HNS Flashcards
Temporalis origin and insertion
origin: temporal fossa
insertion: coronoid process of mandible
Temporalis action
elevates and retracts the mandible
Masseter origin and insertion
origin: zygomatic arch
insertion: lateral surface of the ramus
Masseter action
closes the mouth
Medial pterygoid origin and insertion
Origin: sphenoid bone and lateral pterygoid plate
insertion: angle of mandible
Medial pterygoid action
elevate the mandible
lateral pterygoid origin and insertion
origin: lateral pterygoid plate and maxilla and palate
insertion: neck of mandible
lateral pterygoid action
depresses and protracts the mouth
side to side movement in isolation when grinding
what does the temporal branch of the facial nerve innervate
occipitofrontalis, obicularis oculi, corrugator supercilli
What does the buccal branch of the facial nerve innervate
obicularis oris, buccinator, zygomaticus
What does the mandibular branch of the facial nerve innervate
depressor anguli oris, depressor labii inferioris, mentalis
what does the cervical branch of the facial nerve innervate
platysma
what 3 structures does the pharynx contain
nasopharynx, oropharynx, laryngopharynx
innervation of the pharynx
motor and sensory innervation is by the pharyngeal plexus (formed from fusion of CN 9 and 10)
at what level does the pharynx end
C6, inferior border of cricoid cartilage
describe welders ring
adenoid/pharyngeal tonsil at top of mouth, tubal tonsil, palatine tonsils on sides, lingual tonsils on base of mouth
what are the choanae separated by
the posterior end of the nasal septum
what are the two arches in the mouth,
most anterior: palatoglossal arch
posterior: palatopharyngeal arch
which muscle elevates the uvula
levator veli palatini
which muscle elevates the soft palate
tensor veli palatini
what are the extrinsic muscles of the pharynx and their innervations
superior, middle and inferior constrictors
stylopharyngeus
sensory: CN 9, 10 (pharyngeal plexus)
motor: vagus nerve, except stylopharyngeus - glossopharyngeal nerve
what are the 3 glands of the lower face, what type are their secretions and which nerves run through them
Parotid: glossopharyngeal, mainly serous
Sublingual: facial, mainly mucous
Submandibular: facial, mainly serous
