Answer 131

Briefly outline the embryological basis of tongue development. (6m) - Start with lingual swellings (1st arch) and hypobranchial eminences (2nd,3rd,4th arches) on the ventral floor of the primitive pharynx - Opp lateral lingual swellings fuses with each other at median sulcus - Medial lingual swelling kena overgrown by lat lingual swellings (failure results in persistent medial lingual swelling. No

Answer 132

Primordial tongue detaches from ventral floor of primordial pharynx via apoptosis Failure to complete the process leads to ankyloglossia (tongue tie), which results in speech difficulties

Answer 133

Recall question. Relate the embryological basis of tongue development to its innervation. - Since lateral lingual swelling is from 1st arch and forms ant 2/3 of the tongue, sensory innervation to ant 2/3 of the tongue is supplied by CN5 (V3) - Since 2nd arch is overgrown by 3rd arch, CN7 supplies the special sensory (taste) and secretomotor innervation to ant 2/3 of the tongue (SMG,SLG via chorda

Answer 134

Briefly outline the embryological basis for thyroid development, and abnormalities - Thyroid gland originates from midline endodermal diverticulum between 1st & 2nd PA - Grows caudally to reach developing larynx - Proliferates and divides to form 2 solid lobes connected by isthmus - Thyroglossal duct degenerates Abnormalities: Failure of initial diverticulum to migrate inferiorly results in Lingua

Answer 135

The 4 papillae found on the ant 2/3 of the tongue are fungiform papillae (no taste buds), filiform papillae (with taste buds), Follate papillae (with taste buds), Circumvallate papillae (with taste buds) The tonsil found on the pos 1/3 of the tongue is the Lingual tonsil The ant 2/3 and pos 1/3 of the tongue is divided by sulcus terminalis Although Circumvallate papillae (with taste buds) is found

Answer 136

Extrinsic tongue muscles change position of tongue Intrinsic tongue muscles change shape of tongue All muscles of the tongue are innervated by CN12 except for palatoglossus (pharyngeal plexus/CN10)

Answer 137

Lingual nerve carries - General sensory fibres from CNV3 - Special sensory & parasympathetic fibres from Chorda Tympani of CN7

Answer 138

The composition of the major salivary glands are Parotid Gland: Totally serous (can remember as parotid is totally serious HAHAHHA) Submandibular Gland:Mixed serous & mucus Sublingual Gland:Almost completely mucous Secretomotor fibres to Parotid Gland: - Pre-g from CN9 - Post-g from Otic ganglion (hitchhike auricolotemporal n of V3) Secretomotor fibres to SMG & SLG: - Pre-g from CN7 chorda tympani

Answer 139

The nerve that crosses ext carotid art, curve ant to appear below the jaw is CN12

Answer 140

CN12 LMN lesion: tongue deviates to side of lesion because other side protrudes normally CN12 UMN lesion: tongue deviates to side opposite lesion cuz there is bilat UMN influence but contralateral is dominant

Answer 141

Outline the embryological basis of Lip & Palate development (6m) - Start with frontonasal, maxillary and mandibular process located around the primitive oral cavity - Pair of nasal pits appear in frontonasal process, bounded by lateral and medial nasal prominences - Maxillary prominence grow medially to compress medial nasal prominences together, forming intermaxillary segment --> primary palate (

Answer 142

In Lip & Palate development, - Failure of maxillary prominence to fuse w medial nasal prominence results in lat cleft lip, cleft upper jaw, cleft between primary & secondary palate - Failure of palatine shelves to fuse results in secondary cleft palate, cleft uvula

Answer 143

The palatine fossa lies between palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal folds

Answer 144

The 5 muscles of soft palate are: TVP, LVP, Palatoglossus, Palatopharyngeus & Uvula. All muscles of the soft palate are supplied by pharyngeal plexus/CN10 except for TVP (CN V3)

Answer 145

The 4 extrinsic muscles of the tongue are genioglossus, hyoglossus, styloglossus, palatoglossus. All tongue muscles are supplied by CN12 except for palatoglossus (Pharygeal Plexus/CN10)

Answer 146

Palate is innervated by CN V2, supplemented by CN9 to pos soft palate Ant hard palate: - Nasopalatine n via incisive canal (V2) - Greater palatine n via greater palatine foramen (V2) Pos soft palate, palatine tonsil - Lesser palatine n via lesser palatine foramen (V2) (Palatine tonsil by CN9)

Answer 147

Name the 3 divisions of the pharynx and the boundaries Nasopharynx: pos to nose, from base of skull to soft palate Oropharynx: pos to mouth, from soft palate to epiglottis Laryngopharynx: pos to larynx, from epiglottis to cricoid cartilage

Answer 148

The eustachian/ pharyngotympanic tube connects nasopharynx & tympanic cavity, allowing equalization of pressure in middle ear

Answer 149

The laryngeal inlet is formed by epiglottis, aryepiglottic fold, inter-arytenoid fold - Piriform recess is located lateral to the laryngeal inlet.

