Respiratory System Flashcards
What air sinus is not rudimentary at birth?
Frontal air sinus devolops after 2-3 years after birth
What is the origin of the nasal septum?
Fronto-nasal processes
How can you develop a frontal lobe abcess?
Frontal air sinus infection travels posterior to a anterior cranial fossa
Which nerve supplies mucous membrane of nasopharynx ?
Pterygopaline nerve
Other parts of pharynx supplied by CNX and CNIX
Vestibular ligaments develop from
False cords - lower thickening of quadrangular membrane (epliglottis and arytenoid)
Vocal cords
Upper thickening of cricothyroid ligament
Which internal laryngeal muscle is only supplied by external laryngeal nerve?
Cricothyroid muscle that tenses vocal cords
What muscle opens the rima glottidis
Posterior criocarytenoid only
What is the rima glottidis
A gap where vocal cords are in front and arytenoid cartilage vocal process is behind
Lined by simple squamous and devoid sub mucosa

2. shaft (2 surfaces , two borders, two angles)
What nerve supplies intercostal muscles ?
Collateral branch of ventral of rami of thoracic spinal nerves
Which nerve supplies muscles of anterior abdominal wall?
Lateral and anterior cutaneous branches 7-11
What causes coarctation of aorta?
Enlarged posterior intercostal arteries causes notching if ribs esp in back
