Question | Answer |

What 2 important structures must one avoid damaging when accessing EQ paranasal sinuses? | infraorbital canal nasolacrimal duct |
Via what structure, and into what compartment, do the paranasal sinuses communicate with the nasal passages? | paranasal sinuses drain into the middle nasal meatus via slit like nasal maxillary apertures that come from both the rostral and caudal maxillary sinuses |
How does the equine conchofrontal sinus communicate with the nasal cavity? | indirectly, via the caudal maxillary sinus |
How do the chonchofrontal and sphenopalatine sinuses communicate with the caudal maxillary sinus? | conchofrontal sinus drains into the dorsal aspect of the caudal maxillary sinus the small sphenopalatine sinus drains into the ventral part of the caudal maxillary sinus |
What are the 2 main mastication muscles in horses? | masseter and pterygoid muscles |
What structures form the conchofrontal sinus? | frontal sinus of the horse is continuous with the dorsal conchal sinus |
How does the size of the paranasal sinuses change as a horse ages? | get bigger |
Which conchal sinus generally communicates with the rostral maxillary sinus? | The ventral conchal sinus is usually associated with the rostral maxillary sinus |
What are ethmoidal conchae? | small scrolls attached to the cribriform plate that separates the nasal cavity from the cranial cavity |
Where is the nasolacrimal duct located? | extends from the medial aspect of the orbit to the floor of the nostrils. Most of its course is in the maxillary bone where it protrudes into the maxillary sinus |
Which cranial nerves course in close proximity to the sphenopalatine sinus? | optic nerve (CN 2) dorsally and cranial nerves 3, 4, 5, and 6 lie lateral to this sinus |
In what direction(s) are the Equine mandible designed to move? | designed to permit lateral to medial movement of the mandible |
What components comprise the TMJ joint? | mandibular condyle and the articular facet on the temporal bone space between is filled with a fibrocartilagenous disc |
Which horse breeds commonly have a pronounced curve of Spee? | Arabs and Welsh ponies |
Which lymph node is the primary receptacle for lymphatic drainage from the mandibular teeth? | mandibular lymph node (Staszyk JVD 2005) |
Which lymph node may be more frequently involved in drainage of infection from maxillary teeth? | medial retropharyngeal (Staszyk JVD 2005) |
What kind of cartilage covers the articular surface of the TMJ joint? | fibrocartilage |
What nerve innervates the TMJ joint? | mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve |
What parts of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone constitute the TMJ joint? | articular tubercle, mandibular fossa, retroarticular process |
which physiological diastema is usually longer in horses/foals? | maxillary |
when the maxillary physiologic diastema is longer than the mandibular diastema, which malocclusion is present? | longer max diastema is not always associated with overjet malocclusion, it is commonly the case in most horses |
what is the growth mechanism of the maxilla? what is the growth mechanism of the mandible? | max: endochondral ossification mand: endhochondral ossification and indpendent epiphyseal growth |
