Description:• Globular, encapsulated fat body• Prominent in infants Function:• Prevents collapse of cheeks during suckling

17
Q

Oral Cavity

A

Description:• Two parts: oral vestibule and oral cavity proper• Oral vestibule is space between lips and cheeks (superficial) and teeth and gingivae (deep)• Oral cavity proper is space between maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) dental arches• Floor is tongue; roof is hard palateFunction:• Functions in mechanical digestion (mastication, i.e., chewing), chemical digestion (initial stage of polysaccharide digestion), taste (via the tongue), ventilation (breathing), and phonation (speaking)Also known as:• Buccal cavity or mouth

18
Q

19
Q

Tongue

A

Description:• Muscular organ with thick mucous membrane containing taste buds• Intrinsic muscles alter shape; extrinsic muscles move tongue• Dense concentration of papillae gives dorsal surface “felt-like” appearance• Divided by V-shaped sulcus terminalis into anterior (oral) part and posterior (pharyngeal) part• Anterior part has median furrow, posterior part is nodular due to presence of lingual tonsils• Lingual frenulum connects tongue to floor of mouthFunction:• Mastication (chewing), deglutition (swallowing), and phonation (production of speech sounds)Comment:• Extrinsic muscles: genioglossus, hyoglossus, palatoglossus, and styloglossus
