Speech Pathology 1

Muscles of the Velopharyngeal Mechanism

QuestionAnswer
What are the Palatal Muscles? TMPPL- (templ)1)Tensor Veli Palatini 2)Musculus Uvula 3)Palatoglossus 4)Palatopharyngeus 5)Levator Veli Palatini
What are the Pharyngeal Muscles ? MISSS- (Miss)1)Middle Constrictor 2)Inferior Constrictor 3)Stylopharyngeus 4)Salpingopharyngeus 5) Superior Constrictor
2 functions: Tense & lowers palatal aponeurosis, pulls anterolateral wall of the Eustachian tube away from medial wall (opens the tube).C:inferior, winding around the hamulus, becomes tendinous and then courses medially toward center of soft palate Function & course of Tensor Veli Palatini
O: Medial pterygoid plate of the sphenoid and anterolateral wall of the Eustachian tube.I: Into aponeurosis and blends with fibers from other muscles O & I for Tensor Veli Palatini
What forms bulk of the soft palate? Levator Veli Palatini
C:inferior, medial and anterior F:pulls soft palate posteriorly and superiorly toward posterior pharyngeal wall Levator Veli Palatini
O:petrous portion of the temporal bone, medial aspect of Eustachian tube I:into soft palate blending with fibers from other side to form a sling Levator Veli Palatini
O:nasal spine of palatine bone I:fibers terminate near uvula Musculus Uvula
C:posteriorly along upper surface of soft palate toward uvula F:bulks & stiffens soft palate so that other muscles act more effectively Musculus Uvula
muscle found in the Anterior faucial pillar (1st palatal arch) Palatoglossus
O:lower surface of palatal aponeurosis, interwoven with other fibers I:sides of tongue Palatoglossus
C:inferior F:may pull palate down or sides of tongue up Palatoglossus
Muscle that lies in the Posterior faucial pillar Palatopharyngeus
O:lower surface of palatal aponeurosis, interwoven with other fibers I:lateral wall of pharynx and thyroid cartilage Palatopharyngeus
C:inferior F:draws soft palate posteriorly Palatopharyngeus
forms the nasopharyngeal and upper oropharyngeal walls Superior Constrictor
O:sides of soft palate and tongue, and in lateral pharyngeal wall I:midline pharyngeal raphe Superior Constrictor
C:curves posteriorly and then medially F:narrows nasopharyngeal and upper oropharyngeal space Superior Constrictor
O:hyoid bone I:midline pharyngeal raphe Middle Constrictor
C:radiates as the fibers course posteriorly F:narrows oropharyngeal space Middle Constrictor
O:thyroid cartilageI:midline raphe Inferior Constrictor
C:diverse as fibers course posteriorly and medially F:narrows laryngopharyngeal space and upper esophageal sphincter Inferior Constrictor
O:styloid process of the temporal bone I: fibers blend with constrictors Stylopharyngeus
C:down side of pharynx F:elevate and dilate pharynx Stylopharyngeus
O:inferior border of the medial aspect of the Eustachian tube I:fibers blend with palatopharyngeus muscles Salpingopharyngeus
C:downwardF:draws lateral walls of pharynx upward and medially Salpingopharyngeus

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
