HEAD AND NECK: ORAL CAVITY Flashcards
slit like space extending from lips to oropharyngeal isthmus
oral cavity
superior and inferior limitations of oral cavity
reflections of mucous membrane from lips and cheeks onto gums
roof of oral cavity by
hard palate - front
soft palate - behind
floor of oral cavity by
ant. 2/3rd tongue
mucous membrane reflection from tongue to gums of mandible
components of oral cavity
oral vestibule
oral cavity proper
oral vestibule lies between
gums and teeth
oral cavity proper lies
within and behind the teeth arch
external communication of oral vestibule thru
oral fissure (oral orifice)
where does oral vestibule communicate with oral cavity proper
behind 3rd molar (jaws closed)
what structure attaches tongue to the floor
frenulum
what is frenulum
fold of mucous membrane
what is the small papilla on the floor of the mouth on either side of frenulum
orifice of Wharton’s duct of submandibular gland
what is the rounded ridge of mucous membrane extending laterally backwards from the papilla
sublingual fold
what forms the sublingual fold
protrusion of the sublingual gland
lateral wall of vestibule is formed by
cheeks
cheeks are composed of
buccinator muscle
outer covering of cheek
skin and buccopharyngeal fascia
where does the Stensen’s duct open
opposite the 2nd upper molar
nerve supply of the roof of the mouth
greater palatine nerve, nasopalatine nerve (maxillary division of CN V/ CN V2)
nerve supply of floor of mouth
lingual nerve (mandibular division of CN V/ CN V3)
taste fibers arise from
chorda tympani (facial nerve branch)
nerve supply of cheek
buccal nerve (branch of CN V3)
