articulation lecture 16 Flashcards
oral cavity
- most significant
- undergoes most change
- shape changes based on tongue or mandible movement
- extends from lips to faucial pillars at back of oral cavity
buccal cavity
- lateral to oral cavity
- space between posterior teeth and cheeks
- plays role in oral resonance when mandible is depressed
positions of buccal cavity
laterally - cheeks
medially - teeth
posterior - third molar
pharyngeal cavity
- tube 12 cm in length
- behind nasal cavities to vocal folds
- lined with muscle capable of constricting the space of tube for swallowing
- important in closing veropharyngeal port (opening between oropharynx and nasopharynx)
oropharynx
- immediately posterior to fauces
- superior boundary - velum
- inferior boundary - hyoid bone
laryngopharynx
- superior boundary - hyoid bone
- anterior boundary - epiglottis
- inferior boundary - esophagus
nasopharynx
- space above soft palate
- anterior boundary nasal chonchae
- lateral wall is orifice of eustacian tube
