34
Q

why is CNVII path important?

A

if have lesions to facial nerve, get Bell’s Palsy- effects muscles of facial expression, location matters

35
Q

relationship between CNIX and CNX?

A

CNIX= glossopharyngeal n

shares forebrain stem nuclei w/ CNX, vagus n. - tied in fxn

36
Q

nerve of gag reflex?

A

CNIX, glossopharyngeal n

37
Q

muscle related to 3rd branchial arch?

A

stylopharyngeus m

38
Q

skeletal elements of 3rd branchial arch

A

greater horn (cornu) of hyoid; lower part of body of hyoid

39
Q

artery of 3rd branchial arch

A

1) 3rd pair of aortic arches
2) proximal pts: common carotid aa
3) distal pts: pts of int carotid aa

40
Q

muscles related to 4th branchial arch?

A 
cricothyroid - and others it shares its innervation w/: 
levator veli palatini 
pharyngeal constrictors 
palatoglossus
salpingopharyngeus 
palatopharyngeus
41
Q

skeletal components related to 4th branchial arch?

A

laryngeal cartilages

42
Q

artery of 4th branchial arch?

A

1) 4th pair of aortic arches
2) left arch- pt of aortic arch
3) right arch- part of R subclavian a

43
Q

which aortic arch is L subclavian a derived from?

A

NONE! it’s not derived from an aortic arch

44
Q

muscles of 5th & 6th branchial arches

A

1) all intrinsic muscles of larynx except cricothyroid
2) levator veli palatini
3) palatoglossus

not obliterated pt > crypts of palatine tonsil

52

derivatives of 3rd pharyngeal pouch?

A

ventral pt- primordia of THYMUS

dorsal pt- inf parathyroid glands

53
Q

derivatives of 4th pharyngeal pouch?

A

ventral pt- ultimobranchial body (fuses w/ thyroid glands)
dorsal pt- sup parathyroid glands

maybe portions of lat thyroid gland

54
Q

derivatives of 5th pharyngeal pouch?

A

usu considered pt of 4th ultimobranchial body

55
Q

what persists from pharyngeal clefts/branchial grooves? which cleft’s it from?

A

ONLY external acoustic meatus

from 1st pharyngeal cleft

56
Q

what happens to 2nd-4th pharyngeal clefts?

A

temporarily exist as common cervical sinus; usu disappears; may become branchial sinus / branchial fistula

57
Q

what are branchial membranes

A

pt of branchial apparatus

appear where epithelia of a branchial groove & pharyngeal pouch approach each other

58
Q

what in adults persists from branchial membranes?

A

from 1st branchial membrane, only 1 pair: tympanic membrane

59
Q

what might persist from pharyngeal clefts, in baby?

A

complete fistula aka branchial cyst

presents as oozing from side of neck

60
Q

what’s mandibular hypoplasia?

A

1st arch problem

failure of meckel’s cartilage, failure of upper portions of malleus, incus to develop

61
Q

what/when does 1st endocrine gland appear in embryo?

A

thyroid gland, day 24

62
Q

where does thyroid gland descend from?

A

foramen cecum - point in the tongue

63
Q

descent path of thyroid gland?

A

from foramen cecum in tongue > chisels through tongue > descends down anterior part of neck > anterior pt of neck finally

64

cause of malformation/variation in thyroid?

A

as descends down anterior pt of neck, things may be in its way

65
Q

what might be in way of thyroid gland as descends?
