Q

3 points on middle meningeal artery

A
  • Runs medial to pterion (risk of laceration in head injury)
  • Branch of maxillary artery (last branch of ECA)
  • Laceration leads to EXTRADURAL haemotoma…increased cranial pressure

Q

5 extratemporal branches of facial nerve? (these are all motor branches btw)

Study These Flashcards
A 
Temporal
Zygomatic
Buccal
Marginal mandibular
Cervical
25
Function of semicircular canals?
Detect ROTATIONAL movements (head turns, nods etc). Cristae are groups of cells fulfilling this function within the AMPULLA part of the canals.
26
Function of utricle and saccule?
Detect LINEAR movements (side to side, forward & back, gravity). Maculae are groups of cells fulfilling this function.
27
Composition of endolymph?
Low Na | High K
28
Composition of perilymph?
High Na | Low K
29
What is otoconia?
Calcium carbonate crystals that give gel above inertia (IN MACULA of utricle/saccule) Become dislodged in BPPV
30
What is the vestibulo-ocular reflex?
Each semicircular canal is paired with two opposing occular muscles, resulting in the ability to turn the head quickly but allow the eyes to focus on one point.
31
Difference between vestibular neuritis and labrynthinitis
Vestibular neuritis: affects ONLY the vestibular (usually superior) nerve. Therefore only vestibular symptoms. Labrynthinitis causes both vestibular and cochlear symptoms
32
What are the two windows of the middle ear and functions?
Oval window, attachment of stapes to cochlear | Round window allows movement of endolymph within cochlea and thus conversion of sound into neural signal
33
Functions of extratemporal branches of facial nerve
``` Temporal - raise eyebrows Zygomatic - shut eyes tight Buccal - puff out cheeks Marginal mandibular - show teeth Cervical - contract platysma ```
34
Classic canal for BPPV otoconia to become lodged
POSTERIOR semicircular canals (due to geometry)
35
What is the lamina papyracae?
Orbital lamina forming large part of the medial orbital wall. It is thin, and may be subject to damage. Part of ethmoid bone
36
Virchows Triad?
Endothelial injury Haemostasis Hypercoagulability
37
Sialolithiasis most common ducts?
Submandibular salivary duct (80-90%) | Rest in parotid duct
38
Sensory innervation of the tongue? (Not taste)
Anterior two-thirds: Lingual branch of CNV3 Posterior third: CNIX
39
Sensory (taste) innervation of the tongue?
Anterior two-thirds: Chorda tympani branch of CNVII Posterior third: CNIX
40
Motor innervation of the tongue?
All intrinisic and extrinsic muscles are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (CNVII), apart from palatapharyngeus which is innervated by the vagus nerve (CNX)
41
Innervation of submandibular and subingual glands?
Parasympathetic increase secretions, nerve from chorda tympani and mandibular nerve. Sympathetic decrease secretions, nerve from superior cervical ganglion
42
Sublingual secretions?
Mainly mucus
43
Submandibular secretions?
Mixed mucus and serous
44
Parotid gland secretions?
Mainly serous
45
What structures pass through parotid gland?
Facial nerve External carotid artery Retromandibular vein
46
Parotid gland innervation?
Parasymp - Otic ganglion (formed from glossopharyngeal nerve), auriculotemporal from otic ganglion to parotid. Symp - Superior cervical ganglion (Sensory innervation from auriculotemporal nerve)
47
Otic ganglion?
Parasympathetic nerve collection
48
Hypoglossal nerve injury signs?
Deviation of tongue to damaged side. | Fasciculations of damaged side
49
Lumbar plexus branches and nerve roots?
``` I twice Get Laid On Fridays: (T12) L1 - Iliohypogastric nerve L1 - Ilioinguinal nerve L1,2 - Genitofemoral nerve L2,3 - Lateral cutaneous nerve of thigh L2,3,4 - Obturator nerve L2,3,4 - Femoral nerve ```
50
Sacral plexus branches and nerve roots?
``` SIPPS L4,5,S1 - Superior gluteal nerve L5,S1,2 - Inferior gluteal nerve S1,2,3 - Posterior cutaneous nerve of thigh S2,3,4 - Pudendal nerve L4,5, S1,2,3 - Sciatic nerve ```
51
Muscles obturator nerve innervates?
Adductors (longus, brevis, magnus) Gracilis Pectineus Obturator externus
52
Muscles femoral nerve innervates?
Iliopsoas Pectineus Sartoris Quadriceps femoris (vastus x3 & rectus)
53
Muscles sciatic nerve innervates?
Semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris | Adductor magnus
54
Oesophagus lymph drainage
Upper third - deep cervical nodes Middle third - posterior mediastinal nodes Lower third - left gastric and coeliac group lymph nodes
55
Large lymph collection draining abdomen?
Cisterna chyli
56
Nerves controlling detrusor and ext urethral sphincters for mictruition?
``` Hypogastric nerve (T12-L2) - SYMPATHETIC - relaxation of detrusor Pelvic nerve (S2-4) - PARASYMP - constriction of detrusor Pudendal nerve (S2-4) - somatic ```
