Pharynx
(P 439-445)
It is the muscular and common canal for both digestive system and respiratory system. It extends from the base of the skull to the level of the 6th cervical vertebra where it becomes the esophagus. The pharynx may be divided into 3 parts:nasal part, oral part, and laryngeal part
1. Nasal part (nasopharynx):
· Between the base of the skull and the level of the the soft palate
Posterior to the nose
· Main structures—
pharyngeal opening of the auditory tube,
tubal torus / elevation (咽鼓管圆枕),
pharyngeal recess,
tubal tonsil 咽鼓管扁桃体
/ pharyngeal tonsil(Post. part of Sup.wall)
2. Oral part (oropharynx)
* between the level of soft palate and superior border of the epiglottis; posterior to the oral cavity
· * Main structures:
· Palate tonsil lies in the tonsil-fossa between the palatoglossal arch and palatopharyngeal arch
· Oropharyngeal isthmus is bounded by the uvula, palatoglossal arches and base of the tongue. It is a communication between the oral cavity and oropharynx.
3. Laryngeal part (laryngopharynx)
(1) It lies posterior to the larynx, and between the level of the epiglottis and level of the 6th cervical vertebra.
(2) Main structures:
*Piriform fossa (recess)梨状隐窝 lies on the each side of the laryngeal orifice.
* fold for laryngeal n.
*It is communicats antrainferiorly with laryngeal cavity through the laryngeal orifice, and continuous inferiorly with esophagus.
Pharyngeal nerves:
1) motor fibers:
· Accessory n. carried by the vagus n.
· Glossopharyngea n. to the stylopharyngeaus
· Mandibular n.(V3) supplied tensor veli palatini
2) sensory fibers:
· Glossopharyngea n.
· Maxillary n.(V2)
Communication of the pharynx
It is continuous with
anteriorly
*nasal cavity through the posterior nasal aperture
**oral cavity through the pharyngeal isthmus
***laryngeal cavity through the laryngeal opening
Laterally
****tympanic cavity through opening of auditory
tube and auditory tube
Inferiorly
*****esophagus
Larynx (P 430-438)
1..The larynx is a part of respiratory passage as well as the organ of phonation.
It lies in the neck region in front of the C3-C6 vertebrae and the laryngopharynx.
It consists of the
laryngeal cartilages,
joints,
mucosa and
muscles.
2. The joints of
laryngeal cartilages:
· (1)cricothyroid
joints
· (2)cricoarytenoid
joints
· (3)thyrohyoid
membrane
· (4) conus elasticus (known as cricothyroid lig.)
It extends from cricoid cartilage to the thyroid cartilage and arytenoid cartilages.
*Its superior border is free and forms vocal lig.(声韧带).
*Its anterior part is called as median cricothyroid lig..
(5) quadrangular membrane (方形膜)
It extends from lateral border of the epiglottic cartilage to the arytenoids cartilage and thyroid cartilage. Its inferior border is free and forms vestibular lig.(室韧带/前庭韧带).
3.laryngeal mm.
*Thy are skeletal mm.. These mm.can open and close the rima glottis(声门); tense and relax vocal fold(声带).
**divided into the extrinsic and intrinsic groups
***supplied by recurrent laryngeal n.
(cricothyroid m. by the external laryngeal n. or external br .)
superior laryngeal n.
vagus nerve
recurrent laryngeal n.
4. Laryngeal cavity:
*1) vestibular fold and rima vestibuli:(前庭襞和前庭裂)
The fold—vestibular lig.+ mucosa
The rima—between the both vestibular folds
*2) vocal fold and rima glottidis: (声带和声门裂)
The fold—vocal lig.+ muscle in the vocal fold+ mucosa
The rima–-a narrowest space in the laryngeal cavity between the both vocal folds, and between both arytenoid cartilages;
*3) division of the laryngeal cavity
(1) vestibule of larynx: it lies between the laryngeal inlet and vestibular fold
(2) intermediate cavity of the larynx and ventricle of larynx
intermediate cavity: between the rima vestibuli and rima glottidis
ventricle of larynx: between vestibular fold and vocal fold of each sides
(3) infraglottic cavity:
between the rima glottidis and laryngeal outlet (at the 6th cervical vertebra)
feature: submucosa tissue is relaxed. So, the region is easy to be oedema (水肿) for inflammation and high hot.
5. Nerves
Superior laryngeal n. divided into the
internal laryngeal br. ( accompanying with superior laryngeal a.-from superior thyroid a., n. piercing thyrohyoid membrane, supplying laryngeal mucosa superior to vocal fold)
external laryngeal br. (accompanying with superior thyroid a., then, a. and n. dividing above the superior pole about 1 cm., supplying cricothyroid m.)
recurrent laryngeal n.
*From vagus nerves in the thorax
*crossing around the the arch of the aorta (left) and right subclavian a.(right)
*crossing with inferior thyroid a.
*Coursing through the posterior to the inferior horn of thyroid cartilage
Supplying others laryngeal mm.and mucosa of inferior to vocal fold
Trachea (cervical part)
Superiorly: connects with larynx
Inferiorly: bifercates the left and right bronchus
Formation: it is formed by the cartilages, smooth muscle, and connectiv tissue.
the cartilage of the trachea show the “C”—shaped, and posterior wall of cartilage is lack.
Nunbor of trachea in neck:6-8
Position of cut the trachea: 3rd-4th;or 4th-5th tracheal cartilages
Relationship: posteiorly—esophagus;
lateriorly—tharoid lobes;
postlateriorly—caroted sheath, laryngeal recurrent n.
Esophagus
3 parts:
3 strictures
*origin part of esophagus, 15 cm from the incisor
**where it is crossed by the left bronchus, 25cm
***where it passes through the diaphragm, 40cm
Arteries arise from
inferior thyroid a;
arch of aorta, thoracic aorta;
posterior intercostal a;
abdorminal aorta;
