hns 3 Flashcards
what nerve is tested when examing the oral cavity
cn 10- vagus
what is the soft tissue thats dangling down
uvula
how should the uvula hang
directly down midline
cranial nerve 10- working properly
if it deviates to one side
problem with one of the vagus nerve
which way will it deviate based on the lesion
opposite side
what is the back of the mouth behind teh uvula
posterior wall of the oropharynx
what are the folds called
Palatoglossal
fold
what is the fold behind (cant see if tonsil are enlarged)
Palatopharangeal
fold
what is teh structure behind the tongue that stops food from entering your airway/laryngeal inlet
Epiglottis
3 sections of the pharynx
Nasopharynx
Oropharynx
Laryngopharynx
which sections opens up into the oesophagus
Laryngopharynx
what is a delicate (strong sensory inervation) area in which food can get stuck
Piriform fossa
how many muscles does the pharynx have
3
what are they
Superior, middle and inferior constrictors
what cranial nerves form the pharyngeal plexus
9 10
sensory innervation
which cranial nerve carry the movement of the constrictors
10 and some contrubution by 11
what do the Superior, middle and inferior constrictors
allow
swallowing
how mnany pairs of salivary gland
3
parotid gland- cn9
submandibular- cn7
sublingual- cn 7
how does the saliva get from parotid gland to the mouth
parotid duct,
upper part of mouth
molar
What innervates the parotid gland
9 - glossopharyngeal
what sort of saliva is made by the parotid and teh submandibular
mainly serous
and sublingual
mainly mucous
what innervates teh muscles of teh tongue
hypoglossal 12
extrinisc mucles of the tongue
Styloglossus
Palatoglossus
Genioglossus
where does the Palatoglossus run from
palate to tongue
Styloglossus
styloid process to the tongue
Genioglossus
mandible to tongue
test function of cn 12
ask them to stick tongue out
if it deviates away from the centre then there is a lesion
what is the relationship between teh lesion and the and teh deviation of teh tongue
towards the lesion
what cn supplies the fron 2/3 of your tongue for sensory touch
trigeminal
posterior 2/3 of the tongue
sensory touch and taste
glossopharyngeal
and anterior 2/3 for taste
facial nerve
first phase of swallowing
Oral preparatory phase
what happens to the food
Food / liquid chewed & formed into a bolus
Bolus held on centre of tongue
what structures are required
Lip, jaw, tongue & palate sensory & motor function needed [& dentition]
which cranial nerves
V, VII, IX, X, XII
