0.2. Give the attachments, nerve supply and actions of inferior constrictor muscles.
Ans.
The inferior constrictor muscle consists of two parts:
I. The thyropharyngeus
2. The cricopharyngeus
Their attachments arc as follows:

The thyropharyngeus arises from:
I. The oblique line on the lamina of the thyroid cartilage, including the inferior tubercle.
2. The inferior cornua of the thyroid cartilage.
The cricopharyngeus arises from the cricoid cartilage behind the origin of the cricothyroid
muscle. All the constrictors of the pharynx are inserted into a median raphe on the posterior
wall of the pharynx.
Nerve Supply
All muscles of the pharynx, except the stylopharyngeus are supplied by the motor fibres derived
from the cranial acces-sory nerve through the branches of the vagus. The inferior constrictor
receives an additional supply from the external and recurrent laryngeal nerves.
Action of Inferior Constrictor Muscles of Pharynx

The inferior constrictors of the pharynx bring about the third stage of deglutition or swallowing.
SHORT NOTES

SCALP, TEMPLE AND FAill
LONG ESSAYS
0.1. Enumerate the layers of scalp. Give their blood supply, nerve supply and lymphatic
drainage. Ans. The scalp is made up of five layers: I. Skin 2. Superficial fascia 3. Deep fascia
(epicranial aponeurosis or gales aponcurotica) 4. Loose arcolar tissue 5. Pericranium. I. The skin
is thick and hairy outermost layer of the scalp. It is adherent to the epicranial aponeurosis
through the dense superficial fascia. It contains large number of se-baceous glands and is richly
supplied by blood vessels. 2. The superficial fascia is the second layer of scalp which is more
fibrous and dense in the centre than at the pe-riphery. It binds the skin to the adjacent
aponeurosis, and provides the proper medium for passage of vessels and nerves to the skin. 3.
The deep fascia, i.e. the epieranial aponeurosis or gales aponeurofice, is the third layer of scalp
which is freely movable on the pericranium along with the overlying adherent skin and fau-ia.
The occipitofrontalis muscle has two bellies, occipital and frontal, both of which are inserted
into the epicra-nial aponeurosis. Anteriorly, it receives the insertion of the frontalis, posteriorly
it receives the insertion of the occipitalis and is attached to the external occipital protuberance,
and to the highest nuchal lines in between the occipital bellies. On each side the aponeurosis is
attached to the superior temporal line, but sends down a thin expansion, which passes over the
temporal fascia and is attached to the zygomatic arch. 4. The fourth layer of the scalp is made up
of loose areolar tissue which extends anteriorly into the eyelids; posteri-orly to the highest and
superior nuchal lines and on each side to the superior temporal lines.
5. The pericranium is the fifth layer of the scalp and is loosely attached to the surface of the
bones, but is firmly adherent to their sutures where the sutural ligaments bind the pericranium
to the endocranium.
Arterial Supply of Scalp and Superficial Temporal Region The scalp has a rich blood supply (Fig.
1A.2.1) derived from both the internal and the external carotid arteries, the two systems
anastomeue over the temple. In front of the auricle, the scalp is supplied from before backwards
by the following: I. Supratrochlear 2. Supraorbital 3. Superficial temporal arteries. The first two
are branches of the ophthalmic artery, which is a branch of the internal carotid artery. The
superficial temporal is a branch of the external carotid artery. Behind the auricle, the scalp is
supplied from before backwards by the following: I. Posterior auricular 2. Occipital arteries.
Both are the branches of the external carotid artery.

0.2. Describe the maxillary nerve under the follow-ing headings: origin, course, branches,
distribution and applied anatomy. Ans. The maxillary nerve is a sensory nerve originating from
ante. rior border of the trigeminal ganglion. It leaves the cranial cavity through the foramen
rotundum and enters the pterygo palatine fossa. It then enters the orbit through the inferior
orbital fissure. The nerve is accompanied by the infraorbital artery. The part of this nerve in the
floor of the orbit is called infraorbital nerve. In the floor of the orbit the nerve passes whin the
infree.rbitol canal. P. then passes through the infraorbital foramen and enters the face and
terminates by dividing into the following peripheral branch= 1. Inferior palpebral branch 2.
Lateral nasal branch 3. Superior labial branch. Branches of maxillary nerve in detail arc as
follows (Fig. IA.2.2): Within the cranial cavity:

pterygopalatine fossa: I. Ganglionic branches to join pterygopalatine ganglion 2. Zygomatic
nerve: a. Zygomaticotemporal b. Zygomaticofacial 3. Posterior superior alveolar nerve Within
the floor of the orbit: 1. Middle superior alveolar nerve 2. Anterior superior alveolar nerve On
the faces 1. Inferior palpebral branch 2. Lateral nasal branch 3. Superior labial branch. The
posterior, middle and anterior superior alveolar nerves enter the maxilla, and they form the
superior dental plexus to supply the teeth of the upper jaw. Also they supply the maxillary air
sinus.
Ganglionic Branches 1. Sensations from the pharynx, nose, palate and orbit are carried by these
fibres. 2. It also receives seavtomotor fibres through the nerve of the pterygoid canal to supply
the lacrimal gland.
Zygomatic Nerve I. It is a branch of maxillary nerve. It enters the orbit, and divides into
zygomaticofacial and zygomaticotemporal branches. 2. Zygomaticofacial nerve passes through
the foramen of the zygomatic bone to supply skin of molar region.

3. Lateral nasal artery 4. Muscular branches to the muscles of facial expression.
Applied Anatomy During injury of the face bleeding from the facial artery can be stopped by
compressing the artery against the lower border of mandible. In the lips branches of the facial
artery are found nearer to the mucous membrane than to the skin. Hence, injuries caused by the
teeth on the mucous membrane of the mouth may develop hidden hematomas. The labial
branches of the facial artery of both sides are communicating around the mouth. This
communication forms anastomosis between the external carotid arteries of both sides.

Or Origin, course, relation and branches of facial artery. Ans. Refer to the answer of Long Essay
Q. 4. 0.2. Buccinator muscle. Ans.
The buccinator muscle also known as trumpet muscle is the chief muscle of the cheek. This
muscle is covered by the buccopharyngeal fascia and buccal pad of fat. It is pierced by the
parotid duct opposite to maxillary second molar.
Origin 1. From lateral surface of alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible at the level of
the third molar tooth 2. From anterior border of pterygomandibular raphe.
Insertion All the fibres converge at the angle of the mouth and fuse with the fibres of the
orbicularis oris.
Nerve Supply Beer al branch of the facial nerve supplies the buccinators muscle. Applied
Anatomy During the facial nerve injury, the paralysis of the buccinator muscle leads to inability
to blow the cheek.

and sublingual salivary glands and taste fibres from the anterior two.thirds of the tongue. 0.5.
Give a short account of parts, relation and nerve supply of lacrimal gland.
Ans. I. Lacrimal gland is a serous gland which is 'J' shaped, being indented by the tendon of the
levator palpebrae superioris muscle situated chiefly in the lacrimal fosse on the lateral part of
the roof of the bony orbit and partly on the upper eyelid. Small accessory lacrimal glands are
found in the conjunctival fornices. 2. The parts of lacrimal gland are as follows: a. A palpebral
part: smaller and superficial, lying within the eyelid b An orbital part: which is larger and
deeper. 3. About a dozen of its ducts pierce the conjunctiva of the upper lid and open into the
conjunctival sac near the superior fornix. Most of the ducts of the orbital part pass through the
palpebral part. 4. The gland is supplied by the lacrimal branch of the ophthalmic artery and by
the lacrimal nerve. The nerve has both sensory and secretomotor fibres. The course of
secretomotor fibres is as follows: Lacrimatry nuckus Nerves intermedius Gcniculatc ganglion
Greater petirosal nerve Nerve of pteirygoid canal Plerygopalline ganglion Relay Zygomatic and
zygoirtaticotemporal nerve Lacrimial nerve Lai-finial gland
The lacrimal fluid secreted by the lacrimal gland flows into the conjunctival sac where it
lubricates the front of the eye and the deep surface of the lids. Most 01 the fluid evaporates. The
rest is drained by the lacrimal canaliculi. When excessive, it overflows as tears.

Middle fibres decussate before passing to the lips.
Actions I. Flattens cheek against gums and teeth. 2. Prevents accumulation of food in the
vestibule.
0.3. Bell's patsy. Ans.
Infranuclear lesions of the facial nerve are known as Bell's palsy. The features of Bell's palsy are
as follows: 1. The face becomes asymmetrical and is drawn up to the normal side. 2. The affected
side is motionless. 3. Wrinkles disappear from the forehead. 4. The eye cannot be closed. 5. Any
attempt to smile draws the mouth to normal side. 6. During mastication, food accumulates
between the teeth and the check. 7. Articulation of labials is impaired.
Q.4. Facial vein. Ans.
I. The facial vein is the largest vein of the face with no valves. 2. It begins as the angular vein at
the medial angle of the eye. 3. It is formed by the union of the supratrochlear and su-praorbital
veins. The angular vein continues as the facial vein, running downwards and backwards behind
the facial artery but with a straighter course. 4. ft crosses the anteroinferior angle of the
masseter, pierces the deep fascia, crosses the submandibular gland, and joins the anterior
division of the retromandibular vein below the angle of the mandible to form the common facial
vein. The latter drains into the internal jugular vein. 0.5. Facial artery. Ans. I. The facial artery
(facial part) is the chief artery of the face. It is a branch of the external carotid artery given off in
the carotid triangle just above the level of the tip of the greater comua of the hyoid bone. 2. In its
cervical course, it passes through the submandibu-lar region, and finally enters the face. 3. The
anterior branches on the face are as follows: a. Inferior labial to the lower lip. b. Superior labial -

General Anatomy
0.7. Deep facial vein. Ans. I. Deep connections of the facial vein include a communi-cation
between the supraorbital and pterygoid plexus through the deep facial vein, which passes
backwards over the buccinator. 2. The facial vein communicates with the cavernous sinus
through that connections. 3. Infections from the face can spread in a retrograde direction and
cause thrombosis of the cavernous sinus. This is especially likely to occur in the presence of
infec-tion in the upper lip and in the lower part of the nose. 0.8. Palpebral ligament. Ans. The
palpebral fascia of the two lids forms the orbital septum. Its thickenings form tarsal plates of
tarsi in the lids and the palpebral ligaments at the angles. Q.9. Dangerous area of scalp. Ans.
Infections from the face can spread in a retrograde direction and cause thrombosis of the
cavernous sinus. This is likely to occur in the presence of infection in the upper lip and in the
lower part of the nose. This area is, therefore, called the dan-gerous area of the face (Fig. IA.2.9).
Fig. 1A29 Dangerous area of the lace.

