GI Flashcards
Describe the anatomy of the TMJ
Articulation between condyle of the mandible and the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone
Articular disc allows a small degree “subblux” for greater movement
Superior cavity for translation
Inferior cavity for rotation
List the muscles of mastication
Temporalis
Masster
Medial pterygoid
Lateral pterygoid
Which of the 4 muscles of mastication is for opening
Lateral pterygoid
Which nerve innervates the muscles of mastication
Mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve
Where does the temporalis muscle span
Coronoid process of mandible to temporal fossa
Where does the masseter muscle span
Angle of mandible to zygomatic arch
Where does the medial pterygoid span
Angle of mandible to pterygoid plate of sphenoid bone
Where does the lateral pterygoid span
Condyle of mandible to pterygoid plate of sphenoid bone
What is the sensory innervation of the oral cavity
Superior half CNV2
Inferior half CNV3
What is the sensory aspect of the gag reflex
CN IX
What is the motor aspect of the gag reflex
CN IX & CN X
Describe the course of the salivary ducts
Parotid: crosses face and secretes into mouth by upper 2nd molar
Submandibular: enters floor of mouth and secretes via lingual caruncle
Sublingual: lays in floor of mouth secretes via several ducts superiorly
What nerve innervated the sublingual salivary gland
CN VII
What nerve innervated the sub mandibular salivary gland
CN VII
What nerve innervates the paratoid salivary gland
CN IX
List the extrinsic muscles of the tongue
Genioglossus
Hypoiglossus
Styloglossus
Paloatoglossus
What is the innervation of the genioglossus
CN XII
What is the innervation of the hypoiglossus
CN XII
What is the innervation of the styloglossus
CN XII
What is the innervation of the palatoglossus
CN X
What is the funciton of the extrinsic muscles of the tongue
To change the position of the tongue during: mastication, swallowing and speech
What is the funciton of the intrinsic muscles of the tongue
Modify the shape of the tongue during its functions
What is the innervation of the circular muscle of the pharynx
CN X
Explain the musculature of the pharynx
3 circular skeletal constrictor muscles that insert to the midline raphe
External layer overlap each other and contract sequentially
3 longitudinal skeletal muscles form the inner layer
Attach to larynx and contract to shorten the pharynx
What is the innervation of the longitudinal muscle of the pharynx
CN IX & CN X
Explain the process of swallowing
The lips are closed to prevent drooling (orbicularis oris, CN VII)
The tongue pushes the bolus posteriorly (CN XII)
Sequential contraction of the circualr muscles of the pharynx (CN X) pushes the bolus to the oesophagus
The inner longitudinal layers contract (CN IX, CN X) to raise the larynx to close off the laryngeal inlet
The food reaches the oesophagus
Describe the route of the oesophagus
Starts from the cricopharyngeus muscle at the level of C6
Posterior to trachea and anterior to the vertebral bodies at rib 1
In chest posterior to heart (contact with left atrium)
In abdomen through diaphragm at T10 where it connects to the stomach immediately at the cardia
State the major features of the oesophagus
Anatomical upper sphincter (criocopharyngeus)
Physiological lower oesophageal sphincter
Oesophageal plexus runs on the surface to supply the smooth muscle
State the major observation of the oesophagus on Ba swallow
Cervical constriction - Cricopharyngeus muscle Thoracic constriction (s) - Arch of the aorta - Left main bronchus Diaphragmatic constriction - Result of passing through hiatus of the diaphragm (T10)
What is the Z-line
The differentiation between the stomach endothelium and that of the oesophagus
State the areas of the stomach
Cardia, immediately after the oesophageal entrance
Fundus, superior part of the stomach
Body, major section
Pyloric antrum, final section just proximal to pyloric sphincter
Where in the abdomen does the stomach lie
Left hypochondrium, epigastric and umbilical region
What is posterior to the stomach
Spleen, left kidney, splenic artery, pancreas
What is lateral to the stomch
Left side: body wall
Right side: liver, gallbladder
What are the areas of the mouth (dentistry)
Upper and lower left and right dental arches
How are teeth numbered
1 to 8 from medial to lateral
What numbers are the incisors
1 & 2
What numbers are the canines
3
What numbers are the premolars
4 & 5
What numbers are the molars
6 to 8
8 is the wisdom tooth
What are the components of the foregut
Oesophagus to mid duodenum
Liver + gall bladder
Spleen
1/2 of the pancreas
What are the components of the mid gut
Mid duodenum to proximal 2/3 of the transverse colon
1/2 of the pancreas
What are the components of the hindgut
Distal 1/3 of the transverse colon to the proximal 1/2 of the anal canal
What are the order of the large intestine segments
Caecum (appendix), ascending colon (hepatic flexure), transverse colon (splenic flexure), descending colon and sigmoid colon
What is an intraperitoneal organ
Almost completely covered in visceral peritoneum and has minimal mobility
What are organs with a messentary
A double folding of the peritoneum internationally to allow mobility
