A

Extrinsic muscles ALTER THE POSITION of the tongue
- move it side to side for ex

*All lingual muscles are innervated by the HYPOGLOASSAL N (CN XII) except the PALATOGLOSSUS MUSCLE (CN X)

A

Styloglossus
- Retracts the tongue

Hyoglossus
- Depresses the tongue

Genioglosus
* Bilaterally depresses tongue & unilaterally deviates tongue to contralateral side
* Pulls tongue anteriorly for PROTRUSION & retracts apex of protruded tongue (only 1 that does this)

52
Q

A

Superior Longitudinal, Transverse, & Vertical M.

  • Intrinsic muscles CHANGE THE SHAPE of the tongue
  • All intrinsic muscles are innervated by the HYPOGLOSSAL N (CN XII)
53
Q

Describe Paralysis of Genioglossus

A

When the genioglossus (only 1 that protrudes the tongue) is paralyzed, the tongue mass has a tendency to SHIFT POSTERIORLY, obstructing the airway & presenting the risk of suffocation.

Total relaxation of the genioglossus muscles occurs during GENERAL ANESTHESIA; therefore, the tongue of an anesthetized patient must be prevented from relapsing by INSERTING AN AIRWAY.

54
Q

Describe the innervation of tongue

A
  • Lingual and Chorda Tympani
  • CN IX
  • Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)
  • Motor innervation to tongue
  • Tongue just anterior to the epiglogs

  • except the pallosis
  • Posterior 1/3 of the tongue
  • General sensation & taste: GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL N (CN IX)
  • Anterior 2/3 of the tongue
  • General sensation: LINGUAL N (CN V3)
  • Taste: CHORDA TYMPANI N (br. of CN VII)
55
Q

Describe the vasculature of tongue

A

Supplied by the LINGUAL A, which passes DEEP TO THE HYPOGLOSSUS MUSCLE

LINGUAL VEINS drain the tongue into the internal jugular vein

(medication given under the tongue gets absorbed)

56
Q

58
Q

Salivary Gland: Sublingual

A

Secretes SALIVA through many SUBLINGUAL DUCTS into the oral cavity under the tongue

Innervation:

63
Q

What are the 3 Stages of Deglutition?

A

Stage 1 (voluntary):
* Bolus is pressed against the palate
* Muscles of the SOFT PALATE AND TONGUE push food into the oropharynx

Stage 2 (involuntary):
* SOFT PALATE ELEVATES to seal the nasopharynx from the oropharynx
* Pharynx widens and shortens
* LONGITUDINAL PHARYNGEAL AND SUPRAHYOID MUSCLES elevate the larynx

Stage 3 (involuntary):
* All three PHARYNGEAL CONSTRICTORS forces the food bolus into the esophagus.

64

What isn’t working properly when food goes down wrong tube while talking/laughing etc.?

A

soft palate (doesn’t elevate to seal the nasopharynx from the oropharynx)

65
Q

What are the Pharyngeal Constrictor Muscles?

A

  • Same innervation: PHARYNGEAL BRANCH OF CN X
  • 3 external circular muscles
66
Q

What are the 3 external circular muscles of the Pharyngeal?

A
  1. Superior pharyngeal constrictor
  2. Middle pharyngeal constrictor
  3. Inferior pharyngeal constrictor
67
Q

What are the Internal Longitudinal Muscles of the Pharynx’s function & muscles?

A

3 muscles:
– Palatopharyngeus
(CN X)
– Salpingopharyngeus (CN X)
– Stylopharyngeus (CN IX)

68
Q

A

stylopharyngeus

69
Q

Glossopharyngeal n. (CN IX)
*MOTOR to ______
*SENSORY to all _____

A

stylopharyngeus

pharyngeal mucosa

70
Q

What is the Gag Reflex?

A
  1. Irritation of pharyngeal mucosa
  2. Glossopharyngeal n. (CN IX) is the Afferent signal to the BRAIN (MEDULLA)