0.10. Epicranlal aponeurosia. Ans. I. The epicranial aponeurosis or gales aponcurotica is the
third layer of scalp and is freely movable on the pericra-nium along with the overlying and
adherent skin and fascia (Fig. IA.2.10). 2. Anteriorly, it receives the insertion of the frontalis pos-
teriorly, it receives the insertion of the occipitalis and it is attached to the external occipital
protuberance, and to the highest nuchal lines in between the occipital bellies. On each side the
aponeurosis is attached to the superior temporal line, but sends down a thin expansion, which

aponeurosis.
Ans.
The posterior border of the hard palate provides attachment to the palatine aponeurosis. 0.12.
Nasolacrimal apparatus. Or Name the structures forming lacrimal apparatus. Ans. The
structures concerned with secretion and drainage of the lacrimal or tear fluid constitute the
lacrimal apparatus. It is made up of the following parts: 1. Lacrimal gland and its ducts 2.
Conjunctival sac 3. Lacrimal puncta and lacrimal canaliculi 4. Lacrimal sac S. Nasolacrimal duct.
0.13. Levator palpebrae superioris. Ans. Levator palpebrae superioris muscle is an eye opener
(or) dilator muscle.
Origin It originates from the following: I. Inferior surface of the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone
2. Orbital surface of the body of the sphenoid bone anterior to the optic foramen.
Insertion It expands towards the upper eyelid and divides into super-ficial and deep layers,
which are inserted to: I. Orbital septum and palpebral ligaments (medial and lateral) 2. Superior
tarsal plate 3. Skin of the upper eyelid. The smooth muscle fibres of the levator palpebrae
superioris is called as Muller's muscle.
The aponeurosis of this muscle divides the lacrimal gland into palpebral and orbital parts.
Nerve Supply I. Upper division of the oculomotor nerve. 2. Sympathetic fibres from T, segment
of the spinal cord supplies the smooth muscle fibres of the muscle.
Actions It elevates the upper eyelid. Applied Anatomy Paralysis of the muscle causes ptosis
(drooping of the upper eyelid). Paralysis of the smooth muscle fibres of this muscle causes
pseudoptosis (Homer's syndrome). 0.14. Name the cervical branches of facial artery. Ans.
The cervical branches of facial artery are as follows: I. Ascending palatine artery 2. Tonsillar
artery 3. Glandular branches 4. Submental artery.
0.15. Give the formation and termination of ante-rior facial vein.
Ans.
Facial (anterior facial) vein, corresponds in general, to the facial artery. The facial vein takes its
origin from the junction of the veins of the forehead and nose. Its upper part is termed the
angular vein and accompanies the angular artery. The angular vein receives the frontal vein, the
supraorbital vein and veins from the lower lid and from the bridge of the nose. From the inner
corner of the eye, the facial vein descends in a fairly straight line to the lower border of the
mandible.

sheath around them (Fig. IA.3.3). The sheath contains the brachial plexus and the subdavian
artery. 2. The nerves to servants anterior (long thoracic, CS, C6, C7) arise by three roots. The
roots from C5 and C6 pierce the scalenus medius and join the root Cl. The nerve
passes over the serrates anterior in the medial wall of the axilla and gives branches to the
digitations of the muscle. 3. The nerve to the subclavius (C5, C6) descends in front of the
brachial plexus and the subclavian vessels, to reach the deep surface of the subclavius muscle.
As it runs near the lateral margin of the scalenus anterior, sometimes it gives off the accessory
phrenic nerve, which joins the phrenic nerve in front of the scalenus anterior. 4. The
supraseapular nerve (C5, C6) arises from the upper trunk of the brachial plexus and crosses the
lower pan of the posterior triangle. It passes backwards over the shoulder to reach the scapula.
It supplies the supraspi-flatus and infraspinatus muscles.
Vessels I. The subclavian artery passes behind the tendon of the scaknus anterior and the
subclavian vein passes in front of the tendon. 2. The suprascapular artery is a branch of the
thyrocervical trunk which passes laterally and backwards behind the clavicle. 3. The transverse
cervical artery is also a branch of the thyrocervical trunk. It crosses the scalenus anterior, the
phrenic nerve, and the upper trunks of the brachial plexus, the nerve to the subclavius, the
suprascapular nerve and the scalenus medius. At the anterior border of the levator scapulae it
divides into superficial and deep branches.

0.1. Occipital artery. Ans.
Occipital artery commences from the external carotid artery just above the greater horn of the
hyoid bone. It commences opposite to the commencement of the facial artery. Branches include
the following: I. Stemoeleidomastoid branches-upper and lower 2. Mastoid artery 3. Muscular
branches 4. Descending branch-superficial and deep branches 5. Meningeal branches-supply the
duns mater of the posterior cranial fosse 6. Branches to supply posterior surface of the auricle
and posterior quadrant of scalp. The terminal part of the artery supplies posterior quad-rant of
the scalp. 0.2. Cervical fascia.
Ans.
The deep cervical fascia of neck is condensed to form the following layers: t. Investing layer 2.
Pretracheal layer 3. Prevertebral layer 4. Carotid sheath
5. Buccopharyngeal fascia 6. Pharyngobasilar fascia. The applied anatomy of the deep cervical
fascia: I. Parotid swellings are very painful duc to the unyielding nature of the parotid fascia. 2.
The thyroid gland and all thyroid swellings move with deglutition because the thyroid is
attached to the larynx by the suspensory ligaments of Berry. 3. Division of the external jugular
vein in the supraclavicu-lar space may cause air embolism and consequent death because the
cut ends of the vein are prevented from retraction and closure by the fascia, attached firmly to
the vein.
0.3. Suprasternal apace. Ans. The investing layer encloses two fascia! spaces: I. Supraclavicular
space 2. gorraerernal ere, Near the lower part of the tnidlinc of the neck, the fascia splits to
enclose a space called suprasternal space (space of Burn's). Within the suprasternal space, the

and suspends the thyroid gland and forms its false capsule. Superiorly it extends up to the hyoid
bone. Inferiorly it extends into the thorax and joins the fibrous pericardium. 2. Laterally, it fuses
with the carotid sheath and through this sheath it is continuous with the investing layer of deep
cervical fascia. 3. Medially, it divides and encloses the thyroid gland. It forms the false capsule
for the thyroid gland. 4. The posterior capsule of the thyroid is thin and hence enlargements of
the thyroid are directed posteriorly. 5. The pretracheal fascia invests the infrahyoid muscles.
This fascia is attached to the thyroid and cricoid carti-lages as the suspensory ligament of Berry.
This ligament binds the thyroid gland to the larynx. 0.5. External jugular vein. Or Formation of

detail the position, contents, tributaries and applied aspect of cavernous sinus. Ans.
Venous sinuses of dura mater are venous spaces the walls of which are formed by dura mater
(Fig. I A.6.1). They have an inner lining of endothelium. They are devoid of muscle and valves in
their walls. Venous sinuses receive venous blood from the brain, the meninges and bones of the
skull. Cerebrospinal fluid is poured into some of them.

The pressure of blood in the cranial venous sinuses is kept constant as the sinuses communicate
with veins outside the skull through emissary veins. There are 23 venous sinuses, of which 8 are
paired and 7 are unpaired. A. Paired venous sinuses are as follows: There is one sinus each on
the right and left sides. I. Cavernous sinus 2. Superior petrosal sinus 3. Inferior petrosal sinus
4. Transverse sinus 5. Sigmoid sinus 6. Sphenoparietal sinus 7. Petrosguamous sinus 8. Middle

Cavernous Sinuses Each cavernous sinus is a large venous space situated in the middle cranial
fosse, on either side of the body of the sphe-noid bone. Its interior part is divided into a number
of spaces or caverns by trabeculae. The trabeculae are muds less con-spicuous in the living than
in the dead. The floor of the sinus is formed by the endosteal dura mater. The lateral wall, roof
and medial wall are formed by the meningeal dura mater.

through the anterior and posterior intercavernous sinuses and through the basilar plexus of
veins.
AU these communications are valveless, and blood can flow through them in either direction.
Applied Anatomy I. Thrombosis of the cavernous sinus may be caused by sepsis in the
dangerous area of the face, in the nasal cavities, and in the paranasal air sinuses. This gives rise
to the following symptoms: A. Nervous symptoms a. Serve pain in the forehead in the area of
distribution of the ophthalmic nerve b. Involvement of the third, fourth and sixth cranial nerves
resulting in paralysis of the muscles supplied. B. Venous symptoms Marked oedema of the
eyelids, cornea and root of the nose, with exophthaltnos due to congestion of the orbital veins. 2.

by had injury which results in the protrusion and pulsation of eyeball with each heartbeat
known as the pulsating exophthalmos. 0.2. Describe the pituitary gland in detail. Mention Its
blood supply, development and relation. Ans. The hypophysis cerebri or pituitary gland is a
small endo-crine gland situated in relation to the base of the brain. It is often called the master
of the endocrine orchestra because it produces a number of hormones that control the
secretions of many other endocrine glands of the body (Fig. IA.6.3). It lies in the hypophyseal
fossa or sena turcica or pituitary fosse, which is roofed by the diaphragms sense. The stalk of the
hypophysis cerebri pierces the diaphragms seise and is attached above to the floor of the third

Subdivisions The gland has two main parts: adenohypophysis and neuro-hypophysis, which
differ from each other embryologically, morphologically and functionally. The adenohypophysis
develops as an upward growth called the Rathke's pouch from the ectodermal roof of the
stomodetun. The neurohypophysis develops a downward growth from the floor of the
diencephalon and is connected to the hypo-thalamus neural pathways. Further subdivisions of
each part are given below.

of a thin strip that is separated from the anterior lobe by an intraglandular cleft, a remnant of
the lumen of Rethkes pouch. 3. Tatra! lobe or pars tuberalis: It is an upward extension of the
anterior lobe that surrounds and forms part of the infundibulum.

