Floor Of Mouth Flashcards
What is the posterior border of the oral cav
Oropharyngeal isthmus - space bounded laterally by palatoglossal folds
What does the roof of the oral cav consist of
Hard and soft palate
What does the floor of the oral cav consist of
Tongue
Muscles of mouth
What bones makeup palate
2 palatine
2 maxilla
How many pairs of what muscles does the soft palate consist of
5 pairs of skeletal muscle
What are the landmarks of the lips
Upper and lower labial sulcus
What is the palatal mucoperiosteum
Covers hard palate
Don’t have mucosa associated with underlying skeltL muscle but closely related to bone
What is the lingual sulcus
Deepest part of area between tongue and teeth
What is the buccal sulcus
Deepest part of cheek part of vestibule
What is the difference between upper labial alveolar mucosa and upper labialise mucosa
Upper labial alveolar mucosa - associate with alveolar bone, called this up to the canines then after this point it is known as buccal alveolar mucosa
Upper labial mucosa - not directly associated with alveolar bone
What are the labial frenula
Folds of mucosa
Connect alveolar mucosa to lips
Why is there red and pink mucosa
Red - thinner so oxygenated blood shines through more
Pink - thicker epi
What kind of epithelia is red and pink mucosa
Red - non keratinised stratified squamous
Pink - keratinised stratified squamous
What is the free gingival groove
Between free and attached gingivae - corresponds to base of gingival sulcus
What is attached gingivae and free gingivae
Attached - directly associated with alveolar bone
Free - not stuck to anything but is the superior extent of mucosa over tooth
What is the gingival sulcus
The space where the probe goes
Between the tooth and the free gingivae
What is the mucohingival junction
Transition line between the gingivae and mucosa
