Q
  1. Where does the uvula extend?
  2. How does it function?
A
  1. Extends inferiorly from posterior part of soft palate

24
Q

fluid that assists in initial activities of digestion

A

saliva

25
Q

How much saliva is secreted in a day? When is it most produced?

A
  • Between 1.0-1.5. daily
  • Most produced during meal time (small amounts continuously to ensure moist)
26
Q

99% of volume of saliva

A

water

27
Q

3 pairs of salivary glands

A
  • parotid
  • submandibular
  • sublingual
28
Q

Label structures.

A
29
Q

largest salivary glands

A

parotid glands

[located anterior and inferior to ear overlying masseter muscle]

produce 25-30% saliva (through parotid duct to oral cavity ia oral vestibule next to 2nd upper molar)

30
Q

produces most of the saliva (60-70%)

A

submandibular glands

[located inferior to the body of the mandible]

duct opens from eah gland through papilla in the floor of the mouth on lateral sides of the lingual frenulum

31
Q

contribute only 3-5% of total saliva

A

sublingual glands

[located inferior to tongue and internal to the oral cavity mucosa]

extends multiple tiny sublingual ducts that open onto inferior surface of oral cavity, posterior to submandibular dut papilla

32
Q

types of secretions: parotid glands

A

serous secretions

33
Q

types of secretions: submandibular gland

A

mucous and serous secretions

34
Q

types of secretions: sublingual gland

A

both mucous and serous secretions

35
Q

dentition; responsible for ingestion and mastication (first part of mechanical digestion process)

A

teeth

36
Q

components of the tooth

A
  • exposed crown
  • constricted neck
  • one or more roots that anchor it to the jaw
37
Q

dental alveoli

A
  • sockets within alveolar processes of both maxillae and mandible
  • “roots of teeth fit into dental alveoli”
38
Q

gomphosis joint

A
  • roots
  • dental alveoli
  • periodontal ligament
39

elevates the tensed palate and acts on pharyngotympanic tube

A

levator. veli palatini (CN X - pharyngeal plexus)

53
Q

paralysis of tensor veli palatini and levator veli palatini

A

leads to reflux of oral contents into nasal cavity and pharyngotympanic tube dysfunction
