Oral Mucosa
lining of oral cavity (Buccal, gingivae, epithelium of tongue, and mucoperiostium of hard palate)
Buccal Mucosa
lining of the cheeks
Gingivae
mucoperiosteum covering alveolar process of maxilla and mandible (mucous membrane and periostium)
Vestibule
U-shaped space bounded externally by the lips and cheeks and internally by the teeth and gums
Parotid duct pierces
buccopharyngeal fascia and buccinator m
Orifice of parotid duct
opposite to 2nd molar
Crown of teeth

Oral Cavity proper borders
teeth and gums anteriorly, tongue inferiorly, hard and soft palate superiorly, oropharyngeal isthmus posteriorly (palatoglossal folds)
Bony structure of hard palate
palatine processes of the maxillary bone (with incisive foramina) and horizontal plates of palatine bones (with greater and lesser palatine foramina)
General sensory innervation to hard palate?
greater palatine n and nasopalatine n.
Blood supply to palate?
