Q

What is a subdural hemorrhage?

A

Accumulation of blood between dura and arachnoid mater. Acute is life threatening while chronic is less severe. Greatest risk are children(thinner veins) and elderly(longer bridging veins) with brain atrophy.

105
Q

Function of the cricothyroid muscle (can be seen from anterior larynx)

A

Contracts to increase tension of vocal ligament (sing high notes)

106
Q

Q

2 shock abosrbers of the ear are innervated by what nerves?

A

Tensor tympani muscle (trigeminal) and stapedius (facial)

119
Q

What is a cholesteatoma?

A

Accumulation of dead skin starting at pars flaccida due to negative pressure in the inner ear. Can destroy any and all middle ear structures by compression. Lacks proper eustachian tube function and is secondary to middle ear infection

120
Q

Where does new bone formation that fixes the stapes in the oval window happen at?

A

Annular stapedial ligament.

121
Q

What is acoustic neuroma (vestibular Schawnnoma)?

A

Lateral pterygoid (only muscle that opens jaw)

144
Q

Functions of the muscles of mastication?

145
Q

Function of the frenulum of the tongue?

A

Keep tongue anchored

146
Q

What fascial plane of the neck houses the trap and sternocleidomastoid?

A

Investing fascia

147
Q

What fascial plane of the neck houses the trap and sternocleidomastoid?

A

Investing fascia

148
Q

Where to perform a carotid body massage?

A

Massage carotid sinus in carotid triangle.
Surrounded by sternocleidomastoid, posterior belly of digastric, and omohyoid.
By massaging, you increase the pressure within the vessel thus increasing parasympathetic outflow by way of the vagus nerve inducing bradycardia.

149
Q

What runs in front of the anterior scalene muscle? Behind?

A

in front of the anterior scalene muscle? Behind?
Phrenic nerve and subclavian vein.

Brachial plexus and subclavian artery.

150
Q

Boundaries, nerves, and vessels in the posterior triangle

A

Sternocleidomastoid, middle 1/3 of clavicle, and trapezius.

Spinal accessory nerve, phrenic nerve, and brachial plexus.

Subclavian artery and vein.

151
Q

Branches of external carotid artery

A
Superior thyroid
Lingual
Facial
(greater)Occipital
Posterior auricular
Maxillary
Superficial temporal
152
Q

Where is the superior cervical sympathetic ganglion located?

A

High up in the neck a little lower than the skull. Almond shaped.

153
Q

3 muscles of the pharynx, innervations, and functions

A

Stylopharyngeal- CN 9. Lifts pharynx.

Salpingopharyngeal- CN 10. Opens the eustachian tube.

Palatopharyngeal- CN 10. Pulls palate down and pharynx up.

154
Q

Functions of the soft palate

A

Seal off oro and nasopharynx (prevents air out nose) and seal off oral cavity from oropharynx for circular breathing. Also keeps food and water out of nose and middle ear and allows you to play an instrument/blow your nose

155
Q

2 muscles that open the eustachian tube?

A

Salpingophayngeus(10) and tensor veli palatini (V3)

156
Q

Muscle that opens (abducts) the vocal cords?

A

Posterior cricoarytenoid innervated by the recurrent laryngeal nerve

157
Q

High note muscle?

A

Cricothyroid muscle innervated by external branch of superior laryngeal nerve

158
Q

What ossicle is attached to the tympanic membrane?

A

Malleus (other ossicles are incus and stapes)

159
Q

Pathway of tears?

A

Produced by lacrimal gland, drain to lacrimal caruncle, then to lacrimal punctum and lacrimal papilla, then flow down lacrimal canaliculi into lacrimal sac. Drain into the nasolacrimal duct.

160
Q

Origin of splenius capitis and cervicis?

Insertions?

A

Ligamentum nuchae, spinous process of C7-T3 (C7-T6 for cervicis).
