food prehension, mastication and salivation Flashcards
what is mastication
tearing, grinding and chewing of food
principle organs of food prehension
lips, cheek, teeth and tongue
what makes up the masticatory apparatus
teeth, temporomandibular, symphysial joints and masticatory muscles.
what is the temporomandibular joint
2 condyles that sit in 2 concave surfaces between the temporal bones of the skull - one on each side
what is thickened to form the mandibular ligament
joint capsule
what is the symphysial joint
unites 2 halves of the mandible at the rostral end which allows small changes in the angulation of the lower to aid food prehension
what are the muscles of the lips (labium)
oribucalaris oris
levator nasolabialis
depressor labii inferioris
caninus
zygomasticus
what are all the muscles of the lips innervated by
facial nerve
sensory supplied by trigeminal
upper lip is maxillary division
lower lip is mandibular division
function of oribicularis oris
ring of muscle around mouth to close it - sucking when drinking
function of levator nasolabialis
lifts upper lip and nostril
function of depressor labii inferioris
depress lower lib
what lip muscle is absent in carnivores and what is the replacement
depressor labii inferioris
buccinator muscle
function of caninus
retractor of upper lip and nostril
function of zygomasticus
retractor of caudal commissure of the lip
muscle of the cheeks
buccinator
function of buccinator
group of muscles acting as one to form a diaphragm across cheek
acts in opposition to or in conjunction with tongue
innervation of the cheek muscle
