anatomy of speech and swallow Flashcards
what is highlighted pink and green?
pink= vermillion border of the lips green= buccal fat bad
what occurs to buccal fat pad when a patient is ill?
- its lost in illness, giving the appearance of ‘sunken cheeks
- clinical sign of malnutrition
what are the muscles of mastication?
- masseter
- temporalis
- lateral pterygoid
- medial pterygoid
what are the circle and square pointing to?
square= lateral pterygoid
circle=medial pterygoid
role of lateral pterygoid?
- one of the muscles of mastication
- plays a role in the opening of the mouth
role of medial pterygoid?
- one of the muscles of mastication
- plays a role in closing the mouth
what are the circle and square?
circle= orbicularis oris
square=buccinator
what is the role of the orbicularis oris?
-acts as a sphincter around the area of the mouth
what is the role of the buccinator?
-assists in aligning a food bolus between the dentition
what role does the temporalis muscle have?
- one of the muscles of mastication
- plays a role in shutting the mouth
what role does the masseter muscle have?
- one of the muscles of mastication
- plays a role in closing the mouth
what is this muscle?
temporalis
what is this muscle?
masseter
what joint is used in mastication?
temporomandibular joint
what makes up the temporomandibular joint?
- mandibular condyle
- glenoid fossa of temporal bone
- articular tubercle of temporal bone
what can the muscles of the tongue be divided into?
-intrinsic and extrinsic groups of skeletal muscle
what muscles are red, orange, blue and green?
red= palatoglossus orange= styloglossus blue= genioglossus green= hyoglossus
what are the 4 extrinsic muscles of the tongue?
- palatoglossus (attaches to hard palate)
- styloglossus (attaches to the styloid process)
- genioglossus (attaches to geniotubercule)
- hyoglossus (attaches to hyoid bone)
what nerves innervate the extrinsic muscles of the tongue?
CN XII (hypoglossal nerve) innervates hyoglossus, styloglossus and genioglossus
CNX (vagus nerve) innervates the palatoglossus
what extrinsic muscles of the tongue are red and green?
green= hyoglossus
red=genioglossus
what do the extrinsic group of muscles do to the tongue?
they control movement of tongue around the oral cavity
what do the intrinsic group of muscles do to the tongue?
change the shape of the tongue in speech and swallowing
what are the 4 fibre directions associated with intrinsic tongue muscles?
- superior longitudinal
- inferior longitudinal
- horizontal
- vertical
what is the soft palate?
- the movable posterior 1/3 of the palate
- it has no bony skeleton and uses a series of muscles to move and tighten the fibrous palatine aponeurosis
