Pharynx and Larynx Flashcards
covering of pharynx
pharynobasilar fascia
what is pharynx
tube between respiratory and digestive systems
lining of nasopharynx
pseudo stratified columnar epithelia with cilia
lining of oropharynx
stratified squamous
lining of laryngopharynx
stratifed squamous epithelia
buccopharyngeal fascia
covering for movement
structures lateral to pharynx
CN IX, X, XI, XII
jugular vein
internal carotid
sympathetic trunk
attachment of superior constrictor
pterygomandibular raphe
attachment for middle constrictor
hyoid
attachment for inferior constrictor
cricoid cartilage
components of inferior constrictor
thyropharyngeus
cricohparyngeus
weakest point on pharyngeal constrictors
lower inferior constrictor- possible diverticulum formation
3 pharynx elevators
stylopharyngeus
salpingopharyngeus
palantopharyngeus
pharynx blood supply
branches of maxillary and external carotid arteries
pharyngeal arch 3 innervation
CN IX
pharyngeal arch 4 innervation
superior laryngeal, X
pharyngeal arch 6 inneravtion
inferior laryngeal
CN X
what does CN IX innervate
stylopharyngeus
taste to posteiror 1/3 of tongue
parasympathetic- otic and ganglion and parotid gland
general sensation to posterior 1/3 of tongue, pharynx, auditory tube, tympanic cavity, mastoid air cells, external ear
afferent gag reflex
IX
efferent gag reflex
X
testing for gag reflex
tough posterior tongue
what does CN X innervate
salpingopharyngeus palantopharyngeus pharynx constrictors larynx muscles cough reflex efferent of gag, vomit, sneeze
CN X damage
saggy soft palate contralateral uvula deviation dysphagia horseness dysphonia no reflexes
CN IX damage
loss of taste and sensory to posterior 1/3 of tongue
afferent gag reflex
which tonsils are removed in tonsilectomy
pallatine tonsils
pharyngeal if enlarged (adenoids)
which tonsils have local flushing
lingual
otitis media
ear infection spread from nasopharynx to middle ear via Eustachian tube
what nerve is at risk in tonsilectomy
CN IX
