Two types of articulators
Mobile and Immobile
Examples of Mobile Articulators
Tongue
Mandible
Soft Palate
Lips
Cheeks
Larynx & Hyoid bone
Examples of Immobile Articulators
Alveolar ridge
Hard Palate
Teeth
Structure that comes in contact with the tip/blade of the tongue to produce alveolar consonants
Alveolar ridge
Largest mobile articulator
Function: Creation of bolus for swallowing and Sensation
Tongue
Parts of the tongue
Superior-most portion
Resides within the oral portion
Makes up about ⅔ of the tongue
Dorsum
Parts of the tongue
⅓ of the tongue is within the pharyngeal portion

Base
Parts of the tongue
Thinnest and narrowest part of the tongue
Tip / Apex
Parts of the tongue
Band of tissue that connects the tongue to the mandible
Lingual frenulum
LF is too short, needs surgical correction
Ankyloglossia
Parts of the tongue
Lingual frenulum is too short, needs surgical correction
Ankyloglossia
Parts of the tongue
Lateral to the LF
Where the ducts of our salivary glands are located
Sublingual folds
Parts of the tongue
Directly connected/attached to the mandible
Root
Both origin and insertion are within the tongue
Responsible for rapid, delicate movements for speech

Intrinsic Muscles
Superior Longitudinal
Inferior Longitudinal

CN 12 (Hypoglossal)
Set the general posture/ position for articulation
Only one attachment is within the tongue
Moves tongue as a unit
