H&N Glandular Tissue/Lymphatics Flashcards
3/6/14
t/f:
the retropharyngeal lymph nodes drain the pharynx, palate, paranasal sinuses, and the nasal cavity. all of these deep nodes of the head drain into the superior deep cervical lymph nodes of the neck
true
dental professional must be thoroughly familiar w/ surface anatomy of h&n to examine pts b/c features of the surface provide essential landmarks for many deep anatomical structures
t/f? correct? related?
both statement and reason are correct and related
secretions of salivary glands are controlled by
autonomic nervous system (parasympathetic)
parotid salivary gland opens into oral cavity
opposite 2nd max molar
t/f:
lymphatic’s are portion of immune system, and help to fight disease processes. another component of the lymphatic system is the thymus gland b/c works within immune system
first true; second false
glands of von ebner
are serous salivary glands
are minor salivary glands
wash the taste buds
(all of above)
parotid salivary gland is
serous
t/f:
thyroid gland produces thyroxine, which it secretes directly into blood. thyroxine is a hormone that stimulates the metabolic rate
both statements true
sublingual salivary glands are
mostly mucous
salivary gland opens into mouth w/ most ducts
sublingual
accumulation of food in left vestibule might suggest malfunction of which muscle
buccinator
glands are a type of
epithelial tissue
gland located on surface of masseter muscle behind ramus of mandible and on medial side of ramus
parotid
duct of gland opens opposite max 2nd molar
parotid
majority of salivary secretions comes from the
submandibular gland
the sub maxillary gland is a
mixed gland
cluster of lymph nodes along the drainage route for almost all mand post teeth?
submandibular
parotid gland supplied by nerve from the
octic ganglion
type of lymphatic vessel in which lymph flows into lymph node called
afferent vessel
t/f:
lymphatics of right side of h&n converge by way of the right jugular trunk. then these lymphatics join the lymphatics from the right arm and thorax to form thoracic duct
first true; second false
lymph node drains lymph from particular region is
primary node
primary and secondary nodes that drain buccal mucosal tissues
buccal and mandibular; submandibular
max ant. teeth and assco tissues drained into the
submandibular nodes
structures found in pterygomandibular space?
inferior alveolar nerve
inferior alveolar artery
sphenomandibular ligament
palatine tonsils and lingual tonsils drained into the
superior deep cervical
secondary node for base of tongue drain into the
inferior deep cervical nodes
mand 1st and 2nd molars drained into the
submandibular
upper lip drained into the
submandibular nodes
pharyngeal tonsils drain into the
superior deep cervical nodes
secondary nodes of the deep parotid nodes are
inferior deep cervical nodes
nodes located in infraorbital region called
malar nodes
mand incisors and assoc tissues drain into
submental lymph nodes
secondary node for posterior hard palate
inferior deep cervical
max 3rd molars drain into the ___ lymph nodes
superior deep cervical
jugulo-omohyoid lymph node is a prominent node of the
inferior deep cervicals
