food prehension, mastication and salivation Flashcards
4 organs involved prehension
lips, cheek, teeth, tongue
horse prehension
sensitive and mobile lips
lips drawn back and incisors sever grass at base
vibrissae used to locate food
cow prehension
less mobile lips
tongue main organ
papillae on tongue rough
curved ground grass, pulls to incisors and dental pad
sideways head movement severs grass
insensitivity can result in forge in objects being ingested
sheep prehension
similar to cows
cleft upper lip allows grass to be cropped more closely
do not ingest foreign objects as often
pig prehension
root with snouts
use pointed lower lip to transfer food into mouth
dog/cat prehension
lips unimportant
long tongue and teeth
tongue lapping up water
orbicularis oris
ring of muscle around mouth
closes mouth, important for sucking
levator labii superioris
lifts upper lip
levator nasolabialis
lifts upper lip and nostril
depressor labii inferioris
depresses lower lip - absent in carnivores (buccinator)
caninus muscle
retractor of upper lip and nostril
zygomaticus muscle
retractor of caudal commissure of lip
innervation of all lip muscles
facial nerve CN VII
sensory supply to lips
trigeminal -
upper - maxillary
lower - mandibular
action and innervation of buccinator
forms diaphragm across cheek
facial nerve
sensory supply of cheek
trigeminal nerve
buccinator nerve
innervation of teeth
sensory -
upper - maxillary trigeminal
lower - mandibular trigeminal
species variation in tongue shape
horses, dogs - free end spatulate
ox, sheep, pig - pointed
torus linguae
mound on caudal part of tongue found in ruminants
tongue surface species variance
dogs, pigs, horses - soft
ruminants, cats - rough
what do dogs have on their tongue that no other species have?
median sulcus and lyssa on ventral tip
3 extrinsic muscles of tongue
genioglossus
styloglossus
hyoglossus
action of genioglossus
puts tongue out
action of styloglossus
retracts tongue
action of hyoglossus
depresses and retracts tongue
extrinsic muscles of tongue innervation
hypoglossal nerve CN XII
