inferior most part of lateral nasal wall
sinuses
- air filled spaces & thin membrane
- covered by ciliated epithelium
what are the four pairs of accessory sinuses that drain into nasal cavities
frontal sinuses, maxillary sinuses, ethmoid sinuses, and sphenoid sinuses
tongue
- intrinsic and extrinsic muscles
- median fibrous septum
- dorsum - superiopr surface
- base
- lingual papillae
- invested with taste buds to convey the gustatory sense
- lingual frenulum
sublingual folds
median fibrous septum
divides it into left or right halves
septum of tongue
originates at body of hyoid bone and creates tongue attachment with hyoid
where is base of tongue
resides in oropharynx
lingual papillae of tongue
small irregular prominences on the surface of tongue
lingual frenulum
joins the inferior tongue and mandible
sublingual folds
band of tissue on either side of tongue which are ducts for the sublingual salivary glands
what are the intrinsic tongue muscles
superior longitudinal, inferior longitudinal, transverse muscles, vertical muscles
superior longitudinal
- courses along length of tongue
- elevates tongue tip or pulls tongue to one side or other
inferior longitudinal
- originates at base of tongue to tip
- pulls tongue lip down and assists in retraction of tongue
transverse muscles
- originate at median fibrous septum and course laterallly to insert into side of tongue
- pulls edges of tongue toward midline, narrowing tongue
