21
Q

What attaches the tongue to the floor of the mouth

A

Frenulum

22
Q

Oral cavity functions + what in the oral cavity allows each function (5)

A

Taste - by tongue

Mastication - by teeth + tongue

Swallowing - by tongue + hard/soft palate

Digestion - by salivary enzymes

Speech - by tongue, cheek + lips

24
Q

Innervation of muscles of mastication

A

CN V3

25
Q

Collective function of muscles of mastication

A

Act on TMJ to assist chewing/grinding of food by teeth, tongue and cheek

26

Where is the oropharynx + lined by what epithelium

A

Behind oral cavity

Stratified squamous non-keratinised epithelium

27
Q

What ring does the oropharynx contain

A

A

Behind the larynx, below oropharynx

31
Q

Boundaries of the hypopharynx

  • superior
  • inferior
  • anterior
A

Superior - upper margin of epiglottis
Inferior - lower border of cricoid cartilage
Anterior - posterior wall of larynx

32
Q

Hypopharynx is divided into what 3 things

A

Pyriform sinus
Post cricoid area
Posterior pharyngeal wall

33
Q

Sensory + motor innervation of hypopharynx

Larynx is made up of how many cartilages + name them

A

9 (3 single + 3 paired):

Cricoid
Thyroid
Epiglottis
Paired arytenoids
Paired corniculates
Paired cuneiforms
35
Q

What are the components of the larynx (4)

A

Cartilage, ligaments, muscles and mucous membrane

36
Q

What do the extrinsic muscles of the larynx do

A

Move the larynx superiorly/inferiorly

37
Q

What do the intrinsic muscles of the larynx do

A

Regulate movement of vocal cords (regulate sound production)

38
Q

3 functions of larynx

A

Air passage into lungs
Produces voice
Assists in swallowing

39
Q

3 components of larynx

A

Supraglottis
Glottis (vocal cords)

A

Reccurent laryngeal nerve (branch of CN X)

EXCEPT CRICOTHYROID - innervated by external laryngeal nerve (branch of superior laryngeal which is also branch of CN X)

41
Q

Sensory innervation of larynx (2)

  • supraglottis
  • glottis/subglottis
A

Supraglottis - internal laryngeal nerve (branch of superior laryngeal which is brach of CN X)

Glottis + subglottis - recurrent laryngeal nerve (direct branch of CN X)

42
Q

5 principles of voice production (speech)

A 
Respiration
Phonation
Resonation
Articulation
Prosody
43
Q

How is respiration involved in voice production

A

Provides air flow which is the source of energy for speech

44
Q

What is prosody in terms of voice production

A

Rhythm, stress and tone of speech

45
Q

How is prosody involved in voice production

A

Produces different rhythm, emphasis and tone of voice
