20
Q

Intrinsic muscles of the tongue and their actions

A

Genioglossus= protrude (Give)*
Hyoglossus= depress (Hides)
Styloglosses= retracts (back towards styloid)
Palatoglossus= elevates posterior tongue (back towards palate)

*pull larynx forward during swallowing

21
Q

Location of parotid gland and anatomical relations

A

Anterior= masseter
superior= zygomatic arch
posterior= SCM + external ear
inferior= mandible

22
Q

Duct draining Parotid gland and location of its opening in the oral cavity

A

Stenson’s duct (PS)

Opens at the upper 2nd molar b/l

23
Q

Lobes of the parotid gland

A

Superficial and deep

24
Q

What muscles does stenson’s duct cross/ pierce to arrive at the oral cavity

A

cross= masseter
pierce= buccinator

25
Q

Glossopharyngeal nerve functions:
sensory
reflex
parasympathetic
motor

A

sensory + special sensory= posterior 1/3rd of tongue

reflex= gag reflex (afferent, efferent= CN 10)

Parasympathetic= supply to parotid gland [pre-ganglionic fibres (CN 9) to Otic ganglion from which post-ganglionic fibres (AURICULOTEMPORAL) to parotid gland]

Motor= innervates stylopharyngeus muscle (shortens + widens pharynx to elevate larynx during swallowing)

26
Q

Which salivary gland empties via Whartons duct

A

Submandibular duct

27
Q

Location of Whartons duct

A

Either side of the frenulum

28
Q

What is a ranula and where does it arise

A

ranula= mucocele in the SUBLINGUAL glands

29
Q

Which nerves are risk during parotid gland surgery

A

FACIAL NERVE

30
Q

What structures pass through the parotid gland

A

Facial nerve
External carotid artery
Retromandibular vein

31
Q

relationship of submandibular gland and:
-facial artery
-facial vein
-lingual nerve
-hypoglossal nerve

A

-facial artery= posterior to gland

-facial vein= superficial to gland

-lingual nerve=medial to gland/ lateral to Whartons duct

-hypoglossal nerve= below gland

31
Q

Which nerves are risk during submandibular gland surgery AND what post-op features might they present with

A

Lingual nerve (V3)
Marginal mandibular (CN 7)
Hypoglossal nerve (CN 12)

V3= loss of taste/ sensation of posterior 1/3 tongue

CN7= drooping lower lip (ipsilateral)

CN12= tongue deviated TOWARDS side of lesion (ipsilateral intrinsic muscle paralysis)
