11. Oral Cavity Flashcards
Identify the structure in purple.
oral cavity
Identify the various structures of the oral cavity.
A. ROOF: formed of the hard palate (anterior) and the soft palate (posterior)
B. TONGUE
C. FLOOR = myohyoid muscle and geniohyoid m
D. OROPHARYNGEAL ISTHMUS: opening of oral cavity to pharyn
Identifty these 2 structures of the oral cavity. what is shown in red?
A) lateral wall of the oral cavity: formed of the buccinator muscle : pushes food out of cheeks
B) bolus
red: mucosal membrane: lines all of oral cavity
What is just deep to the mucosal membrane of the oral cavity?
neurovasculature structures = very superficial
Explain the innervation of the tongue.
Identify the 2 lines.
top arrow: terminal sulcus
bottom: lingual septum
What does the blue represent? green?
green: extrinsic muscle (for big motion such as moving tongue side to side)
blue: intrinsic mucsle (for fine movements of tongue)
Identify the various parts.
green: body (mobile)
yellow: root: connected to bone
pink+red: floor:
- red:mylohyoid m
- pink:geniohyoid m
What is the structure in blue? in dotted black line?
blue: mylohyoid line
black: genu
What bone is shown here?
hyoid bone: floating bone that can move up and down: at C3
Identify the muscle in red. What are its attachements? What innervates it? What is the action of the muscle. Where do the 2 mylohyoid attach together and join?
MYLOHYOID MUSCLE
- goes from mylohyoid line to hyoid bone
- innervated by N to mylohyoid (CN V3)
ACTIONS:
- elevates floor of oral cavity
- assist in depressing the mandible
- draws hyoid forward for swallowing
2 mylohyoids attach together at MYLOHYOID RAPHE (in white)
Identify the muscle in pink. What innervates it? What are its attachements? What actions is it responsible for?
GENIOHYOID M
- from genu to hyoid bone
- innervated by C1 anterior ramus
- assist in depression of mandible
- draws hyoid forward for swallowing
Which is a stronger muscle: mylohyoid and geniohyoid muscles?
geniohyoid muscle stronger because its thicker
Where are the muscles of the oral cavity floor found?
under the genioglossus muscle
Identify all the extrinsic muscles of the tongue.
there are 4 extrinsic tongue muscles:
- orange: genioglossus m
- purple: hypoglossus m
- green: styloglossus m
- blue:palatoglossus m
Identify the muscle in orange. What innervates it? What are its attachements? What actions is it responsible for?
GENIOGLOSSUS M
- innervated by the hypoglossal nerve
- originates from the genu
- actions:protrudes tongue (sticks tongue out)
Identify the muscle in purple. What innervates it? What are its attachements? What actions is it responsible for?
HYPOGLOSSUS M:
- innervated by the hypoglossal nerve
- from hyoid bone goes up to tongue
- actions:
bilateral: depresses and retracts tongue
unilateral: flips tongue (side to side)
Identify the muscle in green. What is it innervated by? What are its actions? What are its attachments?
STYLOGLOSSUS M
-innervated by hypoglossal n
- from styloid process to back on tongue
- action:elevates and retracts tongue (avoids food going down to airway when swallowing)
Identify the muscle in blue: attachements, innervation, actions.
PALATOGLOSSUS M
- innervated by vagus n
- from the soft palate
- actions: elevates tongue and closes oropharyngeal isthmus
