    Study Notes

    Sinuses

    • Sinuses are hollow spaces located in the skull around the nasal cavity.
    • There are four sinuses in total.
    • One of the main functions of sinuses is to make the skull lighter.
    • The cells lining the sinuses produce mucus, which has a number of important functions.
    • The mucus produced by the sinuses moistens and drains into the nasal cavity.

    Palate Structure

    • The hard palate is a bony plate forming the roof of the mouth, situated between the upper teeth.
    • The hard palate has ridges that aid in manipulating and swallowing food, as well as facilitating taste and drinking water.

    Soft Palate Characteristics

    • The soft palate is a soft, muscular tissue located at the back of the mouth.
    • It extends from the hard palate in a caudal direction.
    • The soft palate serves as a divider between the oropharynx and nasopharynx.

    Soft Palate in Brachycephalic Dogs

    • Brachycephalic dogs often have an excessively long soft palate.
    • This elongated soft palate can cover the airways when breathing, resulting in noisy breathing.

    Pharynx (Throat)

    • Composed of three regions: Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, and Laryngopharynx

    Nasopharynx

    • Located between the nasal cavity and the caudal end of the soft palate
    • Above the soft palate

    Oropharynx

    • Located between the oral cavity and the caudal end of the soft palate
    • Below the soft palate

    Laryngopharynx

    • Located in front of the larynx, behind the soft palate
    • Pathway of food and air cross in this region

    Epiglottis

    • A “V” shaped cartilage
    • Prevents food from entering the trachea

    Pharyngeal Tonsils

    • Located in the nasopharynx