Arterial Supply (Fig. 1A.6.5) The hypophysis cerebri is supplied by the following branches of the
internal carotid artery. 1. One superior hypophyseal artery on each side 2. One inferior
hypophyseal artery on each side. Each superior hypophyseal artery supplies: I. The ventral part
of the hypothalamus 2. The upper part of the infundibulum 3. The lower part of the
infundibulum through a separate long descending branch, called the in:bender artery. Each
inferior hypophyseal artery divides into medial and lateral branches, which join one another to

ring around the posterior lobe. Branches from this ring sup-ply the posterior lobe and also
anastomose with branches from the superior hypophyseal artery. The anterior lobe or pars
distalis is supplied exclusively by portal vessels arising from capillary tufts formed by the su-
perior hypophyseal arteries.The long portal vessels drain the median eminence and the upper
infundibulum, and the short portal vessels drain the lower infundibulum. The por-tal vessels are
of great functional importance because they carry the hormone releasing factors from the
hypothalamus to the anterior lobe where they control the secretory cycles of different glandular
cells.
Venous Drainage Short veins emerge on the surface of the gland and drain into neighbouring
dural venous sinuses. The hormones pass out of the gland through the venous blood and are
carried to their target cells.
Histology and Hormones Anterior lobe 1. Chromophilic cells (50%) a. Acidophddalpha cells
(about 43% of cells) i. Somatotrophs: Secrete growth hormone (S111, C14)
ii. Mammorrophs (prolactin cells): Secrete lactogenic hormone. iii. Corticorrepbs, Secrete ACTH
b. Basophilsibeta cells (about 7% of cells) i. Thyrotrophs Secrete TSH u. Genedotroplic Secrete
FSH iii. Luteotrophn Secrete LH or ICSH 2. Chromophobic cells (50%) represent the
nonsecretory phase of the other cell types or their precursors.
Intermediate lobe It is made up of numerous basophil cells and chromophobe cells surrounding
masses of colloid material. It secretes the melanocytes stimulating hormone (MSH).
Posterior lobe It is composed of (a) a large number of non-myelinated fibres—
hypothalamohypophyseal tract and (b) modified neurological cells, called pituicytes. They have
many dendrites, which terminate on or near the sinusoids. The hormones related to the
posterior lobe are (a) vasopressin, (ADH) which acts on kidney tubules, and (b) oxytodn, which
promotes contraction of the uterine, and mammary smooth muscle Those hormones are
actually secreted by the hypothala-mus,from where theseare transported through the
hypothalamo-hypophyseal tract to the posterior lobe of the gland.

Ten tort u m cerebelli. Ans. The tentorium cerebelli is a tent-shaped fold of dura mater, forming
the roof of the posterior cranial fossa. It separates the cerebellum from the occipital lobes of the
cerebrum and broadly divides the cranial cavity into supratentorial and infratentorial
compartments. The infratentorial compartment, in other words, is the posterior cranial fossa
containing the hindbrain and the lower part of the midbrain (Fig. IA.6.6). The tentorium
cerebelli has a free margin and an attached margin. The anterior free margin is U-shaped and
free. The ends of the 'U' are attached anteriorly to the anterior dinoid processes. This margin
bounds the tentorial notch, which is occupied by the midbrain and the anterior part of the supe-
rior vermin. The outer or attached margin is convex. Postero-laterally, it is attached to the lips of
the transverse, sold on the occipital bone and on the posteroinferior angle of the parietal bone.
Anterolaterally, it is attached to the superior border of the petrous temporal bone and to the

or Methels rave. There are two layers of dun below the ganglion. The cave is lined by pia-
arachnoid so that the ganglion along with the motor root of the trigeminal nerve is surrounded
by CSF. The ganglion lies at a depth of about 5 cm from the preauricular point.
Relations
Medially: I. Internal carotid artery 2. Posterior part of cavernous sinus. Laterally: Middle
meningeal artery. Superiorly: Parahippocampal gyros. Inferiorly: 1. Motor root of trigeminal
nerve 2. Greater petrosal nerve 3. Apex of the petrous temporal bone 4. The foramen lacerum.
Associated Root and Branches The central processes of the ganglion cells form the large sensory
root of the trigeminal nerve, which is attached to pons at its junction with the middle cerebellar
peduncle. The peripheral processes of the ganglion cells form three divisions of the trigeminal
nerve, namely the ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular.
The small motor root of the trigeminal nerve is attached to the ports superomedial of the
sensory root. It passes under the ganglion from its medial to the lateral side and joins the
mandibular nerve at the foramen *vale.
Blood Supply The ganglion is supplied by twigs from the (a) internal carotid, (b) middle
meningeal and accessory meningeal arteries and (c) by the meningeal branch of the ascending
pharyngeal artery.

Q.1. Fats cerebri. Ans.
the fait cerebri is a large sickle-shaped fold of dura mater occupying the median longitudinal
fissure between the two cerebral hemispheres (Fig. 1A.6.9): It has two ends: I. The anterior end
is narrow and is attached to the crista gall. 2. The posterior end is broad and is attached along
the median plane to the upper surface of the tentorium cerebelli.
The felt cerebri has two margins I. The upper margin is convex and is attached to the lips of the
sagittal sulcus. 2. The lower margin is concave and free. The fate cerebri has right and left
surfaces, each of which is related to the medial surface of the corresponding cerebral
hemisphere. Three important venous sinuses are present in relation to this fold. 'the superior
sagittal sinus lies along the upper margin; the inferior sagittal sinus lies along the !rawer mar
gin; and the straight sinus lies along the line of attachment of the falx to the tentorium cerebelli.
0.2. Meckel's cave. Ans.
The trigeminal or Merkel's cave is a recess of dura mater present in relation to the attached

the pressure. Example: 1. The parietal emissary vein passes through the parietal foramen to the
superior sagittal sinus. 2. The mastoid emissary vein passes through the mastoid foramen to the
sigmoid sinus. Applied anatomy: Extracranial infections may spread through these veins to
intracranial venous sinuses. 0.4. Cavernous sinus. Ans. I. Each cavernous sinus is a large venous
space situated in the middle cranial fossa on either side of the body of the sphenoid bone. It is
about 2 cm long and 1 cm wide. 2. Its interior part is divided into a number of spaces or caverns
by trabeculae. 3. The floorof the sinus is formrdby thcendosteal dura mates 4. The lateral wall,
roof and medial wall are formed by the meningeal dun meter. 5. Anteriorly, the sinus extends up
to the medial end of the superior orbital fissure and posteriorly up to the apex of the petrous
temporal bone. 0.5.Tentotium cerebelli.
Ans.
The tentorium cerebelli is a tent-shaped fold of dura mater, forming the roof of the posterior
cranial fossa. It separates the cerebellum from the occipital !oh= of the cerebrum and broadly
divides the cranial cavity into supratentorial and infratentorial compartments. 0.6. Diaphragms

Trigeminal ganglion is the sensory ganglion of the fifth cranial nerve (Fig. 1A.6.12). It is
homologous with the dorsal nerve root ganglia of spinal nerves. All such ganglia are made up of
pseudounipolar nerve cells with a T-shaped arrangement of their process; one process arises
from the cell body which then divides into a central and a peripheral process. The ganglion is
crescentic or semilunar in shape, with its convexity directed anterolaterally. The three divisions
of the trigeminal nerve emerge from this convexity. The posterior concavity of the ganglion
receives the sensory root of the nerve.

extraocular muscles are as follows:
Voluntary Muscles I. Four recti a. Superior rectos b. Inferior rectos c. Medial rectos cL Lateral
rectus 2. 'Bin obliqui a Superior oblique b. Inferior oblique 3. The levator palpebrae superioris
elevates the upper eyelid.
Involuntary Muscles 1. The superior tarsal muscle is the deeper portion of the levator palpebrae
superioris. It is inserted on the upper margin of the superior tarsus. It elevates the upper eyelid.
2. The inferior tarsal muscle extends from the fascial sheath of the inferior rectus and inferior
oblique to the lower margin of the inferior tarsus. It possibly depresses the lower eyelid. 3. The
orbital& bridges the inferior orbital fissure. Its action is uncertain.
The voluntary muscles are miniature ribbon muscles, having short tendons of origin and long
tendons of insertion.
Origin and Insertion of Voluntary Muscles Origin The four real arise from a common annular
tendon or tclidiooin iiag that is amulet] to the orbital surface of the apex of the orbit. The lateral
rectos has an additional small tendinous head, which arises from the orbital surface of the
greater wing of the sphenoid bone lateral to the tendinous ring. The superior oblique arises
from the body of the sphenoid. superomedial to the optic canal.
The inferior oblique arises from the orbital surface of the maxilla, lateral to the lacrimal groove.
The levator palpebrac superioris arises from the orbital surface of the sphenoid bone,
anterosuperior to the optic canal.
Insertion The recti are inserted into the sclera, a little posterior to the limbos. The tendon of the
superior oblique passes through a fibrocanilaginous pulley attached to the trochlear fosse of the
frontal bone. It is inserted into the sclera behind the equator to the eyeball, between the
superior rectos and the lateral rectus. The inferior oblique is fleshy throughout. It passes later-
ally, upwards and backwards below the inferior rectos and then deep to the lateral tutus. The
inferior oblique is inserted close to the superior oblique a little below and posterior to the latter.
The fat tendon of the levator splits into: a. Superior or voluntary lamella b. Inferior or
involuntary lamella. The superior lamella of the levator is inserted into the anterior surface of
the superior tarsus and into the skin of the upper eyelid. The inferior lamella is inserted into the
upper margin of the superior tarsus.
Nerve supply 1. The superior oblique is supplied by the IV cranial or trochkar nerve (SO4). 2.
The lateral rectus is supplied by the VI cranial or abducent nerve (LR6). 3. The remaining five
extraocular muscles—superior, inferior and medial recti; inferior oblique and levator palpebrae
superioris—are all supplied by the III cranial or oculomotor nerve.

movement of the centre of the pupil. The torsions are defined in terms of the direc-tion of
movement of the upper margin of the pupil at 12 o'clock position. d. The movements given
previously can take place in various combinations. 2. Actions of individual muscles are listed in
Table 1A.7.1. 3. Single or pure movements are produced by combined actions of muscles.
Similar actions get added together, while opposing actions cancel each other, enabling pure
movements. a. Upward rotation or elevation: By the superior rectos and the inferior oblique b.
Downward rotation or depression: By the inferior rectos and the superior oblique c. Medial
rotation or adduction: By the medical rectos, the superior rectus and the inferior rectus d.

