Q

What type of muscles does the tongue contain

A

Intrinsic and extrinsic

17
Q

What are the functions of the intrinsic and extrinsic muscle

A
  • Intrinsic muscles (alter shape)

* Extrinsic muscles (alter position)- Genioglossus, styloglossus, hyoglossus and palatoglossus

18
Q

Name the nerve supply of the muscles of the tongue

A

CN XII: hypoglossal nerve supply all except for palatoglossus – pharyngeal plexus (CN IX - X)

19
Q

Name the four muscles of mastication

A
  1. Lateral pterygoid
  2. Medial pterygoid
  3. Temporalis
  4. Masseter
20
Q

What is the nerve supply of the muscles of mastication and their function

A

CN V3

Acting on TMJ

21
Q

What epithelium lines the oropharynx and what is its nerve supply

A

Stratified, non-keratinised squamous

Pharyngeal plexus- CN IX & X

22
Q

What is the blood supply of the Laryngopharynx and nerve supply

A

the Superior Thyroid Artery, the Lingual Artery and the Ascending Pharyngeal Artery.
Pharyngeal plexus

23
Q

What are the 3 subsides of the laryngopharynx

A
  1. Pyriform sinus
  2. Post-cricoid area
  3. Posterior pharyngeal wall
24
Q

What are 3 phases of swallowing

A

Oral phase
Pharyngeal
Oesophagus

25
Q

Name the afferent and efferent nerves involved in the swallowing reflex

A

afferent: CN V, IX, X – swallowing centre in medulla – efferent: CN VII, X, XII)

26
Q

Describe the pharyngeal phase of swallowing

A
  • Soft palate pulled upwards
  • Epiglottis covers the larynx, vocal cord approximate, larynx moves upward
  • Upper oesophageal sphincter (UOS) relaxes
  • Respiration is reflex inhibited
27
Q

What is the function of the Larynx

A

Respiration
Voice
Swallowing

28
Q

What are the 3 parts of the larynx

A

 Supraglottis
 Glottis
 Subglottic

29
Q

What are the cartilages that make up the larynx

A

Cricoid
Thyroid
Epiglottic
Arytenoid

30
Q

Name the function of the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the larynx

A

Extrinsic muscles (infrahyoid, suprahyoid, and thyrohyoid) of the larynx move the entire laryngeal complex while intrinsic muscles regulate movement of the vocal folds(arytenoids

31
Q

What is the innervation of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx

A

(CN X) Recurrent laryngeal nerve except for cricothyroid muscle (external laryngeal nerve)

32
Q

What is the sensory innervation of the supraglottic, glottic and subglottic region

A

 Supraglottic: internal laryngeal nerve

 Glottic and subglottic: recurrent laryngeal nerve
