Q

What are the paratonsilar veins

35
Q

Why are paratonsilar veins important in a tonsilectomy?

A

If severed, can result in heavy bleeding

along with heavy bleeding from arteries in tonsilectomY

36
Q

What is the main concern when performing a tonsilectomy?

A

cutting the CN 9 (glossopharyngeal nerve)

37
Q

Why is the glossopharyngeal so susceptible to injury during a tonsilectomy?

A

because CN 9 is on the lateral wall of the pharynx

lateral wall of pharynx = thin. easy to cut accidentally

A

pre-ganglionic parasympathetic fibers from chorda tympani

43
Q

Submandibular ganglion receives post-ganglionic ___ fibers from where?

A

post ganglionic sympathetic fibers from extenral carotid plexus

44
Q

Both parasympathetic and sympathetic fibers from the submandibular ganglion are going to supply ____

A

sublingual and submandibular glands

45
Q