Course and Relations In front of the ramus of the mandible, the artery passes up-wards across
the lower part of the lateral pterygoid crossing either superficial or deep to the lower had of this
muscle (Fig. IA.8.1). The maxillary artery is divided into three parts by the lateral pterygoid
muscle as follows (Fig. IA.8.2): I. The first (mandibular) part runs horizontally forwards, first
between the neck of the mandible and the spheno-mandibular ligament, below the
auriculotemporal

nerve, and then along the lower border of the lateral pterygoid. 2. The second (pterygoid) part
runs upwards and forwards superficial to the lower head of the lateral pterygoid. 3. The third
(pterygopalatine) part passes between the two heads of the lateral pterygoid and through the
pterygo-maxillary fissure, to enter the pterygopalatine fossa where it lies in front of the
pterygopalatine ganglion.
Branches of First Part of the Maxillary Artery The first part of maxillary artery, i.e. when it
(Table IA.8.1) lies medial to the mandible, gives off the following branches: 1. The deep
auricular artery supplies the external acoustic meatus, the tympanic membrane and the
tempomman-dibular joint. 2. The anterior tympanic branch supplies the middle ear including
the medial surface of the tympanic membrane. 3. The middle meningeal artery is given off in the

mater. It is predominantly a periostcal artery supplying the bone and red bone marrow in the
dipole. 4. The accessory meningeal artery enters the cranial cavity through the foramen ovale.
Apart from the meninges it supplies structures in the infratemporal fossa. S. The inferior
alveolar artery runs downwards and for-wards medial to the ramus of the mandible, enters the
mandibular canal in which it runs downwards and for-wards supplying teeth and surrounding
bone and then gives off a small branch through the mental foramen to anastomose with other
vessels on the face. Before enter-ing the mandibular canal, the artery gives off a lingual branch
to the tongue and a mylohyoid branch
BRANCHES OF SECOND PART OFTHE MAXILLARY ARTERY The second part of the maxillary
artery, while it is related to lateral pterygoid muscle, mainly gives off its so called muscular
branches (Table IA.8.2). The deep temporal brandies (anterior and posterior) ascend on doe
lateral aspect of the skull deep to the temporalis muscle. Brandies are also given to the
prerygoid muscles and to the masseter. A buccal brands supplies the buccinator muscle.
BRANCHES OF THIRD PART OF THE MAXILLARY ARTERY The third or the terminal part or the
pterygopalatine portion of the maxillary artery lies against the posterolateral aspect of the
maxilla and passes deep between the two heads of lateral pterygoid muscle to enter
pterygopalatine fossa where it gives off the following branches (Table IA.8.3): I. The posterior
superior alveolar artery arises just before the maxillary artery enters the pterygomaxillary
fissure. Descending on the posterior surface of the maxilla it gives off branches that enter canals
in the bone to supply the molar and premolar teeth, and the maxillary sinus. 2. The infraorbital
artery also arises just before the maxil-lary artery enters the pterygomaxillary fissure. Through
the inferior orbital fissure it enters the orbit and runs forwards in relation to the floor of the
orbit, first in the infraorbital groove and then in the infraorbital canal emerging on the face
through the infraorbital foramen. It gives off some orbital branches to the struc-tures in the
orbit and the anterior superior alveolar branches to the incisor and canine teeth. After emerg-
ing on the face, the infraorbital artery gives branches to the lacrimal sac, the nose and the upper
lip. The remaining branches of the third part arise within the pterygopalatine fossa. 3. The
grater palatine artery runs downwards in the greater palatine canal to emerge on the
posterolateral part of the hard palate through the greater palatine foramen. It then runs
forwards near the lateral margin of the palate to reach the incisive canal through which some

gcnioglossus medially and the inferior longitudinal muscle of the tongue laterally. The
horizontal part of the artery is accompanied by the lingual nerve. 0.2. External jugular vein. Ans.
The external jugular vein begins in the substance of parotid gland. It is formed by union of the
posterior auricular vein with the posterior division of the retromandibular vein. It begins within
the lower part of the parotid gland. crosses the sternocleidomastoid obliquely, pierces the
anteroinferior
angle of the roof of the posterior triangle and opens into the subclavian vein (Fig. IA.8.6). The
tributaries of external jugular vein are as follows: I. The posterior external jugular vein 2. The
transverse cervical vein 3. The suprascapular vein 4. The anterior jugular vein.
Fig. 1A.111.13 External jugular vein.

The oblique jugular vein connects the external jugular vein with the internal jugular vein across
the middle one-third of the anterior border of the stemodeidomastoid. The external jugular sew
usually terminates in the subcla. vian vcin,but sometimes it may end in the internal jugular vein.

Apart hum its terminal branches to the thyroid gland, it gives one important branch, the
superior laryngeal artery, which pierces the thyrohyoid membrane in company with the
internal laryngeal nerve. The superior thyroid artery also gives a sternocleidomastoid brands to
that muscle and a cricothyroid branch that anastomoses with the artery of the opposite side in
front of the cricovocal membrane.
Lingual Artery The lingual artery arises from the external carotid artery op-posite the tip of the
greater comu of the hyoid bone. The hyoglossus muscle divides its course into three parts. The
first part lies in the carotid triangle. It loons a character-istic upward loop that permits free
movements of the hyoid bone. The second part lies deep to the hyoglossus along the upper
border of hyoid bone. It is superlidal to the middle constrictor of the pharynx. The third part is
called the arieria profinula linprae or the deep lingual artery that runs upwards along the
anterior border of the hyoglossus and then horizontally forwards on the undersurface of the
tongue as the fourth part. In its vertical course, it lies between the genioglossus medi-ally and
the inferior longitudinal muscle of the tongue laterally.
Facial Artery The facial artery or the external maxillary artery arises from the external carotid
just above the tip of the greater comb of the hyoid bone. It has two parts: I. The first part runs
upwards in the neck as cervical part. 2. The second part runs on the Face as facial part. The
cervical part of the facial artery gives off the following branches: I. Ascending palatine 2.
Tonsillar 3. Submental 4. Glandular branches for the submandibular salivary gland and lymph
nodes. The chief branches of artery on the face are the labial arteries: 1. Superior labial 2.

The occipital artery arises from the posterior surface of the external carotid artery, at about the
same level as the facial artery. Close to its origin it is crossed by the hypoglossal nerve. In the
carotid triangle, the artery gives two sterno-cleidomastoid branches. The upper branch
accompanies the accessory nerve, and the lower branch arises near the origin of the occipital
artery.

PAROTID REGO"
LONG ESSAYS
0.1. Describe the gross anatomy of the parotid gland and add a note on nerve supply.
Or • Describe the relations, blood supply, nerve supply and applied anatomy of the parotid
gland.
Or Describe the external features, relations and nerve supply of the parotid gland. Ans.
There are three pairs of large salivary glands, namely I. Parotid gland 2. Submandibular gland 3.
Sublingual gland. The parotid gland is the largest of the salivary glands weighing about IS g. It is
situated below the external acoustic meatus, between the ramus of the mandible and the
sternockidomastoid muscle. The gland overlaps the masseter muscle anteriorly. The parotid
capsule is formed by the investigating layer of the deep cervical fascia. The fascia splits to
enclose the gland. The superficial lamina is thick and adherent to the gland. The deep lamina is
thin and is attached to the styloid process, the mandible and the tympanic plate. A thickened
portion of the deep lamina, extending between the styloid process and the mandible, forms the
stylornandibular ligament, which separates the parotid gland from the submandibular salivary
gland.
External Features of the Parotid Gland (Fig. 1A.9.1) The gland is pyramidal in shape. The apex of
the pyramid is directed downwards, and the base or superior surface forms the upper end of the
gland. • The four surfaces of the gland are as follows: 1. Superior (base of the pyramid) 2.
Superficial 3. Anteromedial 4. Posteromcdial. The surfaces are separated by three borders: I.
Anterior 2. Posterior 3. Medial. The apex overlaps the posterior belly of the digastric and the
adjoining part of the carotid triangle and the cervical branch of the facial nerve.

The superior surface or base forms the upper end of the gland, which is small and concave,
where the temporal branches of the facial nerve, the superficial temporal vessels and the
auriculotemporal nerve traverse the parotid gland and cross the xygomatic arch
subcutaneously. The superficial surface is theoutersurfaceof the parotid gland and is covered
with skin and superficial fascia containing the anterior branches of the great auricular nerve.
The pm-auricular or superficial parotid lymph nodes may occur on its surface. Prom the
anterior edge of this superficial part, the parotid, the Stensen's duct passes forwards across the
masseter muscle. The anteromedial surface is grooved by the posterior border of the ramus of
the mandible. It is related to the masseur, the lateral surface of the temporomandibular joint,
the posterior border of the mandible, the medial pterygoid and the emerging branches of the
facial nerve. The posteromedial surface is related to (a) the mastoid process, with the
stemocleidomastoid and the posterior belly of the digastric and (b) the styloid process. The
external carotid artery enters the gland through this surface.
Borders The anterior border separates the superficial surface from the anteromedial surface
and extends from the anterior part of the superior surface to the apex. The following structures
emerge at the anterior border: 1. The parotid duct 2. Most of the terminal branches of the facial
nerve 3. The transverse facial vessels. The accessory parotid gland lies along the parotid duct
close to this border. The posterior border separates the superficial surface from the
posteromedial surface. It overlaps the stemocleido-mastoid muscle. The medial edge or border
separates the anteromedial surface from the posteromedial surface. It is related to the lateral
wall of the pharynx.

Parotid Duct Parotid duct is about 5 cm long and emerges from the mid-dle of the anterior
border of the gland. It runs forwards and slightly downwards on the masseter. At the anterior
border of the masseter, it turns medially and pierces the buccal pad of fat and the buccinator
and opens into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the crown of the maxillary second molar
tooth.
Blood Supply The parotid gland is supplied by the external carotid artery and its branches. The
veins drain into the external jugular vein.
Nerve Supply I. Parasympathetic nerves are secretomotor. They reach the gland through the
auriculotemporal nerve. The pre-ganglionic fibres begin in the inferior salivatory nucleus; pass
through the glossopharyngeal nerve, its tympanic branch, the tympanic plexus and the lesser
petrosal nerve; and relay its the otic ganglion. The postganglionic fibres the passglatnhdrough
the auriculotemporal nerve and reach 2. Sympathetic nerves are vasomotor and are derived
from the plexus around the external carotid artery. 3. Sensory nerves to the gland come from
the auriculotem-poral nerve, but the sensory fibres of the great auricular nerve (C2) innervate
the parotid fascia.

General Anatomy
Lymphatic Drainage Lymph drains first to the parotid nodes and from there to the upper deep
cervical nodes.
Applied Anatomy 1. Parotid swellings are very painful due to the unyielding nature of the
parotid fascia. 2. Mumps is an infectious disease of the salivary glands (usually the parotid)
caused by a specific virus. Viral parotitis or mumps characteristically does not sup-purate. Its
complications are orchitis and pancreatitis. 3. A parotid abscess may be caused by spread of
infection from the oral cavity. An abscess may also form due to suppuration of the parotid
lymph nodes draining an infected area. A parotid abscess is best drained by hori-zontal
incisions known as Hilton's method. 4. The facial nerve is preserved during parotidectomy; by
removing the gland in superficial and deep parts sepa-rately, the plane of cleavage is defined by
tracing the nerve from behind forwards. 5. Mixed parotid tumour is a slowly growing lobulated
pain-less tumour without any involvement of the facial nerve. Malignant change of such a
tumour is indicated by pain, rapid growth, fixity with hardness, involvement of the facial nerve
and enlargement of the cervical lymph nodes. 0.2. Describe the course of the facial nerve. Write
Its applied aspects.
Or Give an account on extracranial course relations and branches of the facial nerve. Add a note
on its applied anatomy.
Or Describe extracranial course of the facial nerve under the following headings: exit from
cranial cavity, course In neck and parotid gland, branches, distribution and applied aspects. Ans.
Facial nerve is the VII cranial nerve, which is the nerve of the second branchial arch.
Course and Relations I. The facial nerve is attached tn, the lateral surface of brainstem close to
caudal border of the pons by two roots, motor and sensory. 2. The sensory root is also called the
nernts intermedius. 3. The two roots run laterally and forwards, along with the eighth nerve to
reach the internal acoustic meatus. In the meatus, the motor root lies in a groove on the eighth
nerve, with the sensory root intervening. At the bottom
or fundus of the meatus, the two roots, sensory and motor fuse to form a single trunk, which lies
in the petrous temporal bone. 4. The course of the nerve can be divided within the canal into
three parts by two bends. a. The first part is directed laterally above the vestibule. b. The second
part runs backwards in relation to the medial wall of the middle ear, above the promontory. c.
The third part is directed vertically downwards be-hind the promontory. The sharp first bend is
also called the genu at the junction of the first and second parts. The geniculate ganglion of the
nerve is so called because it lies on the genu. The second bend is gradual and lies between the
promontory and the mastoid antrum. In its extracronial course, the facial nerve crosses the
lateral side of the base of the styloid process, enters the posteromedial surface of the parotid
gland, runs forwards through the gland and behind the neck of the mandible. It divides into its
five terminal branches, which emerge along the anterior border of the parotid gland. Branches
and distribution of the facial nerve are as follows (Fig. IA.9.3): 1. Within the facial canal a.

