anatomy of articulatiton Flashcards
1
Q
oral cavity
A
- anterior boundary is mouth opening
- floor is mostly tongue but also mucosa overlying mylohyoid
- lateral walls are the teeth and alveolar processes of maxilla and mandible
- roof is maxilla and palatine divided by median raphe
- communicates posteriorly with oropharynx at faucial pillars
2
Q
nose
A
- anterior are nasal bones and cartilages
- openings nostrils
- covered by mucous membrance and cilia
- medial wall is nasal septum
- lateral wall is composed of nasal conchae and meatus
- roof is cribriform plate and sphenoid
- floor is maxilla and palatine
- communicates posteriorly with nasopharynx
3
Q
nasopharynx
A
- from rostrum of sphenoid bone to tip of lowered velum
- contains opening of eustachian tube and pharyngeal tonsils or adenoids
4
Q
laryngopharynx
A
-from hyoid down to esophagus bounded by laryngeal inlet
5
Q
facial expression
A
-face is highly communicative and can augment linguistic communication
-symmetry, range of motion, diversity
muscles:
6
Q
orbicularis oris
A
- muscle forming bulk of lips
- circumoral - circle mouth
- no real origin or insertion
- arise in one angle, inserts in other
- action: draw lips together to seal mouth
- sphincter
- fibers insert in OO as termination
- highly complex motion
- inferior - upper lip
- superior - lower lip
- left and right independent innervation
7
Q
risorius
A
- courses from faascia close to mandible to corner of mouth
- lateral course across the face
- retracts lips at corners (lateral pull)
- smiling muscle
8
Q
zygomaticus major
A
- arises on zygomatic bone and inserts in corner of mouth
- elevates angle of mouth and draws it laterally
- smiling muscle
9
Q
buccinator
A
- cheek (buccal) muscle
- originates from pterygomandibular raphe
- ligament connecting pterygoid to mandible
- inserts horizontally into upper and lower lips
- flatten cheeks, build up pressure (bulgers muscle)
- helps move food onto molars
- clears food out of buccal cavity
10
Q
lip elevators
A
- all insert into mid-lateral region of upper lip
- levator labii superiorus
- levatator labii superiorus alque nasi
- zygomatic minor
- levator anguli oris
- incisivus labii superious
11
Q
levator labii superiorus
A
- originates from lower orbit
- inserts into upper lip where fibers intermix with OOS
- elevates lip and may help to turn it upward
12
Q
levator labii superiorus alque nasi
A
- along the nose
- small muscle
- two divisions
- one inserts into lateral cartilage of nose to dilate nostril
- other inserts into OOS to help elevate medial upper lip
13
Q
zygomatic minor
A
- arises in front of zygomatic major and inserts in lateral upper lip
- assists in raising upper lip
14
Q
levator anguli oris
A
- arises from canine fossa of maxilla and inserts into upper and lower lip corners
- draws corners of mouth up and medially
- can assist in generating medial compression
15
Q
incisivus labii superiorus
A
- arises from maxilla near canine teeth
- runs laterally to angle of mouth
- pulls corner of mouth upwards and medially
16
Q
lip depressors
A
- depressor labii inferious
- depressor anguli oris
- mentalis
- incisivus labii inferior
- platysma
17
Q
depressor labii inferiorus
A
- arises from oblique line of manible and inserts in lower lip
- pulls lips down and out
18
Q
depressor anguli oris
A
- arises from lateral margin of oblique line
- converges on OO and upper lip corner
- lowers angle of mouth and assists in generating lip compression
