A

Chorda Tympani branch of the Facial Nerve

22
Q

Which nerve supplies Special Sensory (Taste) information to the Posterior 1/3 of the Tongue?

A

The Glossopharyngeal Nerve (Cranial Nerve IX)

23
Q

What are the 2 types of muscle in the tongue?

A
  1. Intrinsic Muscles which originate and insert within the tongue
  2. Extrinsic Muscles that attach from the tongue to the surrounding bone or soft palate
24
Q

On a Sagittal Section of the Tounge, which specific area are the Intrinsic Muscle fibers mainly concentrated?

A

Within the Tongue only

25
Q

What is the function of the Extrinsic Muscles of the Tongue?

A

Changing the Position of the Tongue

26
Q

What is the function of the Intrinsic Muscles of the Tongue?

A

Change the Shape of the Tongue

27
Q

What are the 4 Extrinsic Muscles of the Tongue?

A
  1. Genioglossus
  2. Hyoglossus
  3. Styloglossus
  4. Palatoglossus
28
Q

What are the attachments of the Genioglossus?

A

The Inner Surface of the Mandible, close to the midline

29
Q

What are the attachments of the Hyoglossus?

A

The Upper Border of the body of the Mandible

30
Q

What are the attachments of the Styloglossus?

A

The Styloid Process

31
Q

What are the attachments of the Palatoglossus?

A

The Soft Palate

32
Q

What is the action of the Genioglossus?

A

Protrudes the Tongue to the Opposite Side

33
Q

What is the action of the Hyoglossus?

A

Depresses the Tongue

34
Q

What is the action of the Styloglossus?

A

Retracts the Tongue

35
Q

What is the action of the Palatoglossus?

A

Elevates the Tongue

36
Q

What Nerve innervates all of the Muscles of the Tongue (Except One)?

A

The Hypoglossal Nerve (Cranial Nerve XII)

37
Q

What is the only Muscle of the Tongue not innervated by the Hypoglossal Nerve (Cranial Nerve XII)?
And What innervates this?

A

The Palatoglossus is innervated by the Vagus Nerve (Cranial Nerve X)

38
Q

Name the 3 large pairs of Salivary Glands:

A
  1. Parotid Salivay Gland
  2. Submandibular Salivery Gland
  3. Sublingual Salivary Gland
39
Q

Which Nerve gives Parasympathetic (so Secretomotor) innervation to the Parotid Gland?

A

The Glossopharyngeal Nerve (Cranial Nerve IX)

40
Q

Which Nerve gives Parasympathetic (so Secretomotor) innervation to the Submandibular Gland?

A

The Facial Nerve (Cranial Nerve XII)

41
Q

Which Nerve gives Parasympathetic (so Secretomotor) innervation to the Sublingual Gland?

A

The Facial Nerve (Cranial Nerve XII)

42
Q

What are the 2 bones which form the Hard Palate?

A
  1. The Palatine Process of the Maxila

2. The Horizontal Plate of the Palatine Bone

43
Q

Name the 5 Muscles in the Soft Palate:

A
  1. Tensor Veli Palatini
  2. Palatoglossus
  3. Palatopharyngeus
  4. Levator Veli Palatini
  5. Musculus Uvulae
44
Q

What is the Nerve Supply to the Muscles in the Soft Palate?

A

The Pharyngeal Plexus, via the Vagus Nerve. This consists of:
The Glossopharyngeal Nerve (Cranial Nerve IX)
The Vagus Nerve (Cranial Nerve X)

45
Q

What is the collective action of the Muscles in the Soft Palate?

A

This closes off the Nasopharyx (Nasal Passage) whilst swallowing, preventing the Bolus from travelling in the wrong direction

46
Q

What lies between the folds of mucosa (Arches) of the Palatoglossus and the Palatopharyngeus?

A

Palatine Tonsils

47
Q

What are the Palatine Tonsils made up of?

A

Lymphoid Tissue
