- increased vascularity across bridge of nose, think:
- Liver disease
- Paranasal Sinuses
- -air filled cavities (skull lighter) -contain mucous membranes and cilia that move and excrete secretions -sphenoid, frontal, ethmoid and maxillary
- -soft and hard palate -uvula -pillars (anterior and posterior) -tonsils/adenoids -epiglottis
- Oropharynx
- NERVE - sensory; smell reception and interpretation
- Olfactory CN I
- NERVE - motor, sensory, and parasympathetic; voluntary muscles for swallowing and phonation; sensation of nasopharynx, gag reflex and posterior 1/3 for taste; secretion of salivary glands and carotid reflex
- Glossopharyngeal CN IX
- NERVE - motor, sensory, and parasympathetic; swallowing and voluntary muscles of phonation (guttural speech sounds); sensation behind ear and part of external ear canal
- Vagus CN X
- NERVE - motor; tongue movement for speech sound articulation (L, T, N) and swallowing
- Hypoglossal CN XII
- roof-hard palate; lips; 32 permanent teeth; tongue; salivary glands; gum tissue
- Mouth
- passage for air: humidifies, filters and warms inspired air and conserves heat and moisture during exhalation; identifies odors; gives resonance to laryngeal sounds; comprised of bone and cartilage
- Nose
- absence of flaring (of nostrils), rule out
- respiratory distress
- evaluate olfactory nerve CN I for intactness - rule out:
- anosmia - difficulty smelling or difficulty interpreting smells
- sweet acetone odor may mean
- problems with diabetes -- liver failing
- when you have the client say "ah," you are:
- evaluating glossopharyngeal CN IX and vagus CN X
- the last smell to go as you age is:
- cheddar cheese
- nasal polyp
- -won't know they have it -real easy procedure to just "snip" it out
- herpes simplex
- cold sores
- deficiency of this can cause gums to bleed

- there is a foul smelling odor coming from the child's nose
- the client sticks out his tongue and moves it back and forth. which cranial nerve does this test?
