Q

What branch of the facial nerve forms the taste fibres and where are the taste fibres located?

A

Chorda tympani

Anterior two-thirds of tongue

20
Q

What is the arterial blood supply to the face?

A

External carotid

Lingual —> tongue
Facial —> face, curves under jaw
Maxillary —> very branched and terminates at maxilla

21
Q

Why does the face heal quickly?

A

Lots of anastomoses so rich blood supply

22
Q

What vein drains the venous system of the face?

A

Internal jugular

23
Q

Where is the hard and soft palate?

A

Anterior and superior region of mouth = hard

Towards posterior = soft

24
Q

What fills the mouth when closed?

A

Tongue

25
Q

Where is the buccinator muscle?

A

Cheek

26
Q

What is the major tongue muscle?

A

Genioglossus

27
Q

What separates the posterior third of the tongue from the rest of it?

A

Vallate papillae

28
Q

What nerves innervate the tongue?

A

Glossopharyngeal nerve (posterior third, general sensation)

Vagus nerve (posterior third, taste)

Hypoglossal nerve (muscles of tongue)

Facial nerve (taste fibres)

Mandibular nerve (anterior two-thirds)

29
Q

What does the inferior alveolar nerve innervate?

A

Lower teeth

30
Q

What innervates the upper teeth?

A

Maxillary nerve (trigeminal)

31
Q

What are the three main salivary glands?

A

Parotid

Submandibular

Sublingual

32
Q

Where does the parotid gland saliva enter the mouth?

A

Buccal side by upper second molar

33
Q

Where does the submandibular gland saliva enter the mouth?

A

Behind lower incisors

34
Q

Where does the sublingual gland saliva enter the mouth?

A

Under the tongue

Multiple ducts to prevent clogging

35
Q

What kind of saliva is produced by the parotid gland?

A

Watery

36
Q

What kind of saliva is produced by the submandibular gland?

A

Watery or thick/sticky

37
Q

What kind of saliva is produced by the sublingual gland?

A

Stickier (mucous gland)

38
Q

What tissues is the nose made up of?

A

Mainly cartilage and some connective tissue

39
Q

What divides the nose?

A

Nasal septum

40
Q

What bone is in the upper region of the nose?

A

Ethmoid bone

41
Q

What causes turbulation of air in the nose?

A

Inferior concha

42
Q

Why is it good to turbulate the air in the nose?

A

Dust sticks to mucous membrane

Warms air due to rich blood supply

43
Q

Which sinus is next to the pituitary gland?

A

Sphenoidal sinus

44
Q

What is the oral vestibule?

A

Cleft between lips/cheeks and teeth/gums

45
Q
