ANATOMY OF
OTORHINOLARYNGOLOGY –
HEAD AND NECK SURGERY
+
OBJECTIVES

 TO
DISCUSS THE BASIC ANATOMY RELEVANT IN
ORL-HNS
 EAR (EXTERNAL, MIDDLE, INNER)
 NOSE AND PARANASAL SINUSES
 ORAL CAVITY
 PHARYNX (NASO/ORO/HYPOPHARYNX)
 LARYNX
 NECK
+

EAR
EXTERNAL EAR
MIDDLE EAR
INNER EAR
EAR CANAL
Lateral 1/3 is cartilaginos (cerumen glands and hair follicles)
Medial 2/3 are bony (no cerumen or hair follicles)

The blood supply for the auricle are the branches of ECA:
superficial temporal artery and posterior auricular
+
PROTECTIVE MECHANISMS OF
OUTER EAR
 Acidic pH 6.0-6.5

 Migratory nature of keratin debris

 Normal flora (staph auricularis, staph epidermidis,


corynebacterium, streptococcus, enterococcus, rarely
pseudomonas and fungi)
3 layers of TM:
1. Keratinized squamous epithelium
2. Middle fibrous
3. Middle ear mucosa
EUSTACHIAN TUBE
 2/3 CARTILAGINOUS
 1/3 BONY

AGING LEADS TO INCREASED SLOPE OF THE


TUBE, AS WELL AS INCREASED LENGTH,
DIAMETER, AND EFFICIENCY OF THE OPENING
Vestibular anatomy and physiology

Semicircular canals (coplanar) – angular accelometers


1. Horizontal canals
2. Left anterior (superior), right posterior
3. Right anterior (superior), left posterior

Otolithic organs (linear accelometers)


Saccule: vertical acceleration
Utricle: horizontal acceleration, head tilt
+ NOSE AND PARANASAL SINUSES
+

FUNCTIONS OF THE NOSE:


 OLFACTION, VOICE RESONANCE, HUMIDIFICATION, TEMP
CONTROL, CLEANSING

PSEUDOSTRATIFIED CILIATED COLUMNAR EPITHELIUM: ANTERIOR


BORDER BEGINS AT THE LUMEN NASI;
CILIARY ACTIVITY - CAUSES THE TRANSPORT OF MUCUS, AN
ESSENTIAL DEFENSE MECHANISM, AT A FREQUENCY OF 10-15
BEATS/MIN AND MUCOUS BLANKET STREAMS AT A RATE OF 2.5-7.5
ML/MIN

TURBINATES ARE THE LATERAL BONY PROJECTIONS THAT WILL


INCREASE THE SURFACE AREA FOR HUMIDIFICATION, AIR CLEANING,
TEMP CONTROL
+
+
+ Osteomeatal Complex
 FINAL COMMON PATHWAY FOR DRAINAGE OF
ANTERIOR SINUSES, UNCIINATE PROCESS,
ETHMOID BULLA, HIATUS SEMILUNARIS,
INFUNDIBULUM, MIDDLE TURBINATE, MAXILLARY
SINUS OSTIUM

PNS: LIGHTENS THE WEIGHT OF THE HEAD, HUMIDIFYING


AND HEATING INHALED AIR, INCREASING THE RESONANCE
OF SPEECH, SERVES AS CRUMPLE ZONES

SINUSES PRESENT AT BIRTH:


 MAXILLARY AND ETHMOID SINUSES

FRONTAL SINUS – SIGNIFICANT BY AGE 9


SPHENOID SINUS – SIGNIFICANT BY AGE 10-12
+
+ PHARYNX
 muscular tube lies behind and communicates with the nasal, oral, and laryngeal
cavities
 At the level of C6, the pharynx becomes the esophagus, and anterior to the
pharynx, the larynx becomes the trachea

NASOPHARYNX
Lateral wall: the cartilage of the eustachian tube , the torus tubarius
Anterior: posterior choanae
Posterior: superior pharyngeal constrictor
Superior: posterior body of the sphenoid, basilar component of the occipital bone,
and anterior arch of the atlas

OROPHARYNX
Anterior: base of the tongue, vallecula, glossoepiglootic fold
Posterior: pharyngeal mucosa
Lateral: tonsil, palatopharyngeal and palatoglossal folds

HYPOPHARYNX: 3 PS
+
+
LYMPHATIC
DRAINAGE
•Nasopharynx:
retropharyngeal nodes

•Oropharynx:
jugulodigastric nodal
group (levels II and III)

•Hypopharynx: upper
cervical nodes

+
ORAL
CAVITY
+
+

PHARYNX
LARYNX
Unpaired cartilage
1. Epiglottis
2. Thyroid cartilage
3. Cricoid cartilage

Paired cartilages:
1. Arytenoids
2. Corniculate
3. Cuneiforms
+
NECK
