Welcome to the Oral Cavity Escape Room!

Your in the emergency room where a 30-year-old Female patient has been admitted with a mysterious hole in the roof of her mouth. Your task is to help diagnose her condition by applying the anatomy you've recently learned!

START

Saroch, A., & Pannu, A. K. (2016). A case of hard palate perforation. Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 5(4), 865-867.

Question 01/03

As you gently touch the anterior two-thirds of the patient’s tongue with a probe, she reports feeling the sensation. Can you identify which cranial nerve is responsible for this sensory response?

Question 02/03

As you assess the patient’s oral cavity, consider which salivary gland is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve. Can you identify this gland responsible for producing saliva?

Question 03/03

A 30-year-old female arrives at the ED with a chief complaint of a hole in the roof of her mouth, and an oral examination reveals a 3 cm × 2 cm perforation in the anterior portion of the hard palate. The incisive canal is a normal opening found in the hard palate.

The patient was given an anti-turbeculosis regimen and discharged.

Nice work in the oral cavity escape room!

Welcome to the Nasal Cavity Escape Room!

A five-year-old girl arrives at the emergency room with a one-day history of nasal discharge, a foul smell, and pain in her left nostril, causing her mild distress and anxiety. Her mother recalls seeing her insert a foreign object into her nose, but no object is visible on initial examination. Using a fiberoptic endoscope, you observe grade 3 adenoid hypertrophy, bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy, and watery mucous discharge from the left nostril—your task is to identify the cause of her symptoms and provide relief.

Asiri, M., Al-Khulban, M. S., & Al-Sayed, G. (2023). Foreign Body in the Nasal Cavity: A Case Report. Cureus, 15(12).

Question 01/03

Noticing the bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy, you recall the structures that are closely associated with the nasal anatomy. Can you identify which anatomical structure specifically drains into the inferior meatus?

Correct! The Nasolacrimal duct opens into the inferior meatus. What meatus do the frontal and maxiallry sinuses open into?

Next

Question 02/03

An X-ray confirmed the presence of a spade-shaped metallic foreign body in the nasal cavity. While reviewing the X-ray, you notice the presence of the paranasal sinuses. Can you identify the location of the frontal sinus on the X-ray?

Question 03/03

As you carefully prepare to remove the foreign object in the OR you begin remembering the anatomy of the nasal septum to ensure a safe procedure, can you identify the structures that make up the nasal septum?

A. Ethmoid bone, vomer bone, and septal cartilageB. Maxilla, palatine bone, and nasal conchae C. Sphenoid bone, frontal bone, and zygomatic bone D. Temporal bone, mandible, and maxillary sinus

You removed the foreign object safely! The patient was observed for one day post-operatively, receiving antibiotics, analgesics, and xylometazoline to prevent infection and manage discomfort discharged the next day.

Welcome to the Pharynx Escape Room!

Welcome to the Pharynx Escape Room, where you and your peers will dive into the three regions of the pharynx: nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx. Consider your roles as peer teachers in the lab and how you might teach this information to someone else. Get ready to collaborate, share insights, and master the pharyngeal regions as a team!

START

Question 01/03

If you were preparing to teach the structures of the nasopharynx, consider how you might explain its key components to your peers. For example, you could describe how the nasopharynx connects to the middle ear. Can you identify the structure responsible for this connection, known as the auditory tube?

Question 02/03

If you were prepare to teach the structures of the oropharynx, consider how you would explain its anatomical landmarks to your peers. For example, you might illustrate the role of the palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal folds in separating different regions of the oropharynx. Think about their location relative to the palatine tonsil. Identify the palatine tonsil.

Question 03/03

As you prepare to teach the structures of the laryngopharynx, think about how you would explain its key features to your peers. For example, you might describe the function of the piriform recess in the laryngopharynx. Can you identify the location of the piriform recess?

Congratulations on completing the Pharynx Escape Room! You've successfully navigated the pharyngeal regions and demonstrated your knowledge!