Branches of facial nerve within the facial canal a. Greater petrosal nerve is It is a branch of
nervus intcrmcdius and is known as the nerve of tear secretion. ii. The greater petrosal nerve
joins deep petrosal nerve near foramen lacerum and passes forwards through pterygoid canal
as nerve of pterygoid canal and emerges into pterygopalatine fossa and enters pterygopalatine
ganglion, where it relays secretomotor fibres. iii. The taste fibres and sympathetic fibres pass
through ganglion together with the sensory fibres of the maxillary nerve. is It is secretomotor to
glands of palate, pharynx and nose and has a few taste fibres for the scattered taste buds on the
oral surface of the palate. b. The nerve to the stapedius: It arises opposite the pyra-mid of the
middle ear and supplies the stapedius muscle. It damps excessive vibrations of the stapes
caused by high-pitched sounds. In paralysis of the muscle, even normal sounds appear too loud,
and it is known as hyperacusis. c. The ehorda tympani arises in the vertical part of the facial
canal about 6 mm above the stylomastoid foramen. It runs upwards and forwards in a bony
canal. It enters the middle ear and runs forwards in close relation to the tympanic membrane. It
leaves the middle ear by passing through the petrotym-panic fissure. It then passes medial to
the spine of the sphenoid and enters the infratemporal fossa. Chorda tympani joins the lingual
nerve through which it is distributed. It carries (a) preganglionic secretomotor fibres to the
submandibular ganglion for supply of the submandibular and sublingual salivary glands and
taste fibres from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue. B. The branches of facial nerve at its exit
from the scylomastaid foramen a. The posterior auricular nerve arises just below the
stylomastoid foramen. It ascends between the mastoid process and the external acoustic meatus
and supplies i. the auricularis posterior, ii the oocipitalis and the intrinsic muscles on the back of
the auricle.
b. The digastric branch arises dose to the posterior amine-larnaveandsuppliesthe posterior
belly of thedigastric. c. The stylohyoid branch, which may arise with digastric branch, supplies
the stylohyoid muscle. 3. Terminal branches within the parotid gland a. The temporal branches
cross the zygomatic arch and supply i. the auricularis anterior, ii. the auricularis superior, iii. the
intrinsic muscles on the lateral side of the ear, iv. the frontalis, v. the orbicularis oculi and vi. the
corrugator supercilii. b. The zygomatk branches run across the zygomatic bone and supply the
orbicularis oculi. c. The buccal branches are two in number. The upper buccal branch runs
above the parotid duct and the lower buccal branch below the duct. They supply muscles in that
vicinity. d. The marginal mandibular branch runs below the an-gle of the mandible deep to the
platysma. It crosses the body of the mandible and supplies muscles of the lower lip and chin. e.
The cervical brand; emerges from the apex of the parotid gland and runs downwards and
forwards in the neck to supply the platysma.
Applied Aspects of Facial Nerve The symptoms according to level of injury of facial nerve are
shown in Fig. IA.9.4. Symptoms according to level of injury of facial nerve I. A lesion higher up in

2. A lesion still higher above the origin of the nerve to gapedius results in hyperacusis. These are
all lesions of the lower motor neuron (infranuclear). 3. A typical upper motor neuron lesion
(supranuclear) paralyses the lower part of the face but not the upper
(forehead and orbicularis oculi). The upper part of the facial nerve nucleus that innervates
upper musculature is supplied by the cerebral cortex of both sides whereas the lower part
which innervates lower face receives only contmlateral cortical fibres.
SHORT ESSAYS
0.1. Extrecranlal course of facial nerve. Ans. In its extracranial course, the facial nerve after
leaving the skull through the stylomastoid foramen crosses the lateral side of the base of the
styloid process and enters the postero-medial surface of the parotid gland, runs forwards
through the gland and divides into its five terminal branches that emerge along the anterior
border of the parotid gland.
Branches and Distribution I. Branches of facial nerve at its exit from the stylomas-toid foramen:
a. 'The posterior auricular nerve arises just below the stylomastoid foramen and supplies (a) the
aurkula-ris posterior, (b) the occipitalis and (c) the intrinsic muscles on the back of the auricle.
b. The digastric branch arises close to the posterior an-riadar nerve. It is short and supplies the
posterior belly of the digastric. c. The stylohyoid branch, which may arise with digastric branch,
is long and supplies the stylohyoid muscle. 2. Terminal branches within the parotid gland: a. The
temporal branches cross the zygomatic arch and supply (a) the auricularis anterior, (b) the
auricularis superior, (c) the intrinsic muscles on lateral side of the ear, (d) the frontalis, (e) the
orbicularis oculi and (f) the corrugator supercilii. b. The zygomatic branches run across the
zygomatic bone and supply the orbicularis oculi. c. The buccal branches are two in number. The
upper buccal branch runs above the parotid duct and the tower buccal branch .below the duct.
They supply muscles in that region. d. The marginal mandibular brand; runs below the angle of
the mandible deep to the platysma. It crosses the body of the mandible and supplies muscles of
the lower lip and chin. e. The cervical branch emerges from the apex of the parotid gland and
runs downwards and forwards in the neck to supply the platysma. 3. Communicating branches:
For effective coordination between the movements of the muscles of the first,
second and third branchial arches, the motor nerves of the three arches communicate with each
other. The fa-cial nerve also communicates with the sensory nerves distributed over its motor
territory. 0.2. Connections, course and distribution of chorda tympani. Ans. The chorda tympani
arises in the vertical part of the facial canal about 6 mm above the stylomastoid foramen. It runs
upwards and forwards in a bony canal and enters the middle ear and runs forwards in dose
relation to the tympanic membrane. It leaves the middle ear by passing through the
petrotympanic fissure. It then passes medial to the spine of the sphenoid and enters the
infratemporal fossa. Here, it joins the lingual nerve through which it is distributed. It carries (a)
preganglionic secretomotor fibres to the submandibular ganglion for supply of the
submandibular and sublingual salivary glands and (b) taste fibres from the anterior two-thirds
of the tongue. Q.3. Beginning, course, termination and relations of parotid duct Ans. Parotid duct
is thick walled and is about 5 cm long. It emerges from the middle of the anterior border of the
gland. It runs forwards and slightly downwards on the masseter. Here its relations are as
follows: Superiorly, I. Accessory parotid gland 2. Upper buccal branch of the facial nerve and the
trans-verse facial vessels.
Inferiorly, The lower buccal branch of the facial nerve. At the anterior border of the masseter, it
turns medially and pierces (a) the buccal pad of fat, (b) the bucoopharyn-pal fascia and (c) the
buccinator. The duct runs forwards for a short distance between the buccinator and the oral
mucosa. Finally, it turns medially and opens into the vestibule of the mouth opposite the max-
illary second molar tooth.

Or Give an account of origin, course, relations and branches of mandibular nerve. Add a note on
Its applied anatomy. Ans.
Mandibular nerve is the largest of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve. It is the nerve of
the first bronchial arch
and supplies all structures derived from the mandibular of first branchial arch. It has both
sensory and motor fibres.
Origin, Course and Relations Mandibular nerve originates in the middle cranial fossa through a
large sensory root and a small motor root (Fig. 1A.10.4). The sensory root arises from the lateral
part of the trigeminal ganglion and leaves the cranial cavity through the foramen ovate. The
motor root lies deep to the trigeminal ganglion and to the sensory root. It also passes through
the foramen ovate to join the sensory root just below the foramen thus forming the main trunk.
The main trunk lies in the infratemporal fossa, on the tensor veli palatini, deep to the lateral
ptery-gold. After a short course, the main trunk divides into a small anterior trunk and a large
posterior trunk.

Masseteric nerve Masseteric nerve emerges at the upper border of the lateral pterygoid just in
front of the temporomandibular joint, passes laterally through the mandibular notch
accompany-ing the masseteric vessels and enters the deep surface of the masseur. It also
supplies the temporomandibular joint. Deep temporal nerves There are two deep temporal
nerves, anterior and posterior that pass between the skull and the lateral pterygoid and enter
the deep surface of the temporalis. The anterior nerve is often a branch of the buccal nerve. The
posterior nerve may arise in common with the masseteric nerve. Nerve to lateral pterygoid
Nerve to lateral pterygoid enters the deep surface of the muscle. It may be an independent
branch or may arise in common with the buccal nerve.
Branches from the posterior trunk Auriculotemporal nerve Auriculotemporal nerve arises by
two roots that run back-wards, encircle the middle meningeal artery and unite to form a single
trunk. Behind the neck of the mandible, it turns upwards and ascends on the temple behind the
super-ficial temporal vessels. 1. The auricular part of the nerve supplies the skin of the tragus
and the upper parts of the pinna, the external acoustic meatus and the tympanic membrane. 2.
The temporal part supplies the skin of the temple in addition. 3. The auriculotemporal nerve
also supplies the parotid gland (secretomotor and also sensory) and the tern. poromandibular
joint.

mandible, medial to the third molar tooth between the ori-gins of the superior constrictor and
the mylohyoid muscles. It soon leaves the gum and runs over the hyoglossus deep to the

movements of temporomandibular joint.
Or Describe the temporomandibular joint under the following headings: type of joint, articular
sur-faces, ligaments, nerve supply, movements and muscles producing movement.
Or Describe the temporomandibular joint under the following headings: articulating bones and
articu-lating surfaces, capsule, Infra-articular disc, liga-ments, movements with muscles
producing it and applied anatomy. Ans.
Temporornandibular joint (TMJ) is a synovial joint of ihc condylar variety.

