Palatoglossus M | O: Palatine aponeurosis. I: Side of the tounge. I: CN X. A: Elevates posterior tongue towards soft palate. |
Auricotemporal N | Encircles the middle meningeal A. Passes posteriorly, medial to neck of mandible. Ascends up to provide GSA to auricle and temporal region. **It conveys postsynp. parasymp. secretomotor fibers from the otic ganglion to the parotid gland. |
Stylohyoid M | O: styloid process. I: hyoid bone. I: CN VII. A: elevates and retracts the hyoid. |
Temporomandibular Joint | Hinge synovial joint. Boney articulations: Mandibular fossa and the articular tubercle of the temporal bone. |
Digastric M: posterior belly | O: Mastoid notch of temporal bone. I: Intermediate tendon of greater hyoid horn. I: |
Articular Disc of TMJ | Fibrocartilage that seperates the mandibular fossa (on head of mandible) and the articular tubercle of the temporal bone. Attached to the interal aspect of capsule. |
O: Hard palate, palatine aponeurosis. I: Lateral wall of pharynx. I: CN X. A: Tenses soft palate, pulls pharynx sup/ant/med during swallowing. | |
Palatoglossus M | O: Palatine aponeurosis. I: Side of the tounge. I: CN X. A: Elevates posterior tongue towards soft palate. |
Stylohyoid M | O: styloid process. I: hyoid bone. I: CN VII. A: elevates and retracts the hyoid. |
Salpingopharyngeal fold | Vertical fold of mucous membrane just inferoir to opening of the Eustachian tube. It covers the salpingopharyngeus M. |
Tubal tonsils | Collection of intraepithelial lymphoid tissue in the submucosa of the pharynx near the opening of the Eustachian tube. |
Oropharynx | bounded by: 1. Superiorly: Soft palate. 2. Inferiorly: tongue. 3. laterally: palatoglossal & palatopharyngeal arches. **Extends all the way down to the superior epiglottis |
Palatine tonsil | Infraepithelial lymphoid tissue on each side of the oropharynx between the palatine arches. |
Palatoglossal Arch | contains the palatoglossus M. On both sides of oropharynx, Anterior to palatine tonsil and palatopharyngeal Arch. |
Palatopharyngeal Arch | Contains the palatopharyngeal M. On both sides of oropharynx posterior to palatine tonsil and palatoglossal arch. |

Nasopharynx | Begins posterior to the conchae. ends at the soft palate where the oropharynx starts. **Contains pharyngeal (adnoid) tonsil and orifice for eustachian tubes. |
Orifice to Eustachian Tubes | Visible in the nasopharynx by the torus tubarius (outlining cartilagenous ring which continues into salpingopharyngeal fold). Just inferior is the tubal tonsil |
Uvula | functions to aid in closing off the nasopharynx and the soft palate. |
Glossopharyngeal N | CN IX. Originates in the medulla. Has Sensory ganglia (Sup&Inf Petrosal) and ANS ganglia (otic). It exits the skull via the jugular foramen. Sensory taste SA to posterior 1/3 of tongue. Also secretomotor to the parotid gland. Motor to stylopharyngeus |
