the pharynx communicates with 7 cavities in the head:
2 nasal cavities (choanae)

name the 3 divisions of the pharynx
nasopharynx
oropharynx
laryngopharynx
what division of the pharynx contains the following:
pharyngeal ostium of the auditory tube, torus tubarius, salpingopharyngeal fold, salpingopalatine fold, torus levatorius, pharyngeal recess, pharyngeal tonsil, tubal tonsil
nasopharynx
which division of the pharynx contains the following: pharyngeal isthmus, fauces, palatopharyngeal arch, palatoglossal arch, epiglotic valleculae, palatine tonsil, tubal tonsil
oropharynx
which division of the pharynx can be described as follows:
superior boundary: epiglottis and aryepiglottic folds; contains the piriform recess
laryngopharynx
CC: Adenoids-

Adenoids refer to enlarged ______ or _______ tonsils
pharyngeal or tubal

they can obstruct the nasal pharynx and cause difficulty breathing. If they obstruct the auditory tube--> hearing loss
CC: Waldeyer's ring: circular (hexagonal) arrangement of tonsils
superior = pharyngeal tonsil
superiolateral = tubal tonsils (2)
inferiolateral = palatine tonsils (2)
inferior = lingual tonsil
CC: mechanisms and mm involved in swallowing:

1) pharyngeal isthmus closed by soft palate via 2 mm (A & B), 2) the pharynx is raised by 3 muscles (C, D, & E), 3) the tongue forces food back, 4) 4 muscles that raise the hyoid and depresses the mandible (F, G, H, & I) 5) contraction of a set of mm (J) brings the bolus down the pharynx
A: tensor veli palatini m. (V3)
B: levator veli palatini m. (X)
C: stylopharyngeus m. (IX)
D: salpingopharyngues m. (X)
E: palatopharyngeus m. (X)
F: digastric m. (ant- V3, post- VII)
G: myolohyoid m. (V3)
H: Geniohyoid m. (C1)
I: stylohyoid m (VII)
J: pharyngeal constrictor mm (X)
CC: middle ear infections in kids
in children, the angle of the auditory tube allows ingested fluids to travel more easily into the middle ear
geniohyoid m.

OIAN
O: inferior genial tubercules (mental spines) of mandible near mental symphysis
I: hyoid bone
A: elevates hyoid and brings it fwd
N: C1 coursing with the hypoglossal n. (XII)
stylohyoid m.

OIAN
O: styloid process of the temporal bone
I: hyoid bone
A: raises the hyoid
N: facial n. (VII)
mylohyoid m.

(review OIAN)
O: mylohyoid line of mandible
I: median raphe and hyoid bone
A: elevates hyoid, floor of mouth, and tongue
N: mylohyoid branch of inferior alveolar n, (V3)
diagastric m.

(review OIAN)
O: ant. belly: digastric fossa of mandible
post. belly: mastoid notch of temporal bone
I: hyoid bone
A: ant: elevates and steadies hyoid; depresses mandible
post: elevate hyoid
N: ant: mylohyoid branch of inferior alveolar n, (V3)
post: facial n. (VII)
