Q

Biggest differences between bebe and adult vocal tract shapes?

A

Baby has
1. tongue, pharynx, and soft palate all ‘smushed together”

  1. the Larynx is waay higher up

Q

Functions of the CN IX?

A

(Glossopharyngeal Nerve)

MOTOR:
stylopharyngeus

SENSORY:
1. sensation from posterior 1/3 tongue
2. taste from posterior 1/3 tongue
3 carotic body (blood chemistry) and carotid sinus (blood psi)

17
Q

What are the functions of the CN X?

A

(Vagus Nerve)

MOTOR:
1. velopharyngeal muscles, pharyngeal muscles, laryngeal muscles

  1. cardiac muscles
  2. thoracic + abdominal viscera

SENSORY:
1. laryngeal, tracheal, esophogeal sensation
2. thoracic and abdominal viscera sensation
3. external parts of ear

18
Q

What are the functions of CN XI?

A

(Accessory Nerve)

MOTOR:
Cranial Branch = pharnygeal plexus

Spinal Branch = SCM and traps

19
Q

What is the pharyngeal plexus?

A

grouping of cranial nerve X and cranial nerve XI

–> for pharyngeal innervation

20
Q

What’s the function of CN XII?

A

(Hypoglossal Nerve)

MOTOR:
move that tongue (all muscles except one)

21
Q

What structure closes off the velopharyngeal port?

A

the velum !

22
Q

What’s the velopharyngeal port?

A

The opening between the oropharynx and nasopharynx

23
Q

What are the muscles involved in closing the velum?

A

levator veli palatini
tensor veli palatini
musculus uvulae

palatoglossus
palatopharyngeus

24
Q

What are the innervations of the velar-closure muscles?

A

Levator veli palatini = CNX + CNXI

Tensor veli palatini = CNV

Musculus uvulae = CNX + CNXI

Palatoglossus = CNX + CNXI

Palatopharyngeus = CNX + CNXI

25
Q

Points of attachment of levator veli palatini?

A

temporal bone/eustachian tube

+

palatine aponeurosis

26
Q

Points of attachment of tensor veli palatini?

A

sphenoid bone/eustachian tube

+

palatine aponeurosis

27
Q

Points of attachment of musculus uvulae?

A

uvula

+

palatine aponeurosis

28
Q

Points of attachment of the palatoglossus?

A

midline of soft palate

+

side of tongue

29
Q

Points of attachment of palatopharyngeus?

A

hard palate and palatine aponeurosis

+

pharyngeal wall

30
Q

function of palatopharyngeus?

A

depress and tense velum

elevate and widen pharynx

31
Q

function of palatoglossus?

A

depress the velum

32
Q

function of the musculus uvulae?

A

shorten and pull up uvula

33
Q

function of the tensor vili palatini?

A

open eustachian tube

tense velum

34
Q

function of the levator tensi palatini?

A

elevate the velum

35
Q

What are the different VP closure patterns?

A

coronal = A-P velar movement

Circular = velar and lateral wall movement

Circular w/ Passavant’s Ridge = circular + ant movement of posterior pharyngeal wall

Sagittal = only lat wall movement
