24
Q

Which part of the hyoid apparatus is unpaired?

A

the basihyoid

25
Q

Which part of the hyoid apparatus has a lingual process?

A

the basihyoid

26
Q

What is the smallest part of the hyoid apparatus?

A

the epihyoid

27
Q

What does the epihyoid fuse with?

A

the stylohyoid

28
Q

What is the largest bone of the hyoid apparatus?

A

the stylohyoid

29
Q

What is the tympanohyoid made up of?

A

hyaline cartilage

30
Q

Where is the tympanohyoid located?

A

where the hyoid apparatus meets the skull

31
Q

What is the purpose of the hyoid apparatus?

A

to suspend the tongue and larynx from the skull and serve as an attachment for the muscles

32
Q

What is the guttural pouch?

A

paired diverticula (out pouching) of the auditory tubes

33
Q

What species is the guttural pouch in?

A

the horse

34
Q

What is the function of the guttural pouch?

A

not really known, blood cools here

35
Q

What is epistaxis?

A

a bloody nose

36
Q

Why is the guttural pouch associated with epistaxis?

A

because the internal carotid artery is within it and is often injured which leads to epistaxis

37
Q

Where is the guttural pouch located?

A

ventral to the skull and the wing of atlas, dorsolateral to the naso and laryngopharynx and retropharyngeal lymph nodes

38
Q

What is the opening to the guttural pouch?

A

the pharyngeal opening to the auditory tube

39
Q

What are the compartments of the guttural pouch?

A

lateral and medial compartments

40
Q

What are the compartments of the guttural pouch separated by?

A

the stylohyoid bone

41
Q

Which compartment of the guttural pouch is bigger?

A

the medial compartment

42
Q

What is the medial compartment dorsally divided by?

A

the insertion of the longus capitis

43
Q

What vessels are associated with the guttural pouch?

A

the internal carotid, external carotid, maxillary artery, and maxillary vein

44
Q

Where in the guttural pouch is the internal carotid artery located?

A

in the medial compartment

45
Q

Where in the guttural pouch is the external carotid artery located?

A

on the floor of the medial compartment and in the lateral compartment

46
Q

Where in the guttural pouch is the maxillary artery located?

A

lateral compartment

47
Q

Where in the guttural pouch is the maxillary vein located?

A

if present in the guttural pouch, it is located in the lateral compartment

48
Q

What nerves are associated with the medial compartment of the guttural pouch?

A

glossopharyngeal, vagus, accessory, and hypoglossal

49
Q

What nerve is associated with the medial/lateral junction of the guttural pouch?

A

the facial nerve

50
Q

What passes through or is near the guttural pouch (rarely)?

A

the sympathetic trunk and cranial cervical ganglion
