Oral Cavity/Pharynx Flashcards

1
Q

Palate

A

skeletal muscle over hard (anterior 2/3) and soft (post 1/3) palates

uvula extends inferior to soft palate, helps elevate to close off oropharynx in swallowing

fauces--> opening b/t oral cavity and oropharynx
    bounded by paired 
    muscular folds:
             glossopalatine arch 
                  (anterior)
             pharyngopalatine arch 
                     (posterior)

Q

Anatomy of Swallowing

A 
1: voluntary
    bolus compressed against 
     palate, pushed into 
     oropharynx by tongue and 
     soft palate muscles

2: involuntary and rapid
soft palate elevated to seal
off nasopharynx

pharyx widens and 
 shortens to receive bolus

suprahyoid muscles and 
 longitudinal pharyngeal 
 muscles contract to 
 elevate larynx
3: involuntary
    sequential contraction of 
     all 3 pharyngeal 
     constrictor muscles moves 
     bolus to esophagus

Q

Tensor veli palatini vs Levator veli palatini muscles

A 
Tensor veli palatini: CN V3
  tenses soft palate, acts on 
  Eustachian tube 
  (pharyngotympanic tube) to 
  depressurize middle ear

Levator veli palatini: CN X-
pharyngeal plexus
elevates tensed palate, also
acts on Eustachian tube

PARALYSIS–> reflux of oral components into nasal cavity or Eustachian tube dysfunction

Q

N/A/L of teeth

A

Superior (CN V2) and Inferior (CN V3) alveolar nerves create dental plexus that supply teeth

18
Q

19
Q

Submandibular gland innervation pathway

A

Presynaptic parasympathetic secretomotor fibers on chorda tympani (CN VII) to lingual nerve (CN V3)–> synapse in submandibular ganglion–> go to gland along with postsynaptic sympathetic fibers from superior cervical ganglion

20
Q

Submandibular-Nerve relationships

A
  • Lingual N goes beneath submandibular duct and terminates as several medial branches
  • Hypoglossal N deep to gland–> digastric muscle
  • Facial N (marginal mandibular branch) exits anterior-inferior parotid gland @ angle of jaw and runs inferior to submandibular gland
21
