16
Q

what does the nasopharynx contain in its dorsolateral walls? what is the function?

A

auditory tube opening allows for equalization of pressure

17
Q

what is the shortest portion of the pharynx

A

oropharynx

18
Q

describe the location of the oropharynx

A

ventral to soft palate and extending from the palatoglossal arches to the base of the epiglottis

19
Q

describe the location of the laryngopharynx

A

base of epiglottis to the start of the esophagus, dorsal to the larynx

20
Q

what does the laryngopharynx contain? what is the clinical significance?

A

piriform recess are channels on either side of the epiglottis which can trap foreign bodies

21
Q

the muscles of the pharynx are innervated by what

A
  1. glossopharyngeal n.
  2. vagus n.
22
Q

the muscle of the pharynx forms what functionally? what does this aid in?

A

forms the upper esophageal sphincter and aids in swallowing

23
Q

what are the muscles of the pharynx?

A
  1. hyopharyngeus
  2. thyropharyngeus
  3. cricopharyngeus
24
Q

what 4 cartilages comprise the larynx

A
  1. epiglottis
  2. thyroid
  3. arytenoid
  4. cricoid
25
Q

what cartilage of the larynx reminds madison of Australian men

A

cricoid because it’s big and broad (crikey!)

26
Q

what on the arytenoid is unique to dogs

A
  1. cuneiform process
  2. corniculate process
27
Q

what unique anatomical landmarks are formed in dogs once soft tissue is laid over the larynx

A
  1. vestibular fold
  2. laryngeal ventricle
28
Q

rima glottis

A

aka glottic cleft
opening of epiglottis

29
Q

glottis

A

tissues surrounding and rima glottis

30
Q

what are the muscles of the larynx? what is their function?

A
  1. cricoarytenoideus dorsalis (CAD)
  2. cricothyroideus

open and close rima glottis to control voice

31
Q

what is lar par

A

laryngeal paralysis or the failure to open during inspiration caused by dysfunction of the caudal laryngeal n.

32
Q

a tie-back surgery does what

A

attaches arytenoid to the wall for partial opening of the larynx

predisposes to asphyxiation

33
Q

describe the architecture of the trachea

A

C-shaped hyaline cartilage sequentially connected by annular ligaments

34
Q

what is the function of the trachea

A

air conduction

35
Q

T/F: the trachea is non-collapsible and immobile

A

FALSE - trachialis constricts trachea to increase air velocity during coughing and to accommodate growth of esophagus when swallowing

36
Q

Brachycephalic airway obstructive syndrome

A
  • stenotic nares
  • elongated soft palate
  • eversion of laryngeal ventricles
  • anything that affects airflow
37
Q

T/F: treatment for BAOS is to open the airway through invasive surgical procedure

A

TRUE
