head Flashcards
how many cranial nerves
12 pairs, numbered using roman numerals in rostro-caudal direction
I - olfactory for smell
II - optic for sight
III - occulomotor for movement eyeballs
IV - trochlear for movement eyeballs
V - trigeminal
VI - abducent for movement eyeballs
VII - facial for expression muscs
VIII - vestibulo-cochlear for balance + hearing
IX - glossopharyngeal for 1st part swallowing
X - vagus for thorax + GI
XI - accessory
XII - hypoglossal for movement tongue
development mesoderm in trunk
mesoderm cavitation results splanchnic + somatic lateral plate mesoderm enclosing coelomic cavity around gut tube
mesoderm gives rise to muscs
development mesoderm in head
no cavitation, lateral plate mesoderm stays as solid tiss belt around gut tube
* intermediate mesoderm fails develop (disappears) - in trunk it forms kidneys + other structures
segments of head
- ectoderm = skin
- somites (sk musc) (in S1-7)
- endoderm = gut tube lining
- lateral plate mesoderm (sk musc) (in A1-6)
- segmental arteries -> blood
- neuraxis forms brain
- merves
adult appears not to have
distinguishing bet segments
marked externally by lateral indentations (pharyngeal clefts)
* 1st segment no have
* equiv to gill slits (sep segments in fish), just no perforate in mammals
ectoderm
forms outer epithelial covering (skin)
* somatic sensation - press, temp, pain
* innervated by somatic afferents to brain
how is ectoderm of segments 1 + 2 special
deeply invaginated into them, forming stomodeum (oral opening)
* means segments 1 + 2 no endoderm + oral opening lined ectoderm so has conscious sensory innerv
oral plate
thin plate tiss where stomodeal ectoderm meets pharyngeal endoderm
* @ boundary bet seg 2 + 3
has perforate so can swallow
how does control vary in mouth
somatic voluntary control front lined ectoderm
back lined endoderm = involuntary
endoderm
forms inner epithelial covering w unconscious involuntary control
* sensation via autonomic afferents (AA)
* motor via autonomic efferents (AE) - symp + parasymp
= gut tube
parts of endoderm
cephalic (1st) part -> pharynx
6 divisions marked by internal gill slits
* fish = perforate -> external gill slits
* mammals = no perforation but still slits on inside = pharyngeal pouches
lateral plate mesoderm
6 belts sk musc each surrounding pharynx all segs except 1
* each belt = ring donut, sepped by pharyngeal cleft externally + pharyngeal pouch internally
* each belt = pharyngeal arch
* forms special visceral musc of gut tube, e.g. muscs of chewing
* innervated by special visceral efferents (SVE) = conscious voluntary control
nerve fibres = functionally equiv to those from somite (SE)
SE vs SVE
functionally equivalent conscious voluntary motor control to structures derived from somites vs lateral plate mesoderm
somites
each seg has pair
* form sk musc of eyeball + tongue
* innerv by somatic efferents (SE) - voluntary conscious control
segmental arteries
all but 1st seg have pair
* form 6 pairs aortic arches embedded in lat plate mesoderm
* innerv by AA/AE for sensory + constrict/dilate
neuraxis
differentiates into brain
* each segment of it = meuromere
which head structures disappear
= obliterated
- somites 4 + 5 (w associated nerves)
- pharyngeal arch 5 (+ associated ectoderm, endoderm, lateral plate mesoderm, nerves + arterial arches)
- arterial arches 1 + 2
- phrayngeal clefts + pouches 5 = 6
- ectoderm of segs 6 + 7
+ therefore no nerves supplying structures that would arise from here
which structures of head fail to develop further
- endoderm of arch 2 stays as narrow band
- ectoderm of segs 3-5
which structures of head migrate
somites 6 + 7 move away from original location to floor mouth to give rise muscs tongue
development oral + nasal cavity
- paired nasal pits invaginate from ectoderm
- nasal cavity breaks through to oral cavity
- palatine process grows w palatine bone + endodermal soft palate (develops from inside)
R + L nasal cavities sepped by nasal septum
what happens if lateral palatine folds fail develop
cleft palate
* since palate seps oral + nasal cavities this means milk -> nasal cavity -> out nostrils
* can surgically repair but specialist + spenny

- back = endoderm of arch 3
endoderm of arch 2 fails develop further = tiny band bet others
development tongue musc

palpable landmarks:
* nasoincisive notch
* zygomatic arch
* facial crest
cattle = facial tuberosity instead of facial crest
young vs mature animal skull