Articular Surfaces The upper artrular surface is formed by: t. The articular eminence and 2.
Anterior part of the mandibular fosse. The inferior articular surface is formed by 1. The head of
the mandible: The articular surfaces are covered with fibrocartilage. The joint cavity is divided
into upper and lower parts by an intra.articular disc.
Ligaments The ligaments of TMJ arc as follows: I. The fibrous capsule 2. The lateral ligament 3.
The sphenomandibular ligament 4. The stytomandibular ligament. The fibrous capsule is
attached above the articular tuber-cle, the circumference of the mandibular fossa and the squa•
motympanic fissure; and below the neck of the mandible. The capsule is loose above the intro-
articular disc and tight below it. The synovial membrane lines the fibrous capsule and the neck
of the mandible. The lateral or temporomandibular ligament reinforces and strengthens the
lateral part of the capsular ligament. Its fibres arc directed downwards and backwards. It is
attached above the articular tubercle and below the posterolateral aspect of the neck of the
mandible. The sphenomandibular ligament is an accessory ligament. It is attached superiorly to
the spine of the sphenoid and inferiorly to the lingula of the mandibular foramen. It is a remnant
of the dorsal part of Meckel's cartilage. The stylornandibular ligament is another accessory liga-
ment of the joint. It is attached above to the lateral surface of the styloid process and below to
the angle and posterior border of the ramus of the mandible. It represents a thickened part of
the deep cervical fascia, which separates the parotid and submandibular salivary glands.
Articular Disc The articular disc is an oval fibrous plate that divides the joint into an upper and a
lower compartment. The upper compartment permits gliding movements, and the lower
rotatory as well as gliding movements. The disc has a cones-voconvex superior surface and a
concave inferior surface. The periphery of the disc is attached to the fibrous capsule. The disc is
composed of an anterior extension, anterior thick band, intermediate zone, posterior thick band
and bilamellar region. The disc represents the degenerated primitive insertion of lateral
pterygoid.
Relations Lateral: I. Skin and fasciae 2. Parotid gland 3. Temporal branches of the facial nerve.
Medial 1. The tympanic plate separates the joint from the internal carotid artery. 2. Spine of the
sphenoid, with the upper end of the sphe-nomandibular ligament. 3. The auriculotemporal and
chorda tympani nerves. 4. Middle meningeal artery.
Anterior: 1. Lateral pterygoid 2. Masseteric nerve and vessels.

Superficial temporal vessels 3. Auriculotemporal nerve. Superior: 1. Middle cranial fosse 2.
Middle meningeal vessels. lejirion Maxillary artery and vein.
Blood Supply Branches from superficial temporal and maxillary arteries. Veins follow the
arteries.
Nerve Supply Auriculotemporal nerve and masseteric nerve.
Movements The movements at the joint can be divided into those be-tween the upper articular
surface and the articular disc, i.e. meniscotemporal compartment and those between the disc
and the head of the mandible, i.e. meniscomandibular com-partment. Most movements occur
simultaneously at the right and left temporomandibular joints. In forward movement or
protraction of the mandible, the articular disc glides forwards over the upper articular sur-face,
the head of the mandible moving with it. The reversal of this movement is called retraction. In
slight opening of the mouth or depression of the mandi-bk, the head of the mandible moves on
the undersurfiree of the disc like a hinge. In wide opening of the mouth, this hinge-like
movement is followed by gliding of the disc and the head of the mandible, as in protraction. At
the end of this movement, the head comes to lie under thearticular tubercle. These movements
are reversed in closing the mouth or elevation of the mandible.

Chewing movements involve side-to-side movements of the mandible. In these movements, the
head of right side glides forwards along with the disc as in protraction, but the head of the left
side merely rotates on a vertical axis. Asa result of this, the chin moves forwards and to left side
(the side on which no gliding hasoccurred). Alternate movements of this kind on the two sides
result in side-to-side movements of the jaw.
Muscles Producing Movements Depression is brought about mainly by the lateral pterygoid. The
digastric, geniohyoid and mylohyoid muscles help when the mouth is opened wide or against
resistance. During contraction, the lateral pterygoid rotates the head of the mandible and opens
the mouth. Dosing wide opening, it pulls the articular disc forwards. So movement occurs in
both the compartments. It is also done passively by gravity. Elevation is brought about by the
masseter, the tempora-Es and the medial pterygoid muscles of both sides. These are antigravity
muscles.
Protrusion is done by the lateral and medial pterygoids. Retraction is produced by the posterior
fibres of the tern-poralis. It may be resisted by the middle and deep fibres of the masseter, the
digastric and geniohyoid muscles. Lateral or side-to-side movements, e.g. turning the chin to left
side are produced by left lateral pterygoid and right medial pterygoid and vice versa.
Applied Anatomy I. Dislocation of mandible During excessive opening of the mouth, or during a
convulsion, the head of the mandi-ble of one or both sides may slip anteriorly into the in-
fratemporal fosse, as a result of which there is inability to close the mouth. 2. Derangement of
the articular disc may result from any injury, like overclosule or malocclusion. This gives rise to
clicking and pain during movements of the jaw. 3. In operations on the joint, the facial nerve
should be preserved with care.

periosteum of the orbit and the orbitalis muscle. b. Palatine branches The greater or anterior
palatine nerve descends through the greater palatine canal and supplies the hard palate and the
lateral wall of the nose. The lesser or middle and posterior palatine nerves supply the soft palate
and the tonsil. c. Nasal branches enter the nasal cavity through the sphenopalatioe for-amen.
The lateral posterior supe-rior nasal nerve, about six in number, supply the posterior part of the
superior and middle conchae. The medial posterior superior nasal nerves, two or three in
number, supply the posterior part of the roof of the nose and of the nasal septum. The nasopala-
tine nerve descends up to the anterior part of the hard palate through the incisive for-amen. d.
The pharyngal branch passes through the palatine-vaginal canal and supplies the part of the
nasophar-ynx behind the auditory tube. e. Lacrimal branch: The postganglionic fibres pass back
into the maxillary nerve to leave through its zygo-snatic nerve and its xygomaticotemporal
branch, a communicating branch to lacrimal nerve to supply the secretomotor fibres to the
lacrimal gland.

0.6. Styloid process of temporal bone. Ans. The styloid process with its attached structures is
called the styloid apparatus. The structures attached to the process are as follows: I. The
stylohyoid, styloglossus and stylopharyngeus muscles. 2. The stylohyoid and stylomandibular
ligaments. The five attachments resemble the reins of a chariot. I. The styloid process is a long,
slender and pointed bony process projecting downwards, forwards and slightly medially from
the temporal bone. 2. It descends between the external and internal carotid arteries to reach the
side of the pharynx. It is interposed between the parotid gland laterally and the internal jugular
vein medially. 3. The styloglossus muscle arises from the tip and adjacent part of the anterior
surface of the styloid process as well as from the upper end of the stylohyoid ligament. During
swallowing, it pulls the tongue upwards and backwards. 4. The stylopharyngeus muscle arises
from the medial sur-face of the base of the styloid process. Along with the glossopharyngeal
nerve it passes between the external and internal carotid arteries, enters the pharynx through
the gap between the superior and middle constrictors. it helps to lift the larynx during
swallowing and phonation. 5. The stylohyoid ligament extends front the tip of the styloid
process to the lesser cornu of the hyoid bone. 0.7. Attachments, relations, nerve supply and

Describe submandibular gland. Add a note on its Innervation.
Ans.
Submandibular salivary gland is one of the major salivary glands, situated in the anterior part of
the digastric triangle. The gland is about the size of a walnut and is roughly J-shaped. It is
indented by the posterior border of the **hyoid which divides it into a large part superficial to
the muscle that fills the digastric triangle and a small part lying deep to the muscle.
Superficial Part It has three surfaces, namely I. Inferior 2. Lateral 3. Medial surfaces. The gland is
partially enclosed between two layers of deep cervical fascia (Fig. 1A.11.4). The superficial layer
of fascia covers the inferior surface of the gland and is attached to the base of the mandible. The
deep layer covers the medial surface of the gland and is attached to the mylohyoid line of the
mandible. Superficially, the submandibular gland is crossed by the facial vein and sometimes by
the marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve. The lame cuhmendihular lymnh

Deep Part This part is smaller in sire and lies deep to the mylohyoid and superficial to the
hyoglossus and the styloglossus. Poste-riorly it is continuous with the superficial part around
the posterior border of the mylohyoid. Anteriorly it extends up to the sublingual gland.
Relations Superficial or the inferior surface of submandibular gland is covered by the following:
I. Skin 2. Piatysma 3. Cervical branch of the facial nerve 4. Deep fascia 5. Facial vein 6.
Submandibular lymph nodes. The lateral surface is related to the following: I. The

The medial surface may be divided into three parts:
General Anatomy
In the terminal part of its course, the duct lies immediately below the mucosa of the floor of the
mouth and opens at the sublingual caruncle or papilla just lateral to the frenulum.
Blood Supply and Lymphatic Drainage The blood supply is through the facial artery. The veins
drain into the common facial or lingual vein. Lymph passes to submandibnlar lymph nodes (Fig.
Ita.11.5).
Nerve Supply Submandibular gland is supplied by branches from the sub-mandibular ganglion.
These brandies convey the following: 1. Secretomotor fibres 2. Sensory fibres from the lingual
nerve 3. Vasomotor sympathetic fibres from the plexus on the facial artery. The secretomotor
pathway begins in the superior salivary nucleus. Preganglionic fibres pass through the sensory
root of the facial nerve, the geniculate ganglion, the facial nerve, the chords tympani and the
lingual nerve to reads the sub-mandibular ganglion. Postgattglionic fibres emerge from the
ganglion and enter the submandibular gland. Sympathetic fibres from the superior cervical
ganglion reads this gland either by the way of other nerves or along thevessels. Stimulation of
parasympathetic fibres produces watery secretion from these glands, while the stimulation of
sympa-thetic fibres is said to produce a viscid one.

