Exam 3: Eye, Ear, Etc lecture iv and Neck lecture Flashcards
middle ear’s air-filled cavity, the _ cavity, is w/in the temporal bone
tympanic cavity
the tympanic cavity, the _ tube opens into the cavity
pharyngotympanic tube
some middle ear contents (we are learning 3)
- auditory ossicles
- chorda tympani nerve
- two skeletal muscles: tensor tympani and stapedius
the malleus is attached to the _ membrane
auditory ossicle; tympanic membrane
the incus and stapes are attached to the
auditory ossicles; oval window
the chorda tympani is a branch of the _ nerve (and CN #)
facial nerve (CN VII)
the tensor tympani runs from bone and wall of pharyngotympanic tube to the _
malleus
the tensor tympani, it tenses the the tympanic membrane and dampens movements of the ossicles, which help with
preventing loud sounds from damaging the internal ear
the stapedius runs from wall of tympanic cavity to _
stapes
the stapedius dampens movements of the
stapes
the hyoid bone contains a _, two _ and two _
a body, two greater horns, and two lesser horns
the hyoid bone makes _ with any other bone
no joints
the hyoid bone is suspended, inferior to the mandible, from the styloid processes of the temporal bones by the _
stylohyoid ligaments
the hyoid bone provides a _ for the tongue
movable base
the hyoid bone serves as a _ to help keep the airway open, and is required for _
a prop; required for swallowing
sternocleidomastoid: origin
from mastoid process and superior nuchal line (ie skull)
sternocleidomastoid: insertions (a 2 headed muscle)
- to manubrium of sternum (sternal head of muscle)
2. medial third of clavicle (clavicular head of muscle)
sternocleidomastoid: innervation (and CN #)
spinal accessory nerve (CN XI)
sternocleidomastoid: produces multiple movements of _ and _
produces multiple movements of the head and neck
sternocleidomastoid (SCM): action includes either head extension or head flexion via _
bilateral contraction of both SCMs
sternocleidomastoid (SCM): action includes assisting in _ during breathing via bilateral contraction of both SCMs
rib cage expansion
sternocleidomastoid (SCM): action includes laterally flexing the head (bending it sideways) and rotating head so chin rotates toward the contralateral (opposite) side via
unilateral contraction of one SCM
arteries in anterior cervical and SCM regions: brachiocephalic trunk: ascends from from the
arch of the aorta (1st branch off the aorta)
arteries in anterior cervical and SCM regions: brachiocephalic trunk: bifurcates into the
right common carotid (supplies head and neck) artery and right subclavian artery (supply limbs)