dog head shapes
problems due brachycephalic dog skull
- stenotic nares w too much cartilage + soft tiss for tinu nasal bones = hard breathe thru nose (often have to go thru mouth)
- long soft palate (not reduced w skeletal support), occludes larynx = hard breathe
- usual no. teeth in smaller space at unusual orientations = hard eat, incr dental disease. mandib less reduced that max. = malocclusion
- exopthalmic eyes - bulging bc shallow sockets = prone damage, lid can’t close properly = ulceration, more prone proptosis (eye way forward
- wrinkly skin bc proportionally more soft tiss => skin infections, inward turning eyelids bc too big (entropian)
cat head shapes
brachycephalic cats have similar problems but live more sedentary = less of an issue
horse head shapes
nasal cavity structure + functions
- large SA for water + heat exchange to warm + humidify air -> lungs (body temp)
- hairs at entrance to trap large particles + surface covered mucous trap small = filter particles from air so no -> lungs
- loads sensory receptor cells to detect odour mols on air - food safe?, mating
anatomy nasal cavity
divided 2 fossae (spaces) by nasal septum (cartil sheet rostral, ethmoid bone caudal 1/3)
* in space = scroll-shaped turbinate bones (== nasal conchae) + meatii (spaces) bet them
purpose turbinate bones
incr A nasal cavity = more surface to humidify, warm, filter air
structure turbinate bones
thin scrolls originating from nasal + maxillary walls
1. ethmoturbinates (up to 30 each side) = small, towards back nasal cavity, attached nasal septum, lateral nasal wall + cribriform plate of ethmoid bone
2. dorsal turbinate = single scroll attached nasal wall/bone (= from it)
3. ventral turbinate = double scroll attached maxilla (= from it)
general plan as in sheep
cribriform plate
dividing wall bet nose + brain
* has holes for stuff brain -> nose - several branches CNI bc majority receptors on ethmoturbinates
where do meatii go
dorsal -> olfactory mucosa
middle -> sinus sys
ventral -> principal airway
common = middle communication part
how are dog turbinates different
multiple leaflets arising from ventral w v little ventral space
sagittal section dog turbinate bones
how are horse turbinates different
ventral turbinate bottom scroll lost = larger ventral space, easy put stuff up
paranasal sinuses are
air-filled extensions (diverticula) of nasal cavity
* spaces bet inner + outer tables of bone = w/in bone
* retain connection nasal cavity via narrow opwnings = prone blockage by inflamm or congestion
* continuous w nasal cavity = lined nasal epithel
* share innerv w nasal cavity - branches of opthalmic + max. of trigeminal
functions of paranasal sinuses
enlarge skull to allow more SA musc attachments, larger oral cavity for larger teeth (take in more food) w/o adding weight
* mean outside head diff shape to inside
not acc sure
main sinuses
- frontal w/in frontal bone
- maxillary w/in maxilla
- sphenopalatine w/in sphenoid + palate
- lacrimal w/in lacrimal bone
- ethmoidal w/in ethmoid
frontal sinus
up to 5 sep compartments
* ox/sheep, 1 compart = cornual process, entending into horn (air -> nasal cav -> sinus -> horn)
* all domestic except horse comms directly w nasal cavity thru openings at caudal end nasal cavity bet ethmoturbinates
frontal sinus on radiograph
horns vs antlers
horns = permanent
antlers shed annually
horns in male + female, often larger in male
ox frontal sinus
horn arises from cornual process of frontal bone + base invaded by frontal sinus (less in small ruminants)
* extensive sinus, often invaginating parietal + occipital asw
* -> 1 major caudal frontal sinus + 4 minor rostral, each w sep opening -> caudal nasal cavity
innerv horn
- cornual n. of zygomaticotemporal of opthalmic of trigem - block for dehorn
- cornual branch of infratrochlear of opthalmic trigem - also need block
- frontal n. of opthalmic trigem
- cutaneous from C1/C2
all cattle have 1, most 2, far less have 3
euthanasia by shooting
aim for medulla oblongata bc resp + CV centre = humane bc gone fast
== avoid midline on species w strong bony midline septum
* also consider brain not at top head bc frontal sinus
how is frontal sinus horse diff
- extends into lacrimal + nasal bones
- drains into caudal max. sinus not nasal cav
- extends rostrally into ‘closed’ caudal part dorsal turb == conchofrontal sinus
spaces w/in turbs
as move caudally scrolls of dorsal/ventral turns curl round on selves to encapsulate more space
* space w/in each curl divided to rostral + caudal part by thin septum
caudodorsal space comms w frontal sinus (-> conchofrontal sinus)
caudoventral space comms w rostromaxillary sinus
maxillary sinus basic structure
comms w nasal cavity via middle meatus
maxillary sinus dogs/cats
== maxillary recess bc comms v freely w nasal cavity
passage air in horse nose
caudal + rostral ends max sinus sepped by bony plate = no comm
nasal cavity -> frontal sinus -> caudal max. -> nasal cavity
nasal cavity -> rostral max. -> nasal cavity
further sections max. sin.
ventral parts split medial + lateral spaces by bony plate supporting infraoorbital canal
* medial boundary = ventral turbinate
* frontal sinus fuses w closed part dorsal turb bone
ways sinus infection
- resp tract infection nose -> sinuses
- tooth root infection breaks down thin bone layer -> sinus infec
why is max. sin. prone infection
- resp tract infection nose -> sinuses (breathe in infec)
- tooth root infection breaks down thin bone layer -> sinus infec (near cheek teeth)
- warm, moist, w ventilation not too intense = ideal for infec
- lots pus build up b4 starts naturally drain bc just lil exit right at top
trephine pts horse
frontal + max. sin. can be opened via these in case of infection to drain
* max. sin can also be used to access unerupted parts cheek teeth to aid extraction
label
dorsal + ventral conchal (= turbinate) bullae
sep compartment w/in concha formed from curling of turbs
* no comm w sinus
* rostral to sinuses
* can become infected
general structure tooth
- bulk tooth = dentine
- pulp chamber inside (cont bvs, nerves, lymphatics)
- enamel above gumline
- cementum lining outside below gumline
- sits in bony socket (alveolar process) - innerv inferior alveolar n.
- bet socket + cementum = peridontal ligament made collagen = can move sligtly = less chips
enamel
hard outer part tooth projecting above gums
* ectodermal origin
* formed by ameloblasts
* acellular + can’t regen (chip = stay chipped)
