Fxn - contributes to stability of nasopharynx

31
Q

Palatine aponeurosis formed by?

A

Expansion of tendon of tensor veil palatini; attaches to caudal margin hard palate

32
Q

Origin, insertion, function of tensor veli palatini?

A

Muscular process of petrous temporal bone & lateral lamina of auditory tube; passes along lateral wall of nasopharynx to insert w/in soft palate

Elevates SP during swallowing, closes nasopharynx, & facilitates oral ventilation in nonobligate nasal breathers

33
Q

Origin, insertion, function of palatinus muscle?

A

Paired fusiform muscle that originates at caudal aspect of palatine aponeurosis & courses thru middle of SP, just beneath nasal mucosa to ramify in caudal free margin of SP

Shortens SP & depresses it toward tongue (with palatopharyngeus)

34
Q

Origin, insertion, function of palatopharyngeus?

A

Arises from palatine aponeurosis (lateral to palatinus) & from palatine & pterygoid bones; fibers continue caudal on lateral wall of pharynx & partially insert into upper edge of thyroid cartilage; remainder continues dorsad & inserts at median fibrous raphe

Shortens SP & depresses it toward tongue (with palatinus)

35
Q

Origin, insertion, function of tensor veil palatini?

A

Fusiform mm; originates @ muscular process of petrous part of temporal bone, pterygoid bone, & lateral lamina of auditory tube & travels rostroventrad along lateral wall of nasopharynx lateral to levator veli palatini; tendon courses around Hamulus of pterygoid bone & ramifies in palatine aponeurosis

Tenses rostral aspect of SP by using Hamulus as pulley & retracts SP away from dorsal pharyngeal wall expanding nasopharynx & slightly depressing it ventrad during inspiration

36
Q

Origin, insertion, function of rostral stylopharyngeus?

A

Originates from medial surface of rostral end of stylohyoid bone & inserts on pharyngeal raphe

Acts as pharyngeal constrictor; not stimulated during exercise

37
Q

Origin, insertion, function of caudal stylopharyngeus?

A

Originates from medial aspect of caudal third of stylohyoid bone & courses ventrally & rostrally to attach on dorsolateral wall of pharynx

Pharyngeal dilator & is responsible for tension on roof of nasopharynx that helps to resist collapse w inspiratory pressure

38
Q

Caudal stylopharyngeus innervated by?

A

CN IX (glossopharyngeal)

39
Q

Extrinsic musculature of pharynx?

A
Geniohyoideus
Thyrohyoideus
Genioglossus
Hyoglossus
Styloglossus
Sternohyoideus
Sternothyroideus
Hyoepiglotticus

Fxn –> Contribute to respiratory patency of nasopharynx by indirectly increasing diameter thru change in size of oropharynx or posn of larynx; also increases stability of SP @ exercise

40
Q

Origin, insertion, fun of geniohyoideus?

A

Originates in conjunction w genioglossus on medial surface of mandible near symphysis & inserts on basihyoid bone

Draws hyoid apparatus rostrally & protrudes tongue

41
Q

Origin, insertion, & function of thyrohyoideus?

A

Extends from lateral lamina of thyroid cartilage to caudal aspect of thyrohyoid bone

Enhances SP stability during exercise by moving larynx rostrad so thyroid cartilage rests more dorsal & rostral in relation to basihyoid; resection disrupts stability resulting in DDSP

42
Q

Origin, insertion, function of genioglossus?

A

Originates w/in median plane of tongue; attaches to oral surface of mandible caudal to symphysis

Contraction protracts tongue & pulls basihyoid bone rostrally; activity may be reproduced by tongue tie

43
Q

Origin, insertion, & function of hyoglossus?

A

Located medial to styloglossus, originates on hyoid bones (lingual process & stylohyoid & thyrohyoid bone) & inserts on medial plane of dorsum of tongue

Retracts & depresses base of tongue

44
Q

Origin, insertion, & function of sternohyoideus & sternothyroideus?

A

Originate on sternal manubrium & extend cranially; sternothyroideus inserts on caudal abaxial aspect of thyroid cartilage & sternohyoideus inserts on basihyoid bone & lingual process of hyoid apparatus

Contraction results in caudal traction on hyoid apparatus & larynx

45
Q

Origin, insertion, function of hyoepiglotticus muscle?

A

Attaches to hyoid bone @ base of epiglottis

During contraction pulls epiglottis ventrad toward base of tongue increasing ventral dimension of rima glottidis

46
Q

Geniohyoideus, genioglossus, styloglossus, hypoglossus, & hyoepiglotticus innervated by which nerve?

A

Hypogossal nerve

47

49

50
Q

Thermal palatoplasty
Tension palatoplasty

51
Q

Dysfunction of what muscle results in collapse of roof of nasopharynx?

A

Stylopharyngess caudalis

52
Q

Potential etiologies for DDSP

A

Masses
Epiglottic hypoplasia or deformation - unable to hold SP in sub epiglottic posn
Caudal retraction of tongue - base of tongue may push soft palate dorsad (tongue tie)
Opening of mouth letting air into oropharynx - disturbs stabilizing effect of sub atmospheric pressure on ventral surface SP (drop/fig-8 noseband)
Abnormal pos of larynx & hyoid bone - more ventral basihyoid bone & more caudal pos larynx in DDSP
Dysfxn of pharyngeal branch vague nerve
Dysfxn of thyrohyoideus muscle
Dysfxn of hypoglossal nerve

Causes increased impedance, decreased minute ventilation, & hypoxia

53
Q

3 models used to induce DDSP

A
  1. Blockade of pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve; palatinus & palatopharyngeus mm important in stabilizing sp during rest & exercise; results in feed & water contamination of upper airway
  2. Thyrohyoideus muscle model – actions of these muscles collapsibility of nasopharynx @ exercise supporting beneficial effect of swallowing on palatal instability
  3. Blockade of hypoglossal nerve – stabilizing effect on nasopharynx
54
Q

4 surgical treatment options for DDSP

A
  1. Staphylectomy (partial soft palate resection) - > 0.75 cm resection disturbs seal btw oropharynx; generally for resection of granuloma or cyst or txt of permanent DDSP w tie-forward
  2. Standard myectomy (sternohyoideus & sternothyroideus)
  3. Minimally invasive myectomy (Llewellyn procedure - partial sternothyroidectomy); rapidly performed & easy in field
  4. Laryngeal tie-forward

(Tension & thermal palatoplasty ineffective for DDSP)

55
Q

Tie-forward intends to replace action of which muscle?

A

Thyrohyoideus muscle; by sutures placed btw thyroid cartilage & basihyoid bone

56
Q
