Zill Review Flashcards
Anterior Cleft Palate
Same as cleft lip. Do not fuse medial nasal process and maxillary process
Posterior Cleft Palate
Failure to fuse secondary palate (maxillary processes of each side)
Complications of tonsillectomy
1) post-operative bleeding of tonsillar branch of facial artery
2) damage to CN IX (Glossopharyngeal)
True/false: Veins of the spinal cord have no valves
TRUE
Example of cancer which can metastasize to vertebral column
Carcinoma of prostate (in the pelvis)
Symptom of maxillary sinus infection
toothache
How is pressure in the middle ear equalized
Tensor and Levator Palati transiently open auditory tube when swallowing
Torticollis
contracture of sternocleidomastoid (congenital or acquired); face to OPPOSITE side
Structure forming a lingual thyroid
Thyroglossal ducts remnants
Innervation of muscles of the tongue
Hypoglossal Nerve (CN XII)
Internal and External Jugular Veins: which descends in the carotid sheath and which descends on the outer surface of sternocleidomastoid?
Internal Jugular Vein is in the carotid sheath. External Jugular Vein descends on the outer surface of sternocleidomastoid
Lateral Cricoarytenoid muscles
close rima glottidis
Upper motor neuron lesion of hypoglossal nerve
Protruded tongue deviates AWAY from side of lesion to cortex, etc.. (control only contralateral). This is all due to unopposed action of the genioglossus muscle
Action of cricothyroid muscle
Stretches vocal ligament, increasing pitch
Anaphylactic shock
Acute allergic reaction. Swelling of vestibular folds; can constrict airway and lead to suffocation.
mucosa is tightly attached to vocal folds thats why it happens in the false not true vocal folds
Symptoms of parotid tumors and mumps
1) Ear (outer) ache due to compression of Auriculotemporal Nerve (V3)
2) Facial Paralysis – Compress VII
Innervation of mucous glands of nose and palate
Parasympathetics from CN VII
Sensory innervation to Post 1/3 of tongue
CN IX
Ludwig’s Angina
Infection of floor of mouth (submandibular space), often due to spread from abscessed mandibular tooth. Infection may obstruct airway and push up tongue
Plaque at carotid bifurcation
Can give rise to emboli in internal carotid artery and cause cerebrovascular occlusion STROKE
Sensory innervation of the dura
- V1, V2, V3
- CN X (Vagus)
- Sensory branches of C1/C2
Highly anastomosed artery leading into nasal cavity
Sphenopalatine Artery (from maxillary artery)
Sensory and branchiomotor innervation to all muscles of larynx except cricothyroid muscle
Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve
Action of tensor palati
tenses soft palate
rima glottidis
opening between the true vocal cords and the arytenoid cartilages of the larynx
“Popcorn 1”; First pharyngeal structure causing difficulty swallowing
Valleculae (in the oropharynx)
Constrictor muscle continuous anteriorly with buccinator
superior constrictor
