26
Q

What provides somatic sensory to mucosal lining of hard palate & maxillary gingiva ?

A
  1. Nasopalatine nn. (CN V2)
    - Pass through incisive canal & fossa
  2. Greater palatine nn (CN V2)
    - Pass through greater palatine foramina
27
Q

What provides somatic sensory to mucosal lining of soft palate?

A

Lesser palatine nn (CN V2)

- Pass through lesser palatine foramina

28
Q

Depression of soft palate

A

Brings it in contact w/ tongue, sealing off oral cavity from nasopharynx

29
Q

Elevation of soft palate

A

Brings it in contact w/ posterior wall of pharynx, sealing off oral cavity from nasopharynx

30
Q

Soft palate is posterior to what?

A

The hard palate

31
Q

What innervates levator veli palatini? What is the action?

A
  • Vagus n

- Elevates soft palate

32
Q

What innervates tensor veli palatini? What is the action?

A
  • Mandibular n

- Tenses soft palate

33
Q

What innervates palatoglossus? What is the action?

A
  • Vagus

- Depresses soft palate & elevates tongue

34
Q

What innervates palatopharyngeus? What is the action?

A
  • Vagus

- Tenses soft palate

35
Q

Palatine tonsils

A
  • Located btwn palatoglossal & palatopharyngeal

- Highly vascular tonsillar bed (surgical concern during tonsillectomy)

36
Q

How does the nasopharynx communicate w/ the nasal cavity?

A

Via choanae

37
Q

Auditory tubes

A
  • Connect nasopharynx w/ middle ear
  • Pressure equilibrium
  • Muscles of soft palate help w/ opening tubes during swallowing
38
Q

What are pharyngeal tonsils called when they are enlarged?

A

Adenoids

39
Q

Where are pharyngeal tonsils located?

A

Supero-posterior to opening of auditory tube

40
Q

Fxn of ear

A
  • Transfers sound wave vibrations to inner ear for perception of sound
  • Detects head position
  • Perceives balance
41
Q

External acoustic meatus

A
  • Slightly curved canal

- Composed of cartilage (lateral 1/3) & temporal bone (medial 2/3)

42
Q

What do sebaceous & ceruminous glands produce?

A

Cerumen

43
Q

TM

A
  • Separates external & middle ears
  • Cone-shaped
  • Articulates w/ malleus
44
Q

What provides sensory to external surface of TM?

A

Auriculotemporal (CN V3)

45
Q

What provides sensory to internal surface of TM?

A

Glossopharyngeal

46
Q

Middle ear

A
  • Air filled space (tympanic cavity, epitympanic cavity) in petrous part of temporal bone
47
Q

How does the tympanic cavity communicate antero-medially w/ nasopharynx?

A

Via auditory tube

- Route for spread of infection –> otitis media

48
Q

TM also communicates postero-superiorly w/ what?

A

Mastoid antrum/ air cells of mastoid process

- Otitis media can spread to mastoid air cells –> mastoiditis

49
Q

What innervates the malleus? What is the action?

A
  • CN V3

- Reduces movement of malleus & tympanic membrane in presence of loud sounds

50
Q

What does the malleus articulate with?

A

TM & incus

51
Q

What innervates the stapedius? What is the action?

A
  • CN VII

- Reduces movement of stapes in presence of loud sounds

52
Q

Facial nerve pathway

A

Enters internal acoustic meatus –> facial canal –> Exits stylomastoid foramen & gives off 3 branches

  • Greater petrosal
  • Stapdedius
  • Chorda tympani
53
Q

Greater petrosal innervation

A

PNS to lacrimal gland & glands of palate & nasal cavity
- Joins deep petrosal & synapses in pterygopalatine ganglion

54
Q

Stapedius nerve inneration

A

Somatic motor to stapedius

55
Q

Chorda tympani innervation

A
  • Taste (anterior 2/3 of tongue)

- PNS to submandibular & sublingual glands

56
Q

Glossopharyngeal n. gives off what branches?

A
  • Tympanic

- Leser petrosal

57
Q

Tympanic nerve forms what? What does it innervate?

A

Tympanic plexus

- Somatic sensory to internal surface of TM

58
Q

Lesser petrosal innervation

A

Preganglionic PNS to parotid gland

- Synapses at otic ganglion

59
Q

Pathway of greater petrosal n.

A

Brain –> pterygoid canal –> join deep petrosal n. –> forms n. of pterygoid canal –> pterygopalatine ganglion –> joins CN V1 & V2 –> nasal cavity, palate, & lacrimal gland

60
Q

Lesser petrosal pathway

A

Brain –> joins CN V3 –> parotid gland

61
Q

Where is the inner ear located?

A

Within petrous part of temporal bone

62
Q

How do vestibule-sound vibrations enter inner ear?

A

Via oval window

63
Q

Cochlea

A
  • Shell shaped, fluid-filled ducts

- Round window on lateral wall

64
Q

Special sensory innervation (hearing, balance)

A

Vestibulocochlear passes through internal meatus

  • Cochlear n to cochlea (hearing)
  • Vestibular nerve to vestibule & semicircular canals
