: : Head/Neck Clinical Correlate Part 1 : : True/False : : These questions were not submitted by the lecturer. : : True/False - October 06, 2011 : : 1. TMD : True? It exists. It's the more recent acronym for what used to be TMJ or TMJD. : : 2. The lateral pterygoid muscle, relative to the other muscles of mastication, is the most closely related to the temporomandibular joint capsule. : T : : 3. In the case of Bell's Palsy, the tongue and the uvula are "mid-line" despite unilateral facial paralysis. : T : : 4. Trigeminal neuralgia most often affects the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve. : T : : 5. The dorsum of the nose is innervated by the ophthalmic division of the autonomic system and the distal lateral (ala) nose is innervated by the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve. : F? The superior (proximal) aspect of the nose is innervated by various branches from the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve. : : 6. The maxillary sinus drains into the lateral nasal wall at the middle nasal meatus. : T - through a groove in there called the hiatus semilunaris : : 7. The roots of the maxillary teeth may extend into the "roof" of the maxillary sinus. : T : : 8. The ostium of the maxillary sinus requires sinus drainage in a direction counter to gravity when standing upright. : T - this is why it's more likely than the other sinuses to become blocked : : 9. The lingual nerve enters the floor of the mouth lateral to the submandibular duct, then inferior, and finally medial. : T? : : True/False - 2010 : : 1. Dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint may involve "clicking." : T : : 2. Injury of the facial nerve at the stylomastoid foramen does not affect taste to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. : T : : 3. Bell's palsy affects the glossopharyngeal nerve as it exits the jugular foramen. : F? - Bell's affects the facial nerve specifically, and I don't know of any communication between glossopharyngeal and facial upstream of this point. : : 4. Trigeminal neuralgia is most commonly triggered by sensory stimulation of the ophthalmic nerve distribution. : F - of the maxillary distribution : : 5. A trigger at the upper lip for trigeminal neuralgia indicates involvement of the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve. : F - maxillary, mandibular would be lower lip : : 6. The paranasal sinuses are air sinuses and the dural venous sinuses are blood sinuses. : T : : 7. A palatine torus may involve the hard palate. : T - what's the origin of the use of "torus" in reference to these?
