Q

What is characteristic of hypsodont teeth that differs to brachydont teeth?

A

Hypsodont teeth continue to grow (from their apical aspect) long after the tooth has erupted. Eruption itself continues for life to compensate for occlusal wear. Brachydont teeth do not continually erupt.

A

Also known as the infundibulum. The space filled with cementum due to folds which form in the cementum during development of the tooth. Known as the mark when we reach the base of it.

Q

Why do animals with hypsodont teeth have a convoluted enamel pattern on the grinding surface (“table”) of their teeth?

A

This forms due to the different rates of wear of the materials comprising the tooth. For example, enamel is a much stronger material than dentine or cementum and therefore slows down at a slower rate than them.

🔹to the inside of the tympanic membrane, the tympanic bulla contains an air-filled cavity associated with the middle ear and connected to the nasopharynx via an auditory tube (eustachian tube)
🔹 the Eustachian tubes open when there are movements in the soft tissues of this region to equalise air pressure

3

53

54
Q

The 4 main types of salivary glands are innervated by…

A

CN VII ( Mandibular, sublingual, buccal and zygomatic) and CN IX (parotid)

55
Q

Describe the process of deglutition (7 steps)

A

Bolus prepared by mastication and salivation ➡️ apex of tongue pressed to hard palate ➡️ rapid contraction of mylohyoideus and extrinsic tongue muscles to move bolus into oropharynx ➡️ contact between food bolus and pharyngeal mucosa sets off reflexes ➡️ soft palate is raised, glottis is closed, hyoid apparatus is drawn rostrally, pharynx is shorten (drawn rostrally) ➡️ bolus moves to oesophagus by pharyngeal sphincter ➡️ peristalsis moves bolus to stomach

56
Q

Describe the path of the oesophagus.

A

The oesophagus has three segments: the cervical, thoracic and abdominal.

The cervical segment begins dorsal to the cricoid cartilage and follows trachea inclining slightly to the left. It is situated medial to the left jugular groove. At the level of the 1st rib it returns to median position.

The thoracic region is situated within the mediastinum of the thorax. It passes over the base of the ❤️ and crosses the right side of the aortic arch. It continues dorsal to the tracheal bifurcation and goes slightly left before passing ventral to the aorta. It ends at the oesophageal hiatus of the diaphragm.
