Review Slides Flashcards
Innervation: Muscles of Palate (Except Tensor Palati)
CN X
Otitis media
middle ear infection. Common in children. The middle ear is a dead end cavity
Function of tarsal glands (in eyelid)
keeps tears from evaporating (they release this oily thing; not important)
Location of pulse of carotid artery
upper border of thyroid cartilage
Cartilage to bone distribution of Auditory Tube
Anterior 2/3 are cartilage. Posterior 1/3 is bone.
What does the hypothalamus control
sympathetic function
How can an infection from the respiratory, prolonged in the auditory ossicles, lead to the brain?
Via the tegmen tympani (roof of middle ear)
Failure of fusion of medial nasal process and maxillary process can lead to…
cleft lip
Cranial nerve supplied by third branchial arch
IX
Site of Oropharyngeal membrane
palatoglossal arch
How to tell facial arteries and veins apart?
Facial arteries wiggle around. Facial vein completely straight
Cause of cleft lip
failure of fusion of medial nasal and maxillary processes
Epidural hematoma is (fast/slow)
fast
Cranial nerve supplied by second branchial arch
VII
Vertebral level of carotid artery pulse
vertebral level C4
Why can’t children with middle ear infections localize pain?
Sensory innervation is visceral sensory, so it’s not precise
Cranial nerve supplied by fourth branchial arch
X
Neurons with all processes (dendrites and axons) inside the CNS
Interneuron
Innervation: Tensor Tympani
CN V (V3)
An increase in CSF pressure can affect vision. What surrounds the optic nerve?
Dura and Subarachnoid Space
Babinski sign is a result of…
upper motor neuron lesion
Swelling of the optic disc (where optic nerve leaves eye)
Papilledema
Mumps
Viral infection of the parotid gland
Lesion associated with clasped knife reflex
upper motor neuron lesions
