Digestive System Flashcards
Major components of the digestive system
Esophagus, oral cavity, pharynx
Components of oral cavity
Lips, teeth, tongue, palate, salivary glands
Are two fleshy folds that surrounds the oral orifice
Lips
Shallow vertical groove seen in the midline on the superficial surface of the upper lip
Philtrum
Median fold of mucous membrane that connects the inner surface of the lips to the gums
Labial frenulae
Two components of oral cavity
Vestibule and oral cavity proper
Extends from the lips to the pharynx
Oral cavity
Slitlike space that lies between the lips and the cheeks externally and the gums and the teeth internally
Vestibule
Lateral wall of vestibule is made up by the
Buccinator muscle (and is lined with mucous membrane)
What fibers are tethered to the buccinator muscles in the submucosa that prevents redundant folds from being bitten between the teeth when the jaws are closed
Elastic
Opening of the duct of the parotid salivary gland is located where?
Upper second molar tooth
___ has a roof and a floor
Oral cavity proper
The palate that forms the roof of the oral cavity proper
Hard palate (infront) soft palate (behind)
Floor of the oral cavity proper
The anterior two thirds of the tongue and the reflection of the mucous membrane
Connects the undersurface of the tongue to the floor of the mouth
Frenulum of the tongue
Lateral to the frenulum, the mucous membrane forms a fringed fold called?
Plica fimbriata
The sudmandibular gland opens to the?
Floor of the mouth on the summit of the papilla
The sublingual gland projects up into the mouth, producing a low fold of mucous membrane
Sublingual fold
Oral cavity sensory innervation
Roof: greater palatine and nasopalatine nerves (maxillary div. of CN V)
Floor: lingual nerve (general sensation)
Cheek: buccal nerve ( mandi div of trigeminal)
Placed in the alveolar margins of maxillae and mandible
Teeth
Tooth occupies its own socket and is anchored in place by?
Periodontal ligaments
Fixation of tooth constitutes a type of
Fibrous joint
The two successive overlapping generation of teeth
Primary and permanent dentition
How many teeth are there in the deciduous teeth
20
4 incisors
2canines
4molars
In each jaw
Eruption of deciduous teeth begins about
6 months after birth and have all erupted by the end of 2years
T or F: teeth of lower jaw usually appear before those of the upper jaw
True
How many teeth are there in permanent dentition
32
4 incisors
2 canine
4 premolars
6 molars
In each jaw
Permanent dentition begins to erupt in _____ and last tooth which is the third molar, happen to erupt between ages of ___
6 years of age
17 and 30
Mass of striated muscles covered with mucous membrane
Tongue
Divides the tongue into right and left halves
Median fibrous septum
Three types of papillae on the upper surface of the ant two thirds of the tongue
Filiform papillae
Fungiform papillae
Vallate papillae
the _______, divides the mucous membrane of the upper surface of the tongue into anterior and posterior parts
Sulcus terminalis
The sulcus divides the tongue into the ___and the __
Anterior two thirds (oral part; body)
Posterior third (pharyngeal part; root)
The foramen cecum is an embryologic remnant and marks the site of the upper end of the
Thyroglossal duct
On the lateral side of the frenulum, the deep lingual vein can be seen through the mucous membrane. Lateral to the lingual vein, the mucous membrane forms a fringed fold called the
Plica fibriata
muscles are confined to the tongue and are not attached to bone.
Intrinsic
muscles originate outside the tongue; they attach to bones and the soft palate.
Extrinsic
the hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) supplies all the tongue muscles, except one, the ____
palatoglossus (supplied by vagus fibers in the pharyngeal plexus).
Intrinsic muscles of the tongue
Longitudinal, transverse, vertical
Extrinsic muscles of the tongue
Genioglossus, hyoglossus, styloglossus, palatoglossus
Oina of genioglossus
Superior genial spine of mandible
Blends with other muscles of the tongue
Hypoglossal nerve
Protudes apex of the tongue through the mouth