Answer 150

The muscles of the pharynx are the 3 outer circular constrictors and 3 inner longitudinal Palatopharyngeus, Salpingopharyngeus & Stylopharyngeus. All muscles of the pharynx is innervated by pharyngeal plexus (CN10) except for stylopharyngeus (CN9)

Answer 151

All muscles of soft palate and pharynx are supplied by pharyngeal plexus (CN10) except for TVP (CN V3) & stylopharyngeus (CN9)

Answer 152

The 4 main cartilage of the larynx are - Thyroid Cartilage: gives laryngeal prominence, C4 level - Cricoid cartilage: signet ring shape, C6 level, denotes end of laryngopharynx - Epiglottic cartilage: closes laryngeal inlet - Arytenoid cartilage: paired, vocal process for attachment of vocalis m, muscular process for cricoarytenoid m (pos CA is the only abductor of the larynx)

Answer 153

Histology of vocal folds - Vestibular fold (false vocal cord): Respiratory (PStCColumnarE + Goblet cells) - Vocal fold (true vocal cord): Wear & tear (StSquamousE) Note that this is as good as saying that the entire interior of the larynx is covered with respiratory epithelium except for the vocal folds.

Answer 154

The 6 inner larynx muscles are mnemonic: 2T(EAv), 2C(TA),2A(TO) TE: Thyro-epiglottic TA: Thyro-arytenoid & Vocalis CT: Cricothyroid (Ext LN) CA: Crico-arytenoid (L & P) AT: Transverse arytenoid AO: Oblique arythenoid - (P) CA is the only abductor - CT tilts thyroid forward - All inner larynx muscles supplied by RLN except for CT (Ext LN) Lesion of ELN = hoarseness, bilateral PARTIAL lesion of RLN

Answer 155

Blood supply of larynx is the same as the thyroid gland. - Sup thyroid art (from ECA) --> sup laryngeal art - Inf thyroid art (from Subclavian art)--> inf laryngeal art

Answer 156

Nerve supply for larynx is ALL FROM CN10 - Motor: all RLN except CT (Ext LN) - Sensory: Int LN above vocal fold, RLN below vocal fold Rmb RLN loops around arch of aorta (LHS)/subclavian (RHS)

Answer 157

Middle ear/Tympanic cavity is located within petrous temporal bone 3 Ossicles (MIS) transmit sound from tympanic membrane to inner ear - Malleus (1st PA) - Incus (1st PA) - Stapes (2nd PA, hence stapedius is also CN7) - Handle of malleus to tympanic membrane, base of stapes fills oval window The two muscles in tympanic cavity that dampen vibration to soften loud sounds thru reflex contraction are

Answer 158

Lai. Walls & relations of the middle ear. Print it into your brain nibba!!! (try drawing out) (10m) [Lat] tympanic membrane (not shown in pic), chorda tympani deep to membrane [Med] Promontory (1st turn of cochlea), tympanic plexus, oval + round window, prominence of facial canal (CN7) [Ant] pharyngotympanic tube, tensor tympani, ICA [Pos] aditus communicating w mastoid sinus [Floor] base of skull

Answer 159

Inner ear is located in petrous temporal as well Vestibular system: innervated by CN8 (vestibular n) o Utricle & saccule (sense static head rotation) o Semi-circular canals w 3 diff axis (sense head rotation) Cochlea system: organ of Hearing, innervated by CN8 (cochlear n) o Scala vestibuli (perilymph) o Scala tympani (perilymph) o Scala media/cochlear duct (endolymph) o Scala vestibuli & tympani

Answer 160

Transmission of sound pathway Vibration of Tympanic membrane transmitted by auditory ossicles (M.I.S) --> at oval window, transduction of vibration to pressure waves of the scala vestibuli --> helicotrema --> scala tympani --> round window dissipates pressure wave

Answer 161

Cochlear basilar membrane properties changes from thick & taut from base of cochlear to thin & floppy at apex of cochlear. Hence - base of cochlear senses high frequency - apex of cochlear senses low frequency Hair cells on Organ of Corti on basilar membrane transduces vibration to membrane potential
