Alimentary canal
Mouth/pharynx Esophagus/stomach Small intestines Large intestines Anal canal/duct
TMJ
Mandible+temporal bone
Synovial joint
TMJ joint
Articular tubercle (cranial in mandible) Mandibular fossa (articulates with mandibular condoyle) Retro-articular process
Jaw movements, different species
Carnivores- ascent/descent
Rodent- retropulsion/propulsion
Ruminants- diduction (lateral movements)
Jaw levator muscles
Closes mouth/raises jaw Masseter Temporal MEDIAL pterygoid Mandibular N (branch of #5), trigeminal #5
Jaw propulsor muscles
Moves jaw forward
Lateral pterygoid
Mandibular N (branch of #5)
Jaw depressor muscles
Opens mouth/ moves jaw downwards
Mylohyiod
Digastric
Mandibular N (branch of #5)
Facial muscles

Mylohyoid
Fills up mandibular space
Mandibular N
Digastric
Lateral to mylohyoid
Underneath masseter
V-shaped

Oral cavity
Space between dental archs
Lips to pharynx
Palate to tongue
Oral vestibule
Labial+buccal
Cavity between mucosa and teeth
Dental torus
Dental pad without incisors
Upper jaw in ruminants
Hard palate
Thin bony plate covered with thick mucosa
Palatine raphe
Line dividing palate into left and right
Especially in dogs
Palatine crests
Perpendicular to raphe, transverse
Vomeronasal organ
Communicates with Incisive papilla
Parts of tongue
Apex=tip
Body=bulk of tongue
Base/root=where tongue attaches (hyoid bone)
Lingual frenulum
Strap of tissue underneath tongue
Lingual torus
Thickening at base of tongue in ruminants
