Fauces Structures (5)
Isthmus of Fauces Soft Palate Uvula Palatoglossal Arch Palatopharyngeal Arch
Laryngopharynx Relationships
Extends from epiglottis to cervical esophagus
Thyroidectomy
Incision Spot and Risks
Incision 2 fingers below laryngeal prominence
Risk of cutting Recurrent Laryngeal Ns
Deglutination Steps (3)
1) Voluntary, Push food up to soft palate with tongue
2) Involuntary, Soft palate elevated to seal nasopharynx, pharynx and larynx pulled up
3) Pharyngeal constrictors push food down, food closes epiglottis and constrictors push food into esophagus
Branchial Embryonic Issues (3)
Branchial Fistula
Patent opening through to neck
Branchial Sinus
Open to outside but not through to throat
Branchial Cyst
Not open to either side, close to CN IX, XI and XII
