Respiratory Flashcards
Dorsal pharyngeal wall supported by which muscle? Innervated by?
Stylopharyngeus
Innervated by CN IX (glossopharyngeal); if blocked causes dorsal pharyngeal collapse
Dilation of pharynx on inhalation
Geniohyoid & genioglossus pull rostrally & ventrally; sternothyroid & sternohyoid pull caudally –> extension of stylohyoid-ceratohyoid articulation, ventral movement of hyoid bone, & nasopharyngeal dilation
Muscles that dilate external nares?
Dilator naris & transversus nasi; innervated by CN 7
Position of soft palate determined by which 4 muscles?
- Palatinus
- Tensor veli palatini
- Levator veli palatini
- Palatopharyngeus
Dysfxn of which muscle destabilizes the cranial portion of the soft palate?
Tensor veli palatini
Innervation of the muscles of the soft palate?
Pharyngeal br of Vagus innervates all but tensor veil palatini
T veli palatini - medial branch of mandibular nerve
Dysfxn of which muscle destabilizes the cranial portion of the soft palate?
T veli palatini
Blocking pharyngeal branch of Vagus nerve results in what?
DDSP
Which muscle stabilizes epiglottis?
M. hyoepiglotticus
Originates on basihyoid bone & inserts on base of epiglottis
When contracts – pulls epiglottis ventrad toward base of tongue
Hyoepiglotticus innervated by what nerve?
CN XII (hypoglossal) Blocking causes epiglottic retroversion during inhalation in exercising horses
What upper airway dysfxn easier to recreate on treadmill than overground endoscopy in racehorses?
Palatal dysfxn & DDSP
After laryngoplasty & ventriculocordectomy peak inspiratory flow & minute ventilation increase how much?
Peak inspiratory flow - 30-70%
Minute ventilation - up to 50%
On ultrasound, depth of basihyoid bone was shown to be affected how in horses with DDSP?
More shallow in horses w DDSP
US sensitivity & specificity for RLN?
Increased muscle echogenicity of cricoarytenoideus lateralis
Sensitivity 90.77%
Specificity – 90%
Key diagnostic feature of 4-BAD?
Absence of cricothyroid articulation
6 pairs of sinuses
Dorsal, middle, & ventral nasal conchal sinuses
Sphenopalatine sinus
Frontal sinus
Maxillary sinus
Dorsal conchal sinus communicates with which sinus?
Frontal sinus; formin conchofrontal sinus
Ventral conchal sinus communicates with which other sinus?
Rostral maxillary sinus; over infraorbital canal through conchomaxillary opening
Which sinus is largest?
Maxillary
Roots of which maxillary teeth enter the rostral & caudal maxillary sinus?
109/209 - rostral
110/210 & 111/211 - caudal
Describe communications of caudal maxillary sinus
Caudal max sinus partially divided by infraorbital canal over which it communicates w sphenopalatine sinus
Communicates dorsally w conchofrontal sinus via frontomaxillary opening @ level of osseous lacrimal canal & medial wall of orbit
Communicates w nasal cavity thru nasomaxillary opening into caudal aspect of middle meatus
Describe communications of rostral maxillary sinus?
Rostral max sinus divided by infraorbital canal into medial & lateral compartments
Medial compartment communicates w middle nasal meatus via narrow slit (nasomaxillary opening)
Rostral compartment communicates w ventral conchal sinus over infraorbital canal thru conchomaxillary opening
