100
This sensory nerve is involved in visual acuity and peripheral vision.
What is the optic nerve (cranial nerve II).
100
This ring-like cervical vertebrae has no spinous process or body.
What is C1 or Atlas.
100
The genioglossus, hypoglossus, styloglossus, and palatoglossus muscles all act to move this.
What is the tongue.
200
This procedure opens a narrow artery.
What is an endoartectomy.
200
This cheek muscle is involved in chewing, smiling, and blowing.
What is the buccinator.
200
Cranial nerve IV, the trochlear nerve, is responsible for this movement.
What is upward eye movement.
200
This is the strongest cervical vertebrae.
What is C2 or Axis.
200
During this phase/stage of swallowing, sequential contraction of all three pharyngeal constrictor muscles forces the food bolus inferiorly into the esophagus.
What is phase/stage three.
300
This congenital disorder can be a result of a fibrous tumor that develops before or shortly after birth. It is a contraction of cervical muscles that produces twisting of the neck and slanting of the head.
What is congenital torticollis.
300
The location of orbicularis oris is here.
What is surrounding the mouth and lips.
300
This cranial nerve is responsible for lateral eye movement.
What is the abducent nerve (cranial nerve VI).
300
This cervical vertebrae has the longest spinous process.
What is C7.
300
The tensor veli palatini, elevator veli palatini, palatoglossus, palatophyaryngeus, and musculus uvulae muscles all act on this.
What is the soft palate.
400
This transverse incision through the skin of the neck and the anterior wall of the trachea establishes an airway in patients with upper airway obstruction or respiratory failure.
What is a trachiostomy.
400
This muscle of the soft palate shortens the uvula and pulls it superiorly.
What is the musculus uvulae.
400
The glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX) is responsible for this sensory action.
What is taste on the posterior 1/3 of the tongue.
400
Articulation of C1 and C2 occurs at this joint.
What is the atlanto-axial joint.
400
This muscle elevates the soft palate during swallowing and yawning.
What is the levator veli palatini.
500
These are the symptoms of Horner Syndrome (list 3).
What are pupillary constriction, ptosis (drooping of the eye lid), sinking of the eyeball, vasodilation, and absence of sweat on the face and neck.
500
This fan shaped muscle of the tongue constitutes the bulk of the tongue.
What is the genioglossus.
500
These are the sensory and motor functions of cranial nerve V, the trigeminal nerve.
What are sensory input from the forehead and lower jaw, and motor function of the muscles involved in biting and chewing.
500
This is the location of the hyoid bone.
What is level with the C3 vertebrae, and angled between the mandible and thyroid cartilage.
500
A food bolus is acted upon in these two ways during phase/stage one of swallowing.
What are compression against the palate, and movement from the mouth into the oral pharynx.
