16
Q

Describe intorsion and extorsion of the eye

A

These movements occur when the head is tilted.
In order to keep the eyeballs focussed on an object the eyes rotate in the opposite direction.

When the top of the eye rotated towards the nose it is called as intorsion, and when it rotates away from the nose it is extortion.

Q

How many extrinsic muscles of the eye are there?

A

There are 6 muscles which move the eye - four of these have a straight course (recti) and two are oblique.

In addition the elevator of the upper eyelid is also considered as an extrinsic eye muscle even though it has no action on the eyeball itself.

A

There are no lymphatic in the orbit

31
Q

What nerve provides parasympathetic innervation to the lacrimal gland?
What is a good rule to remember this?

A

Facial nerve

The facial nerve provides all parasympathetic innervation to glands in the head and neck bar the parotid

32
Q

Inferior meatus

33
Q

What type of joint is found between the ossicles?

Synovial

34
Q

Which ossicle is in contact with the tympanic membrane?

Malleus

35
Q

Which ossicle is in contact with the oval window?

A

Stapes

36
Q

Name the two muscles related to the ossicles

A

Tensor tympani

Stapedius

37
Q

What is the action of the tensor tympani?

A

Pulls handle of malleus medially, tensing the tympanic membrane + reducing the amplitude of vibrations.

Protects the middle ear from very loud noises

38
Q

What is the action of the stapedius?

A

Tightens annular ligament + reduces the oscillatory range

Also prevents excessive movement of stapes

39
Q

Name two areas with which the cavity of the middle ear communicates.

A

Nasopharynx

Mastoid air cells

40
Q

In which part of the temporal bone do the middle and inner ear lie?

A

Petrous part

41
Q

The inner ear consists of a series of bone lined chambers called the bony labyrinth.
Inside the bony labyrinth lies a series of membranous chambers called the membranous labyrinth.
What are the fluids that lie within the bony and membranous labyrinth?

A

Bony labyrinth = perilymph

Membranous labyrinth = endolymph

42
Q

What is the function of the cochlea and the semicircular canals?

A

Cochlea = part of internal ear concerned with hearing

Semicircular canals = part of the ear concerned with balance

43
Q

Through which foramen does the facial nerve exit the posterior cranial fossa?

A

Internal Acoustic foramen

44
Q

What cranial nerves exit the posterior cranial fossa through the internal auditory meatus?

A

Vestibulocochlear nerve

Facial nerve

45
Q

How does the facial nerve travel through the middle ear?

A

Runs in a canal (facial canal) on the medial wall of the middle ear cavity.

46
Q

While in the middle ear cavity the facial nerve gives off the chorda tympani nerve which carries:

A

Parasympathetic (preganglionic) efferent fibres destined for submandibular and sublingual salivary glands.
These are secretomotor

Sensory fibres carrying the special sense of taste.
This supplies the front of the tongue

47
Q

Explain lymphatics broadly

A

Like other regions of the body, the head and neck has an extensive network of small lymphatic capillaries that drain tissue fluid.
This fluid passes through regional lymph nodes and also through a terminal group of lymph nodes, the deep cervical lymph nodes, before being returned to the venous circulation.

48
Q

What are the deep cervical lymph nodes?

A

The deep cervical lymph nodes are a group of lymph nodes which are found as a linked chain of nodes around the internal jugular vein, and within the fascia of the carotid sheath.
The chain of lymph nodes may extend from the base of the skull to the root of the neck at the thoracic inlet.

49
Q

Explain the formation of the jugular lymphatic trunk

A

At the inferior end of the deep cervical chain of lymph nodes, the efferent lymphatic vessels join together to form the jugular lymph trunk on each side.

50
Q

Where do the efferent lymphatics from the jugular lymph trunks drain to into?

A

On the right side: Enter the junction of IJV and subclavian vein.
On the left side: Thoracic duct

Drains into deep cervical nodes
