Head & N Flashcards
Shelf-like structures inside the nasal cavity?
Nasal conchae.
Inferior / middle/ superior
Function of the nasal conchae?
Increases area surface.
The specialized epithelium found in the nasal cavity?
Psuedostrafified ciliated columnar. (With cilia)
Function of goblet cell?
Secrete sticky mucous
The middle conchae drains into?
Hiatus semilunaris (all sinuses drain here)
Name 4 sinuses
Frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, maxillary
Ethmoid sinus is
NOT paired sinus.
It’s diveded in number ours small department, air socks.
Where does the maxillary sinus drain into?
Hiatus semilunaris. (Middle conchae)
Location of the maxillary sinus? Which sinus is with tooth problem?
Maxillary sinus. Canines to 3rd molars.
Overall function of the sinuses?
Lighten the overall weight of the skull.
Referred pain.
Come from somewhere also.
Maxillary sinus infection, causing the patient feel like all the maxillary posterior teeth were hurting?
The same nerves, the brain does not recognize the nerve signal.
Origin of a muscle.
Least movable.
Insertion of a muscle.
More movable
Name the 4 muscles of mastication (act of chewing or grinding)
Masseter muscle.
Temporal muscle.
Medial Pterygoid muscle.
Lateral Pterygoid muscle.
What nerve innervates mastication muscles?
Trigenimal nerve (V)——mandibular division (V3)
The blood supply of mastication muscles?
Maxillary artery.
Masseter muscle, orgin / insertion
Originate —-the zygomatic arch.
Insert——the angle of the mandible on the lateral side.
Temporal muscle, origin/insertion.
Origin—-entire temporal fossa.
Insert—-coronoid process.
The medial Pterygoid muscle. Origin and insert.
Origin is from medial side of the lateral pterygoid plate.
Insert—-into the angle of the mandible on the medial side.
Lateral pterygoid muscle. Origin/ insert.
Origin —the larger from the lateral side of the lateral pterygoid plate.
Insert—-condyle.
Name the 4 suprahyoid muscles
Digastric muscle. Mylohyoid muscle. Geniohyoid muscle. Stylohyoid muscle.
Digastric muscle, origin and insertion.
Origin is digastric notch.
Insert into the digastric fossa.
How does the digastric muscle attach to the hyoid bone?
Attaches to the hyoid bone by a tendinous loop through it.
Digastric muscle. Two bellies for two nerves.
The anterior of the digastric muscle —-trigeminal nerve V3.
The posterior —-facial nerve VII.
What does the mylohyoid muscle form?
Floor of the mouth.
Stylohyoid muscle vs digastric muscle.
Stylohyoid muscle splits, and the digastric muscle passes through it.
Two muscle have intermedia tendon?
Digastric muscle and omohyoid muscle.
Jaw movements. Mandibular protrusion. Move forward.
Lateral pterygoid muscles acting together produce mandibular protrusion.
Mandibular retrusion. Move back.
The posterior or horizontal fibers of the temporal muscle, as well as the digastric muscle, accomplish retrusion of the mandible.
Lateral excursion. Side to side.
One of the lateral pterygoid muscles acting by itself accomplishes lateral excursion.
Elevation. Close.
The medial pterygoid , massager, and temporal muscles accomplish elevation.
Depression . Open.
By the interior head of the lateral pterygoid muscle plus the hyoid muscles.
