*All innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (CNXII) except the palatoglossus (CNX)

45
Q

label extrinsic muscle parts

A
46
Q

posterior 1/3rd is CN9

motor:
hypoglossal nerve CN12
vagus nerve CN10 (only palatoglossul extrinsic muscle )

special (taste):
anterior 2/3rds is chorda tympani CN3
postriro 1/3rd is glossopharyngeal CN9

47
Q

what are salivary glands and the two parts

A

produce saliva
*Minor Salivary Glands (AKA intrinsic salivary glands)
Scattered within the mucosa of the tongue, palate, lips, and cheeks

*Major Salivary Glands (AKA extrinsic salivary glands)
*Lie external to the oral cavity
*Connect to the oral cavity via ducts
*There are three major salivary glands

48
Q

what is the largest major salivary gland?

A

parotid salivary glanda major
- (extrinsic) salivary gland
(near the ear) and on each side of the face

*Parotid duct pierces the buccinator muscle and opens opposite to the upper second molar
*Parotid gland and duct run superficial to the masseter muscle

parasymp innervation is teh glossopharyngeal (CN9)

49
Q

where does the parotid duct (the parotid salivary gland) pierce?

A

Parotid duct pierces the buccinator muscle and opens opposite to the upper second molar

50
Q

what is the clinical relevance and relation of parotid tumours and nerves nearby

A

*The extracranial portion of the facial nerve (CNVII) pierces the parotid gland
*Once it emerges from it, it gives off its 5 terminal motor branches which innervate the muscles of facial expression

Parotid tumors
*Parotidectomy (resection of parotid tumor) a potential injury to facial nerve
= facial nerve paralysis
