Q

Postganglionic sympathetic fibers originate in the __ ganglion to reach the submandibular gland by coursing in the external carotid and facial plexuses in the adventitia of the respective arteries

A

superior cervical

17
Q

The ___ plexus on the facial a. distributes postganglionic sympathetic fibers to the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands

A

facial

18
Q

In 50% of specimens, a __ lobe may extend upwards from the isthmus of the thyroid along the midline

A

pyramidal

19
Q

Occasionally, some accessory thyroid tissue, an embryological remnant of the ___ duct, may continue superiorly through the hyoid bone towards the foramen caecum of the tongue. Cysts may form along the course of this tissue

A

thyroglossal

20
Q

What is the relationship of the recurrent laryngeal n. to the thyroid gland?

A

The RLN is located medial to the lobes between the trachea and esophagus. It innervates all of the muscles of the larynx, except the cricothyroid

Q

Where does the superior thyroid a. arise from?

A

external carotid a. (or common carotid)

22
Q

Where does the inferior thyroid a. arise from?

A

thyrocervical trunk

23
Q

___ is the key landmark to the root of the neck

A

anterior scalene m.

24
Q

Removal of the parathyroid glands (as in a thyroidectomy) results in ___

A

tetany and ultimately death

25
Q

The trachea extends from what vertebra?

A

C6-T2

26
Q

Where is the recurrent laryngeal n relative to the trachea?

A

Postero-lateral

27
Q

A ___ is an emergency airway that is cut through tracheal rings 2-4

A

tracheotomy

28
Q

A ___ establishes an emergency airway by cutting through the cricothyroid membrane.

A

cricothyrotomy

29
Q

The surgical access to the esophagus is easier from which side?

A

left side

30
Q

The ___ is a pyramidal-shaped portion of the thoracic cavity that extends into the base (root) of the neck between the scaliness and the longus collie muscles. The apex of this extends 3 cm into the root of the neck at the mid-clavicular line.

A

cupola of the pleura of the lung

31
Q
