Term Test 3 Flashcards
Know what the masses of lymphoid tissue located in the oral cavity and pharynx are called.
Tonsils
Define hilus.
Depression on side of lymph node where lymph flows out by way of efferent lymphatic vessel
Know the characteristics of a healthy lymph node versus unhealthy.
- Healthy: small, soft, free or mobile in surrounding tissue, cannot be visualized or felt when palpating
- Unhealthy: hard, immovable, can be visualized and/or felt during visual examination/palpation
Know where the palatine and lingual tonsils are located.
- Palatine tonsils: two large balls located between the anterior and posterior faucial pillars on each side of the fauces.
- Lingual tonsils: located intraorally on the dorsal surface at the base of the tongue.
Know the primary lymph nodes that drain the face.
- Superficial: facial lymph nodes
- Malar (infraorbital), nasolabial, buccal, mandibular
- Each facial node drains from one to the other in a superior to inferior fashion, and then finally drain together into the deep cervical nodes by way of the submandibular nodes.
Know what nervous system controls the salivary gland and know what type of gland they are.
- Autonomic nervous system
- Exocrine glands
Know which glands are encapsulated and which aren’t.
- Encapsulated: parotid, submandibular
- Not encapsulated: sublingual
What duct is associated with the submandibular, Parotid and sublingual salivary glands?
- Parotid: Stenson’s duct
- Submandibular: Wharton’s duct
- Sublingual: Bartholin’s duct
Know the types of saliva that are secreted from each salivary glands.
- Parotid: serous
- Submandibular: serous and mucous
- Sublingual: mucous and serous (more mucous than serous)
- Von Ebner’s gland: serous
- All other minor glands: mainly mucous
What gland is not innervated by the facial (VII) cranial nerve?
-Parotid
Know the difference between exocrine and endocrine gland. Which endocrine gland is the largest?
- Exocrine: gland having a duct associated with it. The duct is a pathway that allows a secretion to be emptied into a location where secretion is needed.
- Endocrine: ductless gland where secretions are dumped directly into the blood (motor and sensory nerves help regulate the flow of secretion).
- Thyroid gland is largest endocrine gland*
Know where the glands are located (in relation to each other as well).
- Lacrimal glands- lining the inside of the eyelids on lateral side
- Salivary glands:
- Parotid- opposite the maxillary first- second molar area = PAROTID PAPILLA
- Submandibular- located posterior to sublingual gland.
- Sublingual- anterior to submandibular gland.
- Minor- buccal, labial, lingual mucosa, soft palate, lateral portions of hard palate, floor of mouth.
- Thyroid gland- throat below Adams apple.
- Parathyroid – adjacent to or within the thyroid.
Know difference between serous and mucous secretions.
- Serous: watery
- Mucous: thick
What is a Ranula?
-Retention of saliva in the submandibular salivary gland
What is the sublingual caruncle?
-Papillae near middle of floor of mouth where sublingual and submandibular glands open into the oral cavity.
What artery supplies the maxillary incisor teeth?
-Dental and alveolar branches of anterior superior alveolar artery
Where does the thyroid gland receive blood from?
- Superior thyroid artery
- Inferior thyroid artery
Know where the mandibular anterior teeth receive their blood supply from.
-Dental and alveolar branches of incisive artery
What artery do the maxillary second and third molars receive their blood supply from?
-Dental branches of the posterior superior alveolar artery
What artery can sometimes be seen under the skin area of the temporal region?
-Superficial temporal artery
Know where the facial arteries are located.
-Facial artery runs medial to mandible and superior to submandibular salivary gland and then near the mandible’s inferior boarder on the lateral side
- Ascending palatine artery located near neck region
- Submental artery: below chin
- Inferior labial artery: lower lip
- Superior labial artery: upper lip
- Angular artery: lateral sides of the nares and nose
What artery feeds the lower and upper lip respectively?
- Inferior labial artery: lower lip
- Superior labial artery: upper lip
How do dental arteries enter the teeth?
-Through the apical foramen
Know which teeth each nerve blocks would anesthetize. (ASA, MSA, PSA etc.)
- ASA: maxillary central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines and associated tissues
- MSA: maxillary premolars and MB root of maxillary first molar
- PSA: all maxillary molar teeth and associated tissues, particularly second and third molars and the palatal and DB root of the maxillary first molar and max sinus.
- Buccal nerve: mandibular posterior teeth
- Incisive nerve: anterior mandibular teeth
Know the difference between afferent/sensory and efferent/motor.
- Afferent/sensory: carry from periphery of body to brain or spinal cord
- Efferent/motor: carry from brain or spinal cord to periphery of the body causing an effect
What group is the parasympathetic nerves a part of?
-Autonomic nervous system
Know what nervous system is involved with the “flight and fight” response.
-Sympathetic nervous system
List the 12 cranial nerves in order.
I Olfactory II Optic III Oculomotor IV Trochlear V Trigeminal VI Abducens VII Facial VIII Vestibulocochlear IX Glossopharyngeal X Vagus XI Accessory XII Hypoglossal
What us accronym for the crainal nerves?
OOO OOO OOO TO TOUCH AND FEEL VIRGIN GIRLS VAGINA AND HYMEN
Know whether the 12 cranial nerves are afferent or efferent.
- Afferent = sensory
- Efferent = motor
- Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Boobs Matter Most
Know what nerve innervates the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue.
Hypoglossal nerve (XII cranial nerve)
Know what area is innervated by each division of the trigeminal nerve. (V1, V2, V3)
- V1 (ophthalmic divison of CV): conjunctiva, cornea, eyeball, orbit, forehead, ethmoid, and frontal nasal sinuses and part of the dura matter – UPPER FACE
- V2 (maxillary): maxilla, overlying skin, maxillary sinuses, nasal cavity, palate, nasopharynx, and part of dura mater – LOWER NOSE AND UPPER JAW
