H&N booklet 2 Flashcards
What are the muscles of mastication?
Temporalis
Masseter
Medial Pterygoid
Lateral Pterygoid
What are the bony attachments of the temporalis muscle?
Temporal fossa
Coronoid process of mandible
What action do the anterior fibres have on the mandible?
Protraction
What action do the posterior fibres have on the mandible?
Elevation + retraction
What are the bony attachments of the masseter?
Zygomatic arch
Outer surface of the ramus and coronoid process of mandible
What is the action of the masseter?
Primary muscle of jaw closure (elevation)
Where do the pterygoid muscles attach?
Lateral pterygoid plate
>Medial is on medial surface
>Lateral on lateral surface
Where does the lateral pterygoid muscle attach to?
TMJ
Lateral surface of the lateral pterygoid plate
Where does the medial pterygoid muscle attach to?
Angle of mandible
Medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate
What are the actions of the pterygoid muscles?
1) Lateral together
2) medial together
3) One medial and one lateral (on same side)
1) Protraction of mandible
2) elevation of mandible
3) Contralateral contraction
What muscles cause depression of the mandible?
Surpahyoid muscles >Digastric >Mylohyoid >Stylohyoid Gravity
What muscles cause elevation of the mandible?
Masseter
Temproalis - anterior fibres
Medial pterygoids together
What causes protrusion of the mandible?
Lateral pterygoids
What causes retration of the pterygoids?
Temporalis - posterior fibres
what causes side to side movements of the mandible?
Medial pterygoids
What nerve innervated the muscles of mastication?
Trigeminal nerve - mandibular division: CN V3
What are the functions of the nose?
Traps dirt
Warms air
Sinus/eye secretion
Olfaction
Which bones do the nasal bones articulate with?
Frontal bone - superior
Maxilla - frontal process - laterally
Ethmoid - posterior
What bones make up the roof of he nose?
Nasal
Frontal bone
Ethmoid bone
Body of spheniod bone
What makes up the floor of the nasal cavity?
Palatine processes of maxilla
Palatine bones
>Form hard palate
Extended posteriorly by sft palate
What bones make up the nasal septum?
Vomer
Perpindicular plate of the ethmoid bone
How can nasal deviation affect a patient?
Might be unable to drain paranasal air sinuses effectively
May lose smell
What are the parts of the ethmoid bone?
Cribriform plate Crista gali Central plate Superior + middle conchae Ethmoid air cells
What passes through the cribriform plate?
Olfactory nerve
What attaches to the crista gali?
Olfactory bulbs
Falx cerebri
What type of epithelium forms the respiratory mucosa of the nasal cavity?
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar
Olfactory mucosa for roof
What is the name of the space above the superior conchae?
sphenoethmoidal recess
What are the spaces beneath the conchae called?
Meatuses
What is the other name for a conchae?
Turbinate - when lined with epithelium
What bones do the conchae arise from?
Inferior is its own bone
Middle + superior from ethmoid bone
What are the paranasal air sinuses?
Air filled extensions of the respiratory tract
What are the functions of the paranasal air sinuses?
Regulation of gas pressure
Increased resonance of voice
Decreased relative weight of skull
