pairs of mucosal folds divide the larynx into three regions, what are they?

A
  1. Supraglottic (vestibule)-above the vestibular folds (false vocal cords)
  2. Glottic (ventricle)- between the vestibular fold and vocal folds (true vocal cords)
  3. Infraglottic (subglottic)-below the vocal folds
44
Q

What is the larynx composed of?

A

cartilages connected by elastic ligaments whose movement affects the tension and position of the vocal ligaments (the vocal ligaments covered by mucosa are called the vocal cord or folds).

45
Q

What are the vocal ligaments covered by mucosa called

A

the vocal ligaments covered by mucosa are called the vocal cord or folds

46
Q

Q

What does the rima glottidis do during quiet respiration?

A

it is open (vocal folds abducted)

49
Q

What does the rima glottidis do during swallowing?

A

it is closed (vocal folds adducted) and the epiglottis swings down to close the laryngeal vestibule

50
Q

What does the rima glottidis do during phonation?

A

It is closed during speech

51
Q

If the airway is blocked what must be done to open the airway?

A

If the airway is blocked (vocal folds are closed), an incision must be made inferior to the vocal folds, usually through the cricothyroid membrane (cricothyrotomy) to establish and airway in an emergent situation.

52
Q

What provides motor and sensory innervation to the larynx?

A

The vagus nerve

53
Q

What are the two branches of the vagus nerve.

A
  1. The superior laryngeal branch is motor to the ccircothyroid and sensory to the mucosa above the vocal folds
  2. The recurrent laryngeal branch is motor to all muscles except the cricothyroid and sensory to the mucosa below the vocal folds.
