equine head and neck Flashcards
Motor innervation to the face
CN VII - facial
Sensory innervation to the head
CN V - trigeminal (V1, V2, V3)
where to take the pulse in equine head?
facial artery
THE GUTTURAL POUCHES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
Internal Carotid, External Carotid, & Maxillary Arteries
what cranial nerves are associated with the guttral pouches?
Cranial Nerves IX, X, XI and XII
The function of Viborg’s triangle:
a place for the surgical incision to locate and open an infected diverticulum of the auditory tube (AKA GUTTRAL POUCH)
in the horse the frontal sinus drains into ????, not directly into the nasal cavity.
the caudal maxillary sinus
CN VII (Hypoglossal) supplies what?
Rrostal 2/3rd of the tongue
The parotid gland occupies what space?
It occupies the space between the caudal border of the mandible, the wing of the atlas, and the base of the ear, and ventrally it extends to
the linguofacial vein
What blood supplies accompanies the parotod duct
facial artery and facial vein
Where does the parotod duct drain into?
duct opens into the oral vestibule opposite of the 2nd or 3rd upper check tooth
Where does the mandibular duct drain in to?
passes onto the deep surface of the mylohyoideus where it follows the medial aspect of the sublingual gland to the sublingual caruncle on the floor of the mouth a few cm caudal to the incisors.
Muscles of mastication are innverated by what CN?
Mandibular (V3)
what includes the muscles mastication?
pterygoideus mm, massester, temporalis
Muscles of mastication are innverated by what CN?
Mandibular (V3) motor branch
Digastricus receives innervation from what CN?
Facial nerve
Swallowing mechanism in horses:
In swallowing the epiglottis, sliding out from the intrapharyngeal ostium, by its retroflexion closes the entrance to the larynx. By elevating the dorsum of the tongue, the bolus passes across the laryngeal entrance into the esophagus. A false passage into the nasal pharynx is prevented by elevation of the soft palate.
Swallowing mechanism in horses:
In swallowing, the bolus of food in the oral cavity, the bolus pushes the soft palate up, pushes the epiglottis back, runs along the rostal border of epiglottis to get injected into the esophagus, sliding out from the intrapharyngeal ostium, by its retroflexion closes the entrance to the larynx. By elevating the dorsum of the tongue, the bolus passes across the laryngeal entrance into the esophagus. A false passage into the nasal pharynx is prevented by elevation of the soft palate.
Damage to cranial nerve ____ results additionally in partial loss of the sensory and motor functions of the pharynx.
CN X - VAGUS
If the ____ cranial nerve is paralyzed, the lingual muscles are involved. The tongue droops from the mouth and cannot be retracted into the oral cavity.
XII - hypoglossal
Viborg’s triangle location (borders)
Its borders are dorsally the tendon of the sternomandibular muscle (sternocephalicus muscle), rostrally the cervical border of the mandible and ventrally the linguofacial vein.

CN XII function:
It supplies the motor innervation to all extrinsic and instrinsic muscles of the tongue
masseter, pterygoid, and temporalis muscles, and rostral part of the digastric muscle are innverated by which CN?
CN V - MANDIBULAR BRANCH
safe entry into the maxillary sinus
-line from facial crest to the medial canthus of the eye for safe entry into maxillary sinuses
safe entry into the maxillary sinus to avoid infraorbital nerve
- apex of the nasoincisive notch –> line from facial crest –> medial canthus of the eye for safe entry into maxillary sinuses (use the straight line as your dorsal border)
What two structures are you trying to avoid when trying to access the maxillary sinus?
the nasolacrimal duct and the infraorbital nerve
What are the dorsal boundaries of the guttural pouches?
base of the skull and atlas.
