How many teeth does an infant grow?
20 deciduous teeth/milk teeth
26
How many teeth will the adult replace the deciduous teeth with?
32
27
3rd molars are often called what?
Wisdom teeth - not usually room for them
28
What cranial nerves supply tongue muscles?
CN X and mostly CN XII
29
What cranial nerves supply sensation to the tongue?
CN V3 - lingual nerve CN VII - Chorda tympani CN IX CN X - internal laryngeal nerve
30
What cranial nerve innervates the parotid gland?
CN IX
31
What nerve carries pre-synaptic fibers to the parotid gland and what ganglion do the fibers synapse to?
Lesser petrosal nerve - otic ganglion
32
What nerve carries post-synaptic fibers to the parotid gland?
Auriculotemporal nerve (V3)
33
What cranial nerve innervates the submandibular and sublingual glands?
CN VII
34
What nerve carries pre-synaptic fibers to the submandibular and sublingual glands and what ganglion do the fibers synapse to?
Chorda Tympani - Submandibular ganglion
35
What cranial nerve innervates the lacrimal glands?
CN VII
36
What nerve carries pre-synaptic fibers to the lacrimal gland and what ganglion do the fibers synapse to?
Greater petrosal nerve - pterygopalatine ganglion
37
What nerve carries post-synaptic fibers to the lacrimal gland?
Zygomatic (V2) - uses a communicating branch to reach lacrimal nerve of V1 to innervate lacrimal gland
38
What are the muscles that constrict the pharynx/pharyngeal wall?
Superior, middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictors
39
Origin, insertion, innervation of superior pharyngeal constrictor?
O: Pterygoid hamulus, posterior aspect of mylohyoid line and lateral side of tongue I: Pharyngeal tubercle IN: Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve (CNX)
40
Origin, insertion, innervation of middle pharyngeal constrictor?
O: Stylohyoid ligament and hyoid bone I: Pharyngeal raphe IN: Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve and recurrent branch of laryngeal nerve
41
Origin, insertion, innervation of inferior pharyngeal constrictor?
O: Thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage I: pharyngeal raphe IN: Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve and recurrent branch of laryngeal nerve
42
Actions of superior, middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictors?
Constrict pharyngeal wall
43
What are the palate muscles?
Tensor veli palatini and levator veli palatini
44
Origin, insertion, innervation and action of tensor veli palatini
O: Spine of sphenoid bone and cartilage of auditory tube I: Palatine aponeuroses IN: Medial Pterygoid N (V3) Action: tense soft palate
45
Origin, insertion, innervation and action of levator veli palatini
O: Cartilage of auditory tube and temporal bone I: Palatine aponeuroses IN: Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve Action: elevate soft palate
46
What can result if either or both tensor veli palatini and levator veli palatini are paralyzed?
Reflux of oral cavity contents into the nasal cavity and pharyngotympanic tube dysfunction
47
What are the muscles that elevate the pharynx and larynx?
Palatopharyngeus, salpingopharyngeus, stylopharyngues
48
Insertion of the muscles that elevate the pharynx and larynx?
Thyroid cartilage and lateral pharynx and esophagus
49
Origin and innervation of palatopharyngeus
O: hard palate and palatine aponeuroses IN: pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve
50
Origin and innervation of salpingopharyngeus
O: cartilage of pharyngotympanic tube IN: Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve
51
Origin and innervation of stylopharyngues
O: styloid process IN: GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL N.
52
What are the extrinsic tongue muscles?
Palatoglossus, genioglossus, styloglossus, hyoglossus
53
Which tongue muscle is not innervated by the hypoglossal nerve?
Palatoglossus - vagus pharyngeal branch
54
Action of palatoglossus?
Elevate posterior tongue and draw soft palate toward tongue
55
Action of styloglossus?
Retract and elevate tongue
56
Action of genioglossus?
Depress and protrude tongue
57
Action of hyoglossus?
Retract and depress tongue
58
Stage 1 of swallowing and is it voluntary or involuntary?
Voluntary | Bolus pushed from mouth to oropharynx by muscles of tongue and soft palate
59
Stage 2 and 3 of swallowing are voluntary or involuntary?
Involuntary!
60
Stage 2 of swallowing
Soft palate seals off nasopharynx | Suprahyoid and longitudinal pharyngeal muscles shorten and widen pharynx to receive food and larynx is elevated
61
Stage 3 of swallowing
Sequential contraction of all 3 pharyngeal constrictors to force food into esophagus
62
What innervates the nasopharynx?
CN V2
63
What innervates the oropharynx and laryngopharynx?
Sensory innervation from CN IX and X from the pharyngeal plexus
