Anatomy of tongue, velar, lip, and jaw muscles Measurement of Upper Articulatory Function (Movement, Force, Sensation)
What are the two types of tongue muscles?
Intrinsic
Extrinsic
How are the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue differentiated? (2 main differences)
Intrinsic tongue muscles are contained in the tongue with no external attachment, whereas extrinsic tongue muscles have an external attachment (e.g. tongue to hyoid bone)
Intrinsic muscles shape and produce fine movements of the tongue, whereas extrinsic muscles are responsible for placement and position of the tongue in the oral cavity
What is the intrinsic tongue muscle responsible for elevating the tip?
The superior longitudinal muscle
Name 2 intrinsic tongue muscles, or two movements intrinsic tongue muscles can produce
- Superior longitudinal - elevates tip
- Inferior longitudinal - pulls tip down and retracts
- Transverse - narrows; pulls edges to midline
- Vertical - pulls tongue down towards the floor of the mouth
What is the type of muscle is the Genioglossus?
An extrinsic tongue muscle
Which extrinsic tongue muscle is responsible for retracting and protruding the tongue?
The Genioglossus
Name 2 extrinsic tongue muscles, or two functions of the extrinsic tongue muscles
Genioglossus - retracts or protrudes
Hyoglossus - pulls sides of tongue down
Palatoglossus - elevates back of tongue (anterior faucial pillars)
Styloglossus - elevates and retracts tongue
The Levator Veli Palatini is a ________ (tongue/lip/velar/jaw) muscle
Velar
Which velar (soft palate) muscle elevates the velum and closes the velopharynx?
Levetor veli palatini
Name 2 velar muscles, or two functions of the velar muscles
Levator veli palatini - elevates velum; closes velopharynx
(Superior pharyngeal constrictor - squeezes lateral and posterior wall of the pharynx against velum)
Uvula - elevates velum (minor role)
Palatoglossus - lowers velum and opens velopharynx (anterior faucial pillar) (note: this is also an extrinsic tongue muscle responsible for elevating the back of the tongue)
Palatopharyngeus - lowers velum; narrows pharynx (posterior faucial pillar)
Tensor palatini - opens the eustachian tube
What type of muscle (tongue, velar, lip, or jaw) is the Orbicularis oris, and what does it do?
Lip
It protrudes, puckers, and closes the lips
Besides protruding, puckering, and closing the lips, what are two other functions of the lip muscles?
Elevating the upper lip
Lowering the lower lip
Name 2 lip muscles, or 2 functions of the lip muscles
Orbicularis oris - protrudes, puckers, and closes the lips
Levator labii superioris - elevates upper lip
Levator anguli oris - elevates upper lip
Zygomaticus major and minor - elevates upper lip
Depressor anguli oris - lowers the lower lip
Depressor labii inferiorus - lowers the lower lip
Mentalis - lowers the lower lip
Which muscle opens the jaw?
Lateral pterygoid
What does the masseter muscle do?
Closes the jaw
