Medial pterygoid muscle to medial surface

Lateral pterygoid muscle to lateral surface

100
Q

Why are neonatal skulls less rigid and more flexible than adult skulls?

A

They are not fully ossified

101
Q

What are some advantages of neonates having a flexible skull?

A

During childbirth allows for squeezing out

During infancy allows for brain growth

In the event of accidents and falls protects the brain

102
Q

What type of ossification occurs in the:

  • flat bones of the vault of the skull
  • irregular bones of the base of the skull

in neonates?

A

Flat bones - intramembraneous

Irregular bones - intramembraneous

103

  • dentition
  • tympanic membrane
  • styloid and mastoid processes of temporal bone?
A

Fontanelles - harden and close over time

Dentition - children have 20, adults have 32

Tympanic membrane - thicker in infants

Styloid/mastoid process - absent in neonatal skull

104
Q

What is A?

A

Styloid process

105
Q

What is B?

A

Mastoid process

106
Q

At what age do the anterior fontanelles fuse?

A

9 to 18 months

107
Q

At what age do the posterior fontanelles fuse?

Q

What does this histology image show?

A

Tongue

112
Q

What kind of epithelium lines the dorsal surface of the tongue>

A

Stratified squamous keratinised epithelium

113
Q

What kind of muscle fibres underlies the epithelium of the tongue?

A

Smooth muscle

114
Q

Each salivary gland is responsible for different kinds of secretions, what are the different types?

A

Predominantly serous

Predominantly mucous

Mixed

115
Q

How does each salivary gland differ histologically?

A

By the present and amount of serous or mucous acini (secretory component)

116
Q

How do serous acini and mucous acini differ?

A

Serous secretes proteins so stain strongly with H&E stain

Mucous secretes the glucoprotein mucous which stains poorly with H&E

117
Q

Which kind of acinis is A and which is B?

A

A - serous acinis

B - mucous acinis

118
Q

Cell labled D is a myoepithelial cell, what is the function of this cell?

A

Contractile function, helps to expel secretions

119
Q

What cell helps expel secretions of salivary glands?

A

Myoepithelial cell

120
Q

A

Mainly mucous acini

121
Q

In terms of mucous/serous acini, parotid glands are?

A

Mainly serous acini

122
Q

In terms of mucous/serous acini, submandibular glands are?

A

A mixture of serous and mucous acini

123
Q

What is image A, B and C?

A
