Oral cavity
area within the teeth
Teeth and gingivae nerve supply
superior and inferior alveolar nerves and maxillary and mandibular branches of trigeminal
Teeth and gingivae blood supply
superior and inferior alveolar vessels
Intrinsic tongue muscles
change shape of the tongue
Extrinsic tongue muscles
move the tongue itself
What is the root of the tongue anchored to?
mandible and hyoid bones
What epithelium are the tongue and palate covered by?
Keratinised stratified squamous epithelium
What covers the tongue surface
papillae bearing taste buds
Where are vallate papillae found?
at the root of the tongue
Vascularature of the tongue?
Artery- lingual artery (frome external carotid). Vein- lingual vein (to IJV)
Motor supply of tongue
hypoglossus (CNXII) apart from palatglossus which is vagal (CNX)
Sensation supply of tongue
post 1/3 glossopharyngeal, anterior 2/3 lingual mandibular of trigeminal nerve (CNV)
Taste supply of the tongue
post 1/3 glossopharyngeal, anterior 2/3 chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve (CNVII)
Temporomandibular joint
bilateral synovial articulation between mandible and temporal bone
What are the muscles of mastication
Massater, Temporalis, Medial and pterygoids
Styloglossus
raises posterior part of tongue during swallowing
Palatoglossus
raises posterior part of tongue during swallowing
What closes the laryngeal orifice
aryepiglottic and oblique arytenoids
What muscles make up the soft palate
tensor and levator veli palatine, palatoglossus, palatopharyngeus and uvular
What makes up the hard palate
palatal process of the maxilla and the horizontal palatine bones
What vessel supplies the palates
branches of the maxillary artery
What innervates the palates
pharyngeal plexus, other than the tensor veli palatini which is supplied by CNV3
What muscles make up the external layer of the pharynx
smooth muscle constrictors- superior, middle and inferior
What muscles make up the internal layer of the pharynx
palatopharyngeus, salpingopharyngeus, stylopharyngeus
What 2 groups of muscles make up the larynx?
Suprahyoid and Infrahyoid
What are the suprahyoid muscles, and what do they do?
mylohyoid, geniohyoid (goes around digastric tendon), digastrics (ant. + post. bellies). All act to elevate the larynx/hyoid
What are the infrahyoid muscles, and what do they do?
Sternohyoid (top layer), omohyoid (loop to scapula), sternothyroid and thyrohyoid. All act to depress the larynx/hyoid
Parotid gland location
side of cheek, duct opens on inside of cheek wall (beside 2nd upper molar)
Parotid gland innervation
glossopharyngeal nerve (otic ganglion)
What runs through the parotid gland?
facial nerve (chorda tympani), external carotid artery (maxillary and temporal branches) and retromandibular vein
Submandibular duct location
beneath jawline, duct opens lateral to lingual frenulum.
Sublingual duct location
below the tongue, duct opens around the underside of the tongue
Sublingual duct innervation
facial nerve, chorda tympani, submandibular ganglion innervation
What are the 4 narrowings of the oesophagus

Oesopaheal mucosa epithelium
stratified squamous
Oesophageal mucosa epithelium
stratified squamous

Where is the lesser omentum found?
between stomach and liver
What is the lesser sac?
subsection of peritoneal cavity- posterior to stomach ad anterior to retroperitoneal organs
What is the greater omentum
2 double layers (4 layers) over the abdominal organs
What connects the greater and lesser sacs?
Omental foramen/epiploic foramen/foramen of Winslow
