165
Q

Branches of the hypoglossal

A

Meningeal branches
Superior root of the Ansa Cervicalis
Nerves to Thyrohyoid and Geniohyoid
Lingual branches

166
Q

Meningeal branch of the hypoglossal

A

Sensory to the dura mater

167
Q

Superior root of the Ansa Cervicalis branch of the hypoglossal

A

Motor to the infrahyoid muscles (sternohyoid, sternothyroid, omohyoid)

168
Q

Nerves to thyrohyoid and geniohyoid of the hypoglossal nerve

A

Consist of C1 fibers. Motor to the thyrohyoid and geniorhyoid

169
Q

Lingual branches of the hypoglossal nerve

A

Motor to the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue

170
Q

Cervical sympathetic ganglia

A
  1. Superior Cervical Ganglion
  2. Middle Cervical Ganglion
  3. Vertebral Ganglion
  4. Cervicothoracic (Stellate) Ganglion
171
Q

Superior Cervical Ganglion

A

Lies at level of C1-3 and branches into:

  1. Internal Carotid Nerve- accompanies the internal carotid artery into the skull
  2. Superior CervicalCardiac Nerve- to the cardiac plexus
  3. Branches to the pharyngeal plexus
172
Q

Middle Cervical Cardiac Nerve

A

Lies at C6 and branches to the cardio plexus

173
Q

Vertebral Ganglion

A

Lies at C7 and gives off a branch to the plexus along the vertebral artery

174
Q

Cervicothoracic (Stellate) Ganglion

A

Formed by the fusion of the inferior cervical ganglion to the first thoracic ganglion.

Lies at C7-T1 and branches to the inferior cervical cardiac nerve of the cardiac plexus

175
Q

Ansa Subclavia

A

A nerve bundle which loops anterior to the subclavian artery, connection the vertebral ganglion to the cervicothoracic ganglion

176
Q

Submandibular gland

A

One of 3 paired salivary glands. Consists of 2 parts: Superficial part and deep part

177
Q

Superficial Part of the Submandibular gland

A

Larger part and lies within the submandibulaar triangle and in the submandibular fossa.

178
Q

Deep part of the Submandibular Gland

A

Small and liessuperior to the mylohyoid muscle. 5 cm long and opens into the oral cavity on the sublingual caruncle

179
Q

Submandibular gland innervation

A

Parasympathetic fibers from the facial nerve via the submandibular ganglion

180
Q

Sublingual gland

A

Smallest of the 3 major salivary glands. Lies superior to the mylohyoid in the sublingual fossa. Empties into the floor of the mouth by 12 short ducts along the sublingual fold

181
Q

Sublingual gland innervation

A

Parasympathetic fibers from the facial nerve (CN VII) via the submandibular ganglion
