Q

Where are the palatine tonsils found?

What do they do?

A

Location: Between glossopalantine (anterior) and pharyngopalantine (posterior) arches

Function: Detects antigens in food and drink and can stimulate innate immune response if necessary

A
  1. Originate from CN IX (Glossopharyngeal Nerve)
  2. Tympanic Nerve –> Lesser Petrosal Nerve
  3. Synapse at Otic Ganglion
  4. Auriculotemporal Nerve to Parotid Gland

Q

How would you anesthetize all your teeth?

A

Lower Dentition

  • Knock out Inferior Alveolar Nerve (Branch of V3)
  • Inject near Pterygomandibular Raphe

Upper Dentition

  • Knock out Posterior Alveolar Nerve for posterior teeth (Branch of V2)
  • Knock out Infraorbital Nerve for anterior teeth (Branch of V2)

Q

What are the pharyngeal constrictors innervated by?

What about stylopharyngeus muscle?

A

Pharygneal Constrictors:

  • Main: CN X (Vagus) innervates most pharyngeal structures
  • Also some from CN IX (Glossopharyngeal)

Stylopharyngeus: CN IX only

Q

What is the role of the pharynx?

A
  • Body cavity that connects the nasal and oral cavities with the larynx (anterior) and esophagus (posterior)
    • commonly referred to as the throat.
  • Helps with process of swallowing
17
Q

What composes Waldeyer’s Lymphatic Ring?

Where does it drain into

A
  • Composed of palatine, pharyngeal, and lingual tonsils
  • Drains to Deep Cervical Nodes
18
Q

What nerve can be found deep and lateral to the palatine tonsil?

A

Glossopharyngeal Nerve

19
Q

What is the function of tensor veli palatini or levator veli palatini? What innervates them?

What happens if the tensor veli palatini or levator veli palatini are paralyzed?

A

Tensor Veli Palantini

  • Tenses soft palate for swallowing
  • Helps depressurize middle ear
  • Innervated by CN V3 (Medial Pterygoid Nerve of Mandibular N.)

Levator Veli Palantini

  • Elevates soft palate for swallowing
  • Also acts on pharyngotympanic tube
  • Innvervated by CN X (Laryngeal branch of the Vagus N.)

Paralysis can lead to reflux of oral into nasal cavity or pharyngotympanic tube dysnfunction.

20
Q

What are the three stages of swallowing?

A
  • Stage 1 - Voluntary: Bolux compressed against palate and pushed into oropharynx from mouth
    • Movements from muscles of tongue and soft palate
  • Stage 2 - Involuntary and Rapid: Soft palate is elevated, closing of nasopharynx from oropharynx and laryngopharynx.
    • Pharynx receives bolus and larynx is elevated.
  • Stage 3 - Involuntary: Pharyngeal constrictors forces bolus down esophagus.
21
Q

What three muscles depress the torus tubarius and open the eustachian tube?

A

Superior pharyngeal constrictor.

Tensor veli palatini.

Levator veli palatini.
