39
Q

Sublingual fold

A

arise from midline and intertwine with each other innervated by HYPOGLOSSAL (Sup/Inf longitudinal, Vertical, and Transverse)

41
Q

Extrinsic muscles of the tongue

A

intertwine with intrinsic muscles of the tongue, innervated by HYPOGLOSSAL (except palatoglossal - CNX)

42
Q

Styloglossus

A

retracts tongue and draws it up;styloid process to inserts on side of tongue

43
Q

Hyoglossus

A

depresses tongue and draws the sides down; body and greater horn of hyoid to side of tongue

44
Q

What nerves and vessels cours with hyoglossus

A

hypoglossal and lingual n course on the superficial surface of hyoglossal and lingual a, courses deep

45
Q

Genioglossus

A

depresses and protrudes tongue, from genial tubercles to dorsum of tongue

46
Q

Fissured tongue

A

Down Syndrome, Psoriasis, and Sjoren syndrome

47
Q

Geographic tongue

A

papillary atrophy on dorsal surface of tongue, smooth patch surrounded by raised creeping borders, mottled

48
Q

52
Q

Blood supply to tongue

A

dorsal branch of lingual a. and deep branch of lingual a to tip