The submandibular lymph nodes are larger and more numerous than the submental. They form
a chain of three to eight nodes situated largely along the upper border of the submandibular
gland. Some of these nodes are constant. The largest and the most constant node is close to the
point at which the facial artery crosses the mandible. It is known as the Stahr's lymph node.
These nodes receive the efferent vessels from the buccal and mandibular nodes, along the facial
vein and artery, and therefore, drain a large part of the face either directly or indirectly. 0.7.

persists as the pyramidal lobe. The gland becomes functional during third month of
development.
Parts The gland consists of right and left lateral lobes that are joined to each other by the
isthmus. A third, pyramidal, lobe may project upwards from the isthmus or from one of the
lobes. Accessory thyroid glands arc sometimes found as small detached masses of thyroid tissue
in the vicinity of the lobes or above the isthmus.
Situation and Extent I. The gland lies against vertebrae C5, C6, C7 and TI, embracing the upper
part of the trachea. 2. Each lobe extends from the middle of the thyroid cartilage to the fourth or
fifth tracheal ring. 3. The isthmus extends from the second to the fourth tracheal ring.
Dimensions and Weight Each lobe measures about 5 cm X 2.5 cm X 2.5 cm, and the isthmus 1.2
can X 1.2 cm; the gland weighs roughly about 25 g. However, it is larger in females than in maks,
and further increases in size during menstruation and pregnancy.
Capsules of Thyroid (Fig. 1A.12.1) t. The peripheral condensation of the connective tissue of the
gland forms the true capsule. A dense capillary plexus is present deep to the true capsule; hence
the thyroid is removed along with the true capsule during operations to avoid haemorrhage. 2.
The false capsule is derived from the pretracheal layer of the deep cervical fascia. It is thin along
posterior border of the lobes, but thick on the inner surface of the gland

continues along the upper border of the isthmus to anasto-Mese with its fellow of the opposite
side. The posterior branch descends on the posterior border of the lobe and anastomoses with
the ascending branch of the inferior thyroid artery. The inferior thyroid artery is a branch of the
thyrocervi-cal trunk which arises from the subclavian artery. It reaches the lower pole of the
gland and gives off branches to adja-cent structures. The artery divides into 4-5 glandular
branches which pierce the fascia separately to reach the lower part of the gland. One ascending
branch anastomoses with the posterior branch of the superior thyroid artery and supplies the
parathyroid glands. The superior thyroid artery supplies the upper one-third of the lobe and the
upper half of the isthmus and that the inferior thyroid artery supplies the lower two-thirds of
the lobe and the lower half of the isthmus. Sometimes, the thyroid is also supplied by the lowest
thy-roid artery (thyroidea iota artery) which arises from the brachiocephalk trunk or directly
from the arch of the aorta. Accessory thyroid arteries arising from tracheal and oe-sophageal
arteries also supply the thyroid. Venous Drainage The superior, middle and inferior thyroid
veins drain the thyroid gland. The superior thyroid vein which emerges at the upper pole ends
either in the internal jugular vein or in the common facial vein. The middle thyroid vein is a
short, wide channel which emerges at the middle of the lobe and soon enters the inter-nal
jugular vein. The inferior thyroid veins emerge at the lower border of the isthmus. They form a
plexus in front of the trachea, and drain into the left brachioccphalic vein.
A fourth thyroid vein (of Kosher) may emerge between the middle and inferior veins and drain
into the internal jugular vein. 0.3. Styloid process of temporal bone. Ans. The styloid process is a
long, slender and pointed bony pro-cess projecting downwards, fonvards and slightly medially
from the temporal bone (Fig, IA.12.6). It descends between the external and internal carotid
arteries to reach the side of the pharynx. It is interposed between the parotid gland later-ally
and the internal jugular vein medially. The styloid process with its attached structures is called
the styloid apparatus. The structures attached to the process are the stylohyoid, styloglossus
and stylopharyngeus muscles, and the stylohyoid and stylomandibular ligaments. The five
attachments resemble the reins of a chariot.
Flg.1A.12.6 Stylord process.

The apparatus is of diverse origin: The styloid process and the stylohyoid ligament and muscle
are derivatives of the second branchial arch, the stylopharyngeus is derived front the third arch
and the styloglossus from occipital myotomes.

Or Give an account of the position, relations, blood supply and development of palatine tonsil.
Add a note on Its applied anatomy.
Or Give an account of the position, relations and blood supply of palatine tonsil. Add a note on
development. Ans. The palatine tonsil is an almond-shaped lymphoid tissue that occupies the
tonsillar fossa between the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal arches visible through the
mouth (Fig. 1A.19.1). The palatine tonsil has-. • Two surfaces—medial and lateral, • Two
borders—anterior and posterior and • Two poles—upper and lower.
The medial surface is covered by stratified squamous epi-thelium continuous with that of the
mouth. It contains about 12-15 tonsillar crypts. The largest of these is called the intmtonsillar
deft. The lateral surface is covered by a sheet of fascia which forms the capsule of the tonsil. The
capsule is an extension of the pharyngobasilar fascia. It is only loosely attached to the muscular
wall of the pharynx, but anteroinferiorly the capsule is firmly adherent to the side of the
tongue.This firm attachment keeps the tonsil in place during swallowing. lust behind the firm
attachment, the tonsillar artery enters the tonsil by piercing the superior constrictor. The
palatine vein or external palatine or paratonsillar vein descends from the palate in the loose
areolar tissue on the lateral surface of the capsule, and crosses the tonsil before piercing the
wall of the pharynx. The vein may be injured during removal of the tonsil or tonsillectomy. The
bed of the tonsil is formed from by: 1. the pharyngobasilar fascia, 2. the superior constrictor and
palatopharyngeus muscles, I. the buccopharyngeal fascia,

the tongue at the junction of oral and pharyngeal parts. This fold forms the lateral boundary of
the oropharyngeal isth-mus or isthmus of farces. The posterior fold is called the
palutopharyngeal arch or posterior pillar of fauns. It contains the palatopharyngeal muscle
andlorms the posterior bound-ary of the tonsillar fosse and merges inferiorly.with the lat-eral
all of the pharynx. The parts of soft palate are as follows: The palatine aponeurosis which is the
flattened tendon of the tensor veli palatini forms the fibrous basis of the palate. Near the median
plane the aponeurosis splits to enclose the museums uvulae. The levator veli palatini and the
palato-pharyngeus lie on the superior surface of the palatine apo-neurosis. The palatoglossus
lies on the inferior surface of the palatine aponeurosis. The muscles of the soft palate are as
follows: (Fig. IA.14.4): I. Tensor palati (tensor veil palatini) 2. Levator palati (levator veli
palatini) 3. Musculus uvulae 4. Palatoglossus 5. Palatopharyngeus. Muscles of the soft palate are
summarized in Table IA.14.1. Passavam's ridge: Some of the upper fibres of the palato-
pharyngeus pass circularly deep to the mucous membrane of the pharynx, and form a sphincter
internal to the superior constrictor. These fibres constitute Pa.ssavant's muscle which on
contraction raises a ridge called the Passavanes ridge on the posterior all of the nasopharynx.
When the soft palate is elevated it comes in contact with this ridge, the two together dosing the
pharyngeal isthmus between the nasopharynx and the oropharynx.
Table 1A.14.1 Summary of muscles of soft palate
Fig. 1A.14.4 Muscles of the soft palate.

Nerve Supply I. Motor nerves: All muscles of the soft palate except the tensor veli palatini are
supplied by the pharyngeal plexus. The fibres of this plexus are derived from the cranial part of
the accessory nerve through the vagus. The tensor yeli palatini is supplied by the mandibular
nerve. 2. General sensory nerves are derived from (a) the middle and posterior lesser palatine
nerves, the branches of the maxillary nerve and (b) from the glossopharyngeal nerve. 3. Special
sensory or gustatory nerves carrying taste sensa-tions from the oral surface arc contained in the
lesser palatine nerves. The fibres pass through the greater pe-trosal nerve to the geniculate

4. Secreromotor nenrs are also contained in the lesser palatine nerves. They are derived from
the superior salivatory nucleus and travel through the greater petrosal nerve. Movements and
Functions of the Soft Palate The palate controls both the pharyngeal and the oropharyn. seal
isthmus. Through these movements the soft palate plays an important role in chewing,
swallowing, speech, coughing, sneezing, etc. A few specific roles are as follows: I. It isolates the
mouth from the oropharynx during chew-ing, so that breathing is unaffected. 2. It separates the
oropharynx from the nasopharynx dur-ing the second stage of swallowing, so that food does not
enter the nose. 3. By varying the degree of closure of the pharyngeal isth-mus, the quality of
voice can be modified and various consonants correctly pronounced. 4. During sneezing, the
blast of air is appropriately divided and directed through the nasal and oral cavities without
damaging the narrow nose. Similarly during coughing it directs air and sputum into the mouth
and not into the nose.
Blood Supply Arteries I. Greater palatine branch of maxillary artery. Ascending palatine branch
of facial artery. 2. Palatine branch of ascending pharyngeal artery.
Veins They pass to the pterygoid and tonsillar plexuses of veins. Lymphatics Lymphatics drain
into the upper deep cervical and retro-pharyngeal lymph nodes. Development of palate The
premaxilla or primitive is formed by the fusion of me-dial nasal folds; the rest of the palate is
formed by the shelf-like palatine processes of maxilla and horizontal plates of palatine bone.
Most of the palate gets ossified to form the hard palate. The unossificd posterior part of fused
palatal process forms the soft palate. Soft palate comprises epithelium, connective tissue and
muscles. Epithelium is from the ectoderm of maxillary process. The muscles are derived from
first, fourth and sixth bronchial arches and accordingly are innervated by 111,1m-fibular and
vagoacLc.or v complex.
SHORT ESSAYS
0.t Oropharynx. Ans. Oropharynx is the middle part of the pharynx situated behind the oral
cavity. Superiorly, it communicates with the nasopharynx through the pharyngeal or
nasopharyngeal isthmus. In front, it communicates with the oral cavity through the
oropharyngeal isthmus or isthmus of fames. Below, it opens into the laryngopharynx at the level
of the upper border of the epiglottis. Behind, it is supported by the body of the axis vertebra and
the upper part of the body of the third cervical vertebra. Its lateral all pres-ents the palatine
tonsil which lies in the tonsillar fossa. This fosse is bounded anteriorly by the palatoglossal arch,
and posteriorly by the pahtopharmeal arch The puterior wall of the oropharynx is formed
posteriorly by the supe-rior, middle and inferior constrictors of the pharynx (Fig. IA.14.5).
There are several aggregations of lymphoid tissue that constitute Waldeyer's lymphalk ring in

0.1. Describe the lateral wall of nasal cavity. Or Describe the features of the lateral wall of nose
In detail.
Or Describe the lateral wall of nose under following headings: bone formation features,
openings, blood supply and nerve supply. Ans. The lateral wall of the nose is irregular due to the
presence of three shelf-like bony projections called conchae, which increase the surface area of
the nose for effective air-conditioning of the inspired air (Fig. IAA 5.1). The lateral wall
separates the nose from: I. The orbit above, 2. The maxillary sinus below and 3. The lacrimal
groove and nasolacrimal canal in front. The lateral wall can be subdivided into three parts: I.
The vestibule: A small depressed area in the anterior part of lateral wall of nose which is lined
by modified skin containing short. stiff, curved hairs called vibrissae.

