Anatomy: Oral and Submandibular regions Flashcards
vestibule:
- space b/w lips/cheeks and teeth
- opens externally at oral fissure b/w lips
- mm. of facial expression control its shape and size
- parotid duct opens into vestibule opposite upper 2nd molar
innervation of lips?
upper lip = V2 via infraorbital branches
lower lip = V3 via mental and bucal branches
lymphatic drainage of lips?
submental nodes drains medial part of lips unilaterally
submandibular nodes drain all other regions - bilaterally
number of teeth?
32 permanent teeth; 16 deciduous (baby) teeth
- 4 incisors, 2 canines, 4 premolars, 6 molars
- appear around age 6-8
gingivae
mucous membrane and fibrous tissue attached to alveolar processes of the mandible and maxilla bones, and attached to neck of teeth
how are teeth innervated?
maxillary teeth: superior alveolar branches of V2
mandibular teeth: inferior alveolar branches of V3
how is maxillary gingivae innervated?
- Maxillary gingivae:
- palatine portion: nasopalatine n (V2) and greater palatine n (V2)
- vestibular portion: superior alveolar branches of V2
innervation of gingivae of mandibular teeth?
all inferior alveolar branches of V3
- internal portion: lingual n (V3)
- external: buccal n (V3) and mental branch of inferior alveolar n (V3)
lymphatic drainage of teeth/gingivae?
most lymph drainage is to submandibular lymph nodes
- exception: mandibular incisors drain to submental lymph nodes
- exception: 3rd maxillary molars drain directly to superior deep cervical lymph nodes.
terminal sulcus
- V shaped groove on dorsum of tongue that separates anterior 2/3rds (body) from root (posterior 1/3)
- represent embryonic site of oropharyngeal membrane
foramen cecum
remnant of thyroglossal duct
types of papillae
- vallate (lie anterior and posterior to terminal sulcus)
- filiform (most abundant, no taste buds)
- fungiform
- foliate (least abundant, located on lateral edges of tongue)
three intrinsic mm. of the tongue?
intrinsic mm. alter the shape of the tongue - they don’t move the tongue/change its position
- longitudinal (shorten;retract tongue, also curl tongue)
- vertical (flatten/broaden tongue)
- transverse (narrow/elongate tongue)
what do extrinsic mm. of tongue do?
alter position of tongue
genioglossus
largest m. of tongue O: mental spines of mandible I: dorsum of tongue N: hypoglossasl n (GSE) fn: acting bilaterally: protrudes tongue unilaterally: pushes tongue to opposite side
hyoglossus
O: hyoid bone
I: inferolateral side of tongue
N: hypoglossal - GSE
fn: retracts, depresses tongue
styloglossus
O: styloid process
I: superolateral side of tongue
N: hyoglossus (GSE)
fn: retracts; elevates tongue
Palatoglossus
O: soft palate
I: tongue
N: vagus n. (SVE)
fn: pulls tongue and soft palate together during swallowing - closes fauces
what are mm. of tongue innervated by?
genio, hyo, styloglossus all hypoglossus (GSE)
palatoglossus: vagus provides SVE
how would hypoglossal nerve lesion present?
when patient is asked to protrude tongue, tongue will deviate toward affected (paralyzed) side beceause functioning genioglossus m. pushes tongue contralaterally
