29
Q

Generally describe the tongue.

A

Fills the oral cavity proper and extends into the oropharynx

Suppored caudally by the hypid bone

30
Q

What does the tongue (Lingua, Glossa) consist of?

A
  • striated skeletal muscle
  • connective tissue
  • adipose tissue
  • mucous membrane
  • receptors for taste, pain, and temperature
31
Q

What are the functions of the tongue (Lingua, Glossa)?

A
  • manipulating the food within the mouth
  • lapping water
  • swallowing
  • enhace heat lose by panting in dogs
32
Q

Describe the dorsal surface of the tongue (dorsum linguae).

A

Opposite the palate

Lingual mucosa thick, heavily cornified

Median groove - divides the dorsum into two symmetrical halves

33
Q

Describe the ventral surface of the tongue (facies ventralis linguae).

A

Lingual mucosa less cornified

34
Q

What are the four parts of the tongue?

A

Apex (apex lingue)

Lyssa

Body

Root

35
Q

Describe the Apex (apex lingue) part of the tongue.

A

Rostral portion

Dorsal and ventral surface

36
Q

Describe the Lyssa part of the tongue.

A

Median filiform structure

Embedded in the musculature along the ventral surface of the apex

Encapsulated by dense sheath of connective tissue, whihc is filled by adipose tissue, striated muscle, cartilage (small amount)

37
Q

Describe the body of the tongue.

A

Caudal to the apex

Lies in the intermandibular space

Frenulum (median fold) - connects the bod to the floor of the oral cavity

38
Q

Describe the root of the tongue.

A

Caudal to the body

Seperated from the body by the vallate papillae

Lies in the intermandibular space

39
Q

Describe the Lingual mucosa?

A

The epithelium forms numerous papillae on the dorsal surface of the tongue

They are named based on their shapte

Based on their function there are two groups of papillae

40
Q

Describe Mechanical papillae

A

More numerous than the gustatory papillae

Protecting the deeper structures from injury

  • Filiform papillae
  • Conical papillae
41
Q

Describe Gustatory papillae.

A

Contains taste buds.

  • Fungiform papillae
  • Vallate papillae
  • Foliate papillae
42
Q

Describe the Filiform papillae.

A

Smallest and most numerous papillae

Directed caudally, arranged in diagonal rows

On the root of the tongue they are reducted in number

Absent on the later and ventral surface

43
Q

Describe the Conical papillae.

A

Larger, less frequent

Located on the dorsum of the caudal third of the tongue

Wide circular base, hard point apex

44
Q

Describe the Fungiform papillae

A

Contains taste buds

Less numerous than filiform papillae

Found on the rostral two thrids of the tongue, among the filiform papillae

45
Q

Describe the Vallate papillae.

A

Contains taste buds

2-3 pairs (most commonly four)

Located on the caudal third of the dorsum of the tongue

Located on both sides of the median groove

Arranged in the form of a “V”

The point of the “V” is always directed caudally

Surrouunded by a circular cleft (old name - circumvallate papillae)

Do not project above the surface of the tongue

46
Q

Describe the Foliate papillae.

A

Located on the dorsolateral aspect of the caudal third of the tongue, just rostral to the palatoglossal fold

Contains taste buds only in dogs

Not very distinct in dog

Action

  • Ass a unit protrude the tongue