The nasal conchae are curved bony projections directed downwards and medially and are as
follows: 1. The inferior concha is an independent bone. 2. The middle concha is a projection
from the medial surface of the edunoidal labyrinth. 3. The superior concha is also a projection
from the medial surface of the ethmoidal labyrinth. This is the smallest concha situated just
above the posterior part of the middle concha. The passages beneath the overhanging conchae
arc known as meatuses of the nose. Each meatus communicates freely with the nasal cavity
proper (Fig. IA.15A). 1. The inferior meatus lies beneath the inferior concha, and is the largest of
the three meatus.. The nasolacrimal duct opens into it, the opening is guarded by the lacri-mal
fold, or Hasner's valve. 2. The middle meatus lies underneath the middle concha. It consists of
the following: a. A roundedelevation produced by the und.erlyingmickfie ethmoidal sinuses
known as the ethmoidal bulls. b. A deep semicircular sulcus below the bulls called the hiatus
semilunaris. c. A short passage at the anterior end of the hiatus known as the infundibulum.

both nasal cavities (Fig. IA.15.10. The bony part is formed almost entirely by: (a) the vomer, and
(b) the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid. Its margins receive contributions from the nasal
spine of the frontal bone, the rostrum of the sphenoid, and the nasal crests of the nasal, palatine
and maxillary bones. The cartilaginous part is formed by: (a) the septal cartilage and (b) the
septal processes of the inferior nasal cartilages. The cuticular part or lower end is formed by
fibrofany tissue covered by skin, The lower margin of the septum is called the columella. The
central part of nasal septum is rarely strictly median; it is usually defected to one or the other
side due to over-growth of one or more of the constituent parts. The septum has (a) four
borders, superior, inferior, anterior and posterior and (b) two surfaces, right and left. Arterial

nr and movements of vocal
Ans. Vocal cords are two folds of mucous membrane on each side in the laryngeal cavity (Fig.
IA.16.1). I. The upper fold is called the vestibular fold, and the lower fold is known as the vocal
fold. The vocal fold is
attached anteriorly to the middle of the angle of the thyroid cartilage on its posterior aspect and
posteriorly to the vocal process of the arytenoid. 2. The space between the vocal folds is called
rims glottidis (Fig. IA.16.2). It is limited posteriorly by an interaryte-noid fold of mucous
membrane. The rims glottides has an anterior intermembranous part (three-fifths) and a
posterior intercartilaginous part. 3. The rims is the narrowest part of the larynx. It is longer (23
mm) in males than in females (17 mm). 4. The vestibular and vocal folds divide the laryngeal
cavity into following three parts: a. The part above the vestibular fold is called the vestibule of

Or Describe anatomy of tongue. Add a note on its development Ans. I. The tongue is situated in
the floor of the mouth. It has an oral part that lies in the mouth, and a pharyngeal part that lies
in the pharynx. The oral and pharyngeal parts are separated by a V-shaped sukus terminalis
(Fig. 1A.17.1). 2. The functions of tongue are taste, speech, mastication and deglutition.

The tongue has following external features: a. Root b. Tip c. Body. The root of the tongue is
attached to the mandible and soft palate above, and to the hyoid bone below. In between the
two bones, it is related to the geniohyoid and mylohyoid muscles. The tip of the tongue forms
the anterior free end which, at rest, lies behind the upper incisor teeth. The hotly of the tongue
has (a) a curved upper surface or dorsum and (b) an inferior surface. The dorsum of the tongue
is divided into (a) an oral part or anterior two-thirds and (b) a pharyngeal part or posterior one-
third, by a faint V.shaped groove, the micas terminalis. The inferior surface is covered with a
smooth mucous membrane, which shows a median fold called the frenulum linguae. On either
side of the frenulum there is a promi-nence produced by the deep lingual veins. More laterally
there is a fold called the pile/ tfimbriata (Fig. IA.17.2). The oral or papillary part of the tongue is
placed on the floor of the mouth. Its margins are free and in contact with the gums and teeth.
The superior surface of the oral part shows a median furrow and is envenni with papillae which
make it rough. The pharyngeal or lymphoid part of the tongue lies behind the palatoglossal
arches and the sulcus terminalis. Its posterior surface called the base of the tongue, forms the
anterior wall of the pharynx. The mucous membrane is devoid of papillae, but has many
lymphoid follicles that collectively constitute the lingual tonsil. Mucous glands are also present.

7. The posteriormost part of the tongue is connected to the epiglottis by three folds of mucous
membrane. These are the median glossoepiglottic fold and the right and left lateral
glossoepiglottic folds. On either side of the median fold there is a depression called the vallecula.
8. Papillae of the tongue are projections of mucous mem-brane or corium which impart the
characteristic rough-ness to anterior two-thirds of the tongue. There are three types of papillae
on the tongue (Fig. 1A.17.3): I. The vallate or &nomad/ate papillae arc situated imme-diately in
front of the sulcus terminalis and are about 8-12 in number. They are large in size 1-2 mm in
diameter. Each papilla is a cylindrical projection surrounded by a circular sulcus, and its walls
are raised above the surface. 2. The fungi form papillae are numerous near the tip and margins
of the tongue, but some of them are also scat-tered over the dorsum. They are distinguished by
their bright red colour.

1. The superior longitudinal muscle lies beneath the mucous membrane. It shortens the tongue
and makes its dorsum concave. 2. The inferior longitudinal muscle is a narrow band lying close
to the inferior surface of the tongue between the genioglossus and the hyoglossus. It shortens
the tongue and makes its dorsum convex. 3. The transverse made extends from the median
septum to the margins. It makes the tongue narrow and elongated. 4. The vertical muscle is
found at the borders of the anterior part of the tongue. it makes the tongue broad and flattened.

Mandible via genioglossus 2. Hyoid bone through hyoglossus 3. Styloid process via styloglossus
4. The palate via palatoglossus.
_intrinsic muscles
—Septum
Genioglossus is a fan-shaped muscle which forms the main bulk of the tongue. It arises from the
upper genial tubercle of the mandible. From here the fibres fan out and run backwards. The
upper fibres are inserted into the tip, the middle fibres into the dorsum, and the lower fibres
into the hyoid bone. The upper fibres retract the tip, the middle fibres depress the tongue, and
the lower fibres pull the posterior part of the tongue forwards and thus protrude the tongue
from the mouth. This muscle if paralysed will fall back on the oropharynx and block the air
passage. 1. The tip of the tongue drains bilaterally to the submental nodes. 2. The right and left
halves of the remaining part of the anterior two-thirds of the tongue drain unilaterally to the
submandibular nodes. A few central lymphatic drain bilaterally to the same nodes. 3. The
posterior one-third of the tongue drains bilaterally to the jugulo-omohyoid nodes; these are
known as the lymph nodes of the tongue.

number of expansions: 1. A tabular sheath 2. The medial check ligament 3. The lateral check
ligament. Facial sheath of eyeball or bulbar fascia is firmly attached posteriorly, to the sclera
around the point of entrance of the optic nerve into the eyeball; anteriorly, to the sclera near the
edge of the cornea; additionally, as the muscles approach the eyeball, the investing fascia
surrounding each muscle blends with the fascia! sheath of the eyeball as the muscles pass
through and continue to their point of attachment. A specialized lower part of the fascia] sheath
of the eyeball is called the suspensory ligament of the eye or the suspensory ligament of
Lockwood, it supports the eyeball.

REGIONAL ANATOMY OF
LONG ESSAY
Q.1. Cervical sympathetic chain. Ans. The cervical part of the sympathetic trunk is located on
each side of the cervical part of the vertebral column, behind the carotid sheath and in front of
the prevertebral fascia (Fig. IA.20.1). It is connected to each cervical spinal nerve by a gray
ramus communicans. There arc no white rani communications in the cervical ganglion region.
Flg.1A.20.1 Cervical part of the sympathetic hunk.
Cervical sympathetic chain is related: I. Anteriorly fO a. Internal carotid artery b. Common

carotid artery c. Carotid sheath d. Inferior thyroid artery 2. Posteriorly to a. Prevertebral fascia
b. Longus capitis and cervicis muscles 2 Transverse processes of the lower six cervical
vertebrae. Ganglia Along the course of the sympathetic trunk in the cervical region three
ganglia, i.e. superior, middle and inferior cervical ganglia, are usually described.
I. Superior cervical ganglion This is the largest of the three ganglia. It is spindle-shaped, and
about 2.5 cm long. It is located just below the skull, opposite the second and third cervical
vertebrae. It is formed by the fusion of the upper four cervical ganglia. It marks the superior
extent of sympathetic trunk. Its branches pass to the following: a. The internal and external
carotid arteries forming plex-uses around these vessels. b. Cervical spinal nerves Cl to C4
through gray rami com-municantes. c. The pharyngeal branches take part in the formation of
the pharyngeal plexus. d. The heart as superior cardiac nerves: the left superior cer-vical cardiac
branch goes to the superficial cardiac plexus whik the right branch goes to the deep cardiac
plexus. 2. Middle cervical ganglion It is the second ganglion inferior to the superior cervical
ganglion along the course of the sympathetic trunk. The middle cervical ganglion is very small
and encountered at about the level of cervical vertebra C6. Branches from this ganglion pass to
the following: a. Cervical spinal nerves C5 and C6 through gray rami comtnunicentes. b. The
heart as middle cardiac nerves which is the largest of the sympathetic cardiac branches. It goes
to the deep cardiac plexus. c. Tracheal and oesophageal branches. iL Thyroid branches
accompany the inferior thyroid artery to the thyroid gland.They also supply the parathymid
glands. 3. Inferior cervical ganglion At the lower end of the cervical part of the sympathetic
trunk the inferior cervical ganglion is formed by the fusion of thc seventh and eighth cervical
ganglia, which becomes very large when it combines with the first thoracic ganglion and forms
the cervicothonkic ganglion (stellate ganglion). The inferior cervical ganglion is situated
anterior to the neck of first rib and the transverse process of cervical vertebra C7, and posterior
to the first part of the subclavian artery and thc origin of the ver-tebral artery. Branches from
this ganglion pass to the following: a. Spinal nerves C7 to T1 through gray rami communicanks
b. The vertebral artery, forming a plexus associated with this vessel c. The heart as inferior
cardiac nerves.
This ganglion also receives white rami communicantes from thoracic spinal nerve TI and,
occasionally, from T2.
Clinical Anatomy I. The head and neck are supplied by sympathetic nerves arising from the
upper four thoracic segments of the spinal cord. Most of these preganglionic fibres pass through
the stellate ganglion to relay in the superior cervical ganglion.

the following: a. Ptosis (i.e. drooping of the upper eyelid) b. Miosis (i.e. constriction of the pupil)
c. Anhydrosis (i.e.loss of sweating on that side of the face) d. Enophthalmos (i.e. retraction of the
eyeball) e. Loss of the ciliospinal reflex (i.e. pinching the skin on the nape of the neck) dots not
produce dilatation of the pupil which normally takes place.
LONG ESSAY
0.1. Describe superolateral surface of cerebrum. Ans. I. The cerebrum is made up of two cerebral
hemispheres which are incompletely separated from each other by the median longitudinal
fissure. 2. The two hemispheres are connected to each other across the median plane by the
corpus callosum. Each hemi-sphere contains a cavity, called the lateral ventricle. Each cerebral
hemisphere has the following external features: Three surfaces I. The superolateral surface 2.
The medial surface 3. The inferior surface. Four borders I. The superomedial border
2. The infrrolateral border 3. The medial orbital border 4. The medial occipital border. Three
poles 1. Frontal pole, at the anterior end 2. Occipital pole, at the posterior end 3. Temporal pole,
at the anterior end of the temporal lobe. Each cerebral hemisphere is divided into four lobes: I.
Frontal 2. Parietal 3. Occipital 4. Temporal. The lobes are best appreciated on the superolateral
surface as in Figure IA.21.1.
