what is the passage bound laterally by the dorsal and ventral turbinate (conchae) bones and medially by the nasal septum?
common nasal meatus
name the five major sinus cavities (or recesses) of the head
1. frontal
2. palatine
3. sphenoidal
4. lacrimal
5. maxillary
what is the clinical significance of the paranasal sinuses and which sinuses are of the most importance in these procedures?
- need to invade and drain them in severe infections

- in the horse, site to repel teeth

- the most important clinically are the frontal and maxillary sinuses
what is special about the frontal sinus of the ox?
it extends as a conual diverticulum on the cornual processes of the frontal bones
comment on the species differences in the maxillary sinus of the horse, ox, and dog
horse - the largest sinus. Has a septum of the maxillary sinus that divides it into rostral and caudal compartments, which are bounded medially by the osseus infraorbital canal. Many cheek teeth have roots ventral to this sinus.

ox - has a caudal extention, the lacrimal bulla

dog - very reduced, is called the maxillary recess and lies above upper P4
what is the largest upper cheek tooth in the dog? An infection of this tooth may also involve what other anatomical structure?
upper P4 (carnassial); infection may involve the maxillary recess, the reduced maxillary sinus.
comment on the species differences in the palatine sinus of the horse, ox, and dog
horse - within the perpindicular part of the palatine bone and is continuous with the sphenoid sinus, forming a shenopalatine sinus

ox - in the horizontal part of the palatine bone and freely communicates with the maxillary sinus

dog - absent
comment on the species differences of the lacrimal sinus of the horse, ox, and dog
only present in the ox; communicates with the maxillary sinus
in the horse, a blind-ended compartment extending caudally from the dorsal aspect of the external nares
nasal diverticulum or "false nostril"
in the horse, supports the nostril and is comprised of a lamina and a cornu
alar cartilage
nasal vestibule tissue that extends caudally onto the ventral turbinate
alar fold
name the three major conchae (turbinates)
dorsal nasal concha
ventral nasal concha
ethmoidal concha - largest is the middle nasal concha
name the three major nerves that provide general sensation to the nasal cavity
caudal and cranial branches of the maxillary nerve

ethmoidal branch of the ophthalmic nerve
in the horse, a dilation of the auditory tube
guttural pouch (or auditory tube diverticulum)
the opening of the larynx and its boundaries
aditus laryngeus

- epiglottis, ventrally
- corniculate processes of the arytinoid cartilage, dorsally
- aryepiglottic fold, laterally
name the the three divisions of the laryngeal cavity caudal to the aditus laryngeus
laryngeal vestibule, glottis, infraglottic space
name the boundaries of the laryngeal vestibule
aryepiglottic fold, vestibular fold ("false vocal fold"), lateral ventricle (dog and horse)
name the four major intrinsic muscles of the larynx
they all pass from one laryngeal cartilage to another and are named as such
1. cricothyroideus muscle
2. vocalis muscle
3. dorsal cricoarytenoid muscle
4. lateral cricoarytenoid muscle
paralysis or atrophy of which muscles cause "roarer syndrome" in the horse and dogs?
dorsal and lateral cricoarytenoid muscles
name the major innervations of the larynx
cranial laryngeal nerve, a branch of CN X (Vagus)

caudal laryngeal nerve, the terminal branch of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (a branch of the Vagus)
damage to one or both of the recurrent laryngel nerves can cause what defect of the larynx? How is it fixed?
laryngeal hemiplegia or "roarer syndrome", where the vocal fold cannot be retracted.

It is fixed via a laryngeal tieback surgery, in which a suture is used to artificially construct the dorsal cricoarytinoid muscle
name the three major branches of the common carotid artery
1. external carotid artery (largest)
2. internal carotid artery
3. occipital artery
name the four major branches of the external carotid artery
1. linguofacial artery
2. auricular arieries (two separate branches)
3. maxillary artery (passes through the alar canal)
4. superficial temporal artery
name the three major branches of the maxillary artery
1. mandibular alveolar artery
2. external ophthalmic artery
3. maxillary alveolar/infraorbital
name the two major branches of the linguofacial artery
1. lingual artery
2. facial artery
what artery supplies the horn of the ox and where does it originate?
cornual artery, the termination of the superficial temporal artery
which artery passes through the alar canal?
maxillary artery, a branch of the external carotid artery
what basic procedures are used to gain entry to the sinuses?
trephination - cutting holes with a trephine: usually into the maxillary or frontal sinus

sinus flap
what nerve block would you use to work on the lower incisors?
mental nerve, at the mental foramen of the mandible
what nerve block wod you use to work on the upper incisors and other parts of the rostral face, such as the lip and nose?
infraorbital nerve at the infraorbital foramen. The levator labii superioris muscle must be pushed away to reach this nerve
what is Viborg's triangle?
a surgical site of three incisions to reach the guttural pouch of the horse:

- cranial: caudal edge of the ramus of the mandible

- ventral: linguofacial vein

- dorsal: tendon of the sternomandibularis (and maxillary vein)
name some important structures that lie immediately outside the guttural pouch
- bifurcation of the common carotid artery
- pharyngeal plexus
- medial retropharyngeal lymph node
- cranial cervical ganglion
