AP02 - Oral cavity, salivary glands, oesophagus and stomach Flashcards
What are the different types of salivary glands?
- Parotid salivary gland
- Submandibular salivary gland
- Sublingual salivary gland
Describe the saliva produced by the parotid salivary gland
Watery and serous saliva
Describe the saliva produced by the submandibular salivary gland
Mixed serous and mucous saliva
Describe the saliva produced by the sublingual gland
Saliva is thicker than that prod in submandibular gland
Innervation of parotid gland?
Glossopharyngeal nerve
Innervation of submandibular gland?
Facial nerve (via chorda tympani branch)
Innervation of sublingual gland?
Facial nerve (via chorda tympani)
What do the intrinsic muscles in the tongue do (general)?
Alters the shape of the tongue
What do the extrinsic muscles of the tongue do (general)?
Moves the tongue
What are the intrinsic muscles of the tongue?
- Superior longitudinal
- Inferior longitudinal
- Transverse
- Vertical
What are the extrinsic muscles of the tongue?
- Genioglossus
- Hyoglossus
- Styloglossus
- Palatoglossus
What is the neurovasculature of the superior longitudinal muscle of the tongue?
Arterial supply = Lingual artery (tonsillar artery ~ collateral circ)
Venous drainage = Lingual vein
Lymphatic drainage =
Innervation = Hypoglossal
What is the neurovasculature of the inferior longitudinal muscle of the tongue?
Arterial supply = Lingual artery (tonsillar artery ~ collateral circ)
Venous drainage = Lingual vein
Lymphatic drainage =
Innervation = Hypoglossal
What is the neurovasculature of the transverse muscle of the tongue
Arterial supply = Lingual artery (tonsillar artery ~ collateral circ)
Venous drainage = Lingual vein
Lymphatic drainage =
Innervation = Hypoglossal
What is the neurovasculature of the vertical muscle of the tongue?
Arterial supply = Lingual artery (tonsillar artery ~ collateral circ)
Venous drainage = Lingual vein
Lymphatic drainage =
Innervation = Hypoglossal
Function of superior longitudinal muscle of tongue?
- Shortens tongue
- Curls apex and sides of tongue
Function of inferior longitudinal muscle of tongue?
- Shortens tongue
- Uncurls apex and turns it downwards
Function of the transverse muscle of the tongue?
- Narrows and elongates tongue
