Deep Head (Teeth, Tongue, TMJ) Flashcards
CN responsible for motor innervation to muscles of the rostral 2/3rds of the tongue
CN V3: trigeminal - mandibular nerve
CN responsible for sensory innervation to tastebuds of the rostral 2/3rds of the tongue
CN 7: facial nerve
what nerve provides innervation to the muscles of the caudal 1/3 of the tongue (motor)
CN XII: hypoglossal nerve
what nerve provides sensory innervation of tastebuds to the caudal 1/3 of the tongue
CN IX (9): glossopharyngeal nerve
what spaces does the tongue occupy
occupies much of the oral cavity, some of the oropharynx
Describe follate papillae in ruminants
absent
are filiform papillae mechanical or sensory
mechanical
are fungiform papillae sensory or mechanical
sensory (taste)
what are the 3 kinds of sensory papillae that make up the taste buds
fungiform, follate, vallate
which two papillae are scattered all over the tongue
fungiform and filiform
lentiform papillae are modified ______ papillae
filiform
where are vallate papillae mostly found
towards the base of the tongue
where are foliate papillae typically found
on lateral surface, caudal aspect of tongue
describe conical papillae
caudally oriented, filiform papillae
clinical significance of the lingual fossa
can collect food but becomes easily infected
which species have a lingual fossa
Ox and sheep
which species do not have a lingual fossa
dogs, cat, pig, horse
The extrinsic muscles of the tongue connect it to _____
bone
The styloglossus muscle connects the tongue to the ______
Stylohyoid bone
which muscle elevates the tongue
mylohyoideus
T/F: the mylohyoideus muscle is an extrinsic muscle of the tongue
F: technically not an extrinsic muscle
name 3 tooth tissues
enamel, cementum, dentine
describe enamel
acellular - irreplaceable, one-time coating, present at eruption
hard - wears away with tooth wear
only on crown - erupted above gum line
describe cementum
softest - of the three tooth tissues
Cellular (like bone)
- covers root
describe dentine
- ivory
- lies deep to enamel
- cellular (like bone)
which tooth tissue has collagenous attachments that secure the tooth in alveolus
cementum
what is the only type of cell present in the pulp cavity
odontoblasts
role of odontoblasts
make dentine
what lines the inner layer of the pulp cavity
layer of odontoblasts which recede away from dentine as its made
what is contained within the pulp cavity
- contains CT
blood supply
innervation (pain)
