open rima glottidis

33
Q

Symptoms of Obstruction of Radicular Artery (of Adamklewicz)

A

1) paraplegia (corticospinal tracts, bilateral voluntaryparalysis of legs and lower body)
2) bilateral loss of pain and temperature sense (spinothalamic tract)
3) loss of sphincter control
4) sparing of vibration and position sense (dorsal columns; sensory)

34
Q

Contents of the carotid sheath

A

1) common and internal carotid arteries
2) internal jugular vein
3) CN X (Vagus)

35
Q

Lower motor neuron lesion of hypoglossal nerve

A

Protruded tongue deviates TOWARD side of lesion. Unopposed action of the genioglossus muscle of one side.

36
Q

Can occur during clamping for heart surgery or by a dissecting aortic aneurysm; causes infarction (tissue death in spinal cord) similar to an anterior spinal artery syndrome

A

Obstruction of Radicular Artery (of Adamklewicz)

37
Q

Action of thyroarytenoid muscle

A

Relax vocal ligament, decreasing pitch

38
Q

Sensory innervation of floor of mouth

A

V3

39
Q

Clinical intervention in anaphylactic shock

A

Insert tube into cricothyroid membrane (in between thyroid and cricoid cartilages) to allow air in. This results in less bleeding that tracheotomy

40
Q

Innervation of tensor palati

A

CN V

41
Q

What are surgeons cautious about damaging in (neck) posterior triangle surgery?

A

Brachial plexus and the phrenic nerve

42
Q

Damage can occur to this nerve in thyroid surgery, paralyzing all muscles on one side except cricothyroid; permanent hoarse voice

A

Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve

43
Q

Why can tongue cancer spread to opposite side easily?

A

Lymph vessels of tongue cross the midline; lesion may spread to the opposite side

44
Q

Suboccipital muscles and actions

A

1) Rectus Capitis Posterior Minor (Extend head)
2) Rectus Capitis Posterior Major (Extend/Rotate)
3) Obliquus Capitis Superior (Extend)
4) Obliquus Capitis Inferior (Rotate; has stretch receptors to sense neck rotation)

45
Q

Three Pharynx constrictor muscles

A

Superior, Middle, and Inferior Constrictor

46
Q

Visceral sensory endings of this nerve monitor blood pressure and chemoreception. Damage to it can lead to cardiac-pulmonary dysfunction

A

CN IX

47
Q

Sensory innervation to Ant 2/3 of tongue

A

V3 (lingual nerve; somatic sensory touch) and CN VII (chorda tympani - taste)

48
Q

Area between true and false vocal folds; Lateral extension is Laryngeal Sinus

A

Ventricle

49
Q

Damage to lingual nerve in floor of mouth

A

A

A condition with intense pain

51
Q
