some extra anat shit Flashcards
What nerves pass through inferior orbital fissure
infraorbital nerve
zygomaticoorbital nerve
orbital branches
What nerves pass through sphenopalatine foramen
nasopalatine nerve
posterior nasal branches
What nerves pass through palatine canals
greater and lesser palatine nerves.
What does the nasopalatine nerve innervate
nasal septum and hard palate
where does the posterior nasal branch innervate
to superior lateral wall of nose
What nerve passes through palatopharyngeal canal
palatopharyngeal nerve
What does the palatopharyngeal nerve supply
the upper nasopharynx posterior to opening of auditory tube
Name the innervations of the lacrimal gland
arises from pterygopalatine branches and then passes through to the zygomaticoorbital nerve
the lacrimal gland has triple innervation:
1) sensory from ophthalmic nerve
2) parasympathetic from facial nerve
and sympathetic from hitchikers on zygomaticoorbital and ophthalmic nerves
Where does the sphenopalatine foramen open into?
It opens into the lateral wall of the nasal cavity at the level just posterior to middle cocha
Where does greater and lesser palatine foramina
it opens into posterior hard palate
Where does palatopharyngeal canal open into
opens posterior to nasal septum
Where does the nasolacrimal duct drain?
inferior meatus
Where does the sphenoethmoidal recess drain?
sphenoidal sinus
Where does the posterior ethmoidal sinus drain?
superior meatus
What parts of the nose is lined with respiratory epithelium
respiratory region between inferior and middle concha
Choanae
What parts of the nose is lined with olfactory epithelium
superior concha, upper septum, roof over upper septum
What parts of the nose is lined with stratified non keratinizing epithelium
atrium
Where does the chorda tympani pass between?
malleus and incus
At what muscle does the chorda tympani join the lingual nerve
deep to the lateral pterygoid muscle
What are the functions of stapedius and tensor tympani
reflex response to high intensity sounds. Muscles contract to reduce vibrations of ossicles and therefore reduces sound intensity before it reaches inner ear
tensor tympani pulls the tympanic membrane inward which reduces sound intensity transmission
What is the tensor tympani innervated by
mandibular nerve
What is the bony labyrinth part of
petrous tympanic bone. It is continuous with the spongy bone of the petrous temporal bone.
cochleal duct
3 hollow structures: scala tympani, vestibuli and medius. Cochleal duct (synonymous with scala media) contains endolymph and organ of corti
what is found in scala vestibuli and tympani
perilymph
what is found in the utricle and saccule
a sensory region called the macula
