INTERNAL LOWER FACE Flashcards
ORAL VESTIBULE
space between teeth/gingivae and the lips and cheeks
WHAT MUSCLE FORMS THE FLOOR OF THE MOUTH AND WHERE DO BOTH SIDES JOIN
formed by the mylohyoid muscles that join in the midline at the mylohyoid raphe
WHAT MUSCLES ATTACH TO THE INFERIOR MENTAL SPINE AND FORM PART OF THE FLOOR OF THE MOUTH
geniohyoids - they sit superior to the mylohyoids either side of the midline
WHAT SEPARATES THE ANTERIOR 2/3 AND POSTERIOR 1/3 OF TONGUE
terminal sulcus
MIDLINE GROOVE (OF TONGUE)
divides anterior section into L and R
SUBLINGUAL CARUNCLE
opening of sublingual duct found inferior to tongue
also known as sublingual papilla
WHERE ARE THE DEEP LINGUAL VEINS FOUND
on either side of the frenulum of the tongue
deep lingual veins and sublingual folds overly the sublingual glands
WHAT SEPARATES L AND R TONGUE MUSCLES
sagittal septum
both intrinsic and extrinsic are separated by this
FUNCTION OF INTRINSIC TONGUE MUSCLES
alter shape and size of tongue
attachments are entirely within tongue no bony attachments involved
FUNCTION OF EXTRINSIC TONGUE MUSCLES
move the tongue e.g protrude, retract, elevate and depress
WHAT ARE THE INTRINSIC MUSCLES OF THE TONGUE
superior longitudanal
inferior longitudanal
vertical
transverse
WHAT ARE THE EXTRINSIC MUSCLES OF THE TONGUE
genioglossus
hyoglossus
styloglossus
palatoglossus
FUNCTION OF SUPERIOR AND INFERIOR LONGITUDANAL MUSCLES OF TONGUE
intrinsic muscles - make tongue short and thick
GENIOGLOSSUS
found superior to geniohyoid muscles
originates from superior mental spines of mandible
inferior fibres attach to hyoid and superior fibres blend with intrinsic muscles
protrudes tongue
HYOGLOSSUS
found lateral to genioglossus muscles
originates from greater horn of hyoid and fibres blend with intrinsic muscles on lateral aspects of tongue
important for depressing sides of tongue
STYLOGLOSSUS
originates from styloid process
fibres blend with intrinsic muscles and fibres of hyoglossus
elevates and retracts tongue
PALATOGLOSSUS
Muscle of tongue AND soft palate
originates from palatine aponeurosis and fibres pass inferiorly to blend with intrinsic muscles of lateral tongue
WHAT INNERVATES TONGUE MUSCLES
All CN XII except palatoglossus which is CN X
WHAT GIVES GENERAL SENSATION TO TONGUE
anterior 2/3 = CN V3 via lingual nerve
posterior 1/3 = glossopharyngeal CN IX
WHAT GIVES SPECIAL SENSATION TO TONGUE I.E TASTE
anterior 2/3 = CN VII via chorda tympani
posterior 1/3 = CN IX glossopharyngeal
ARTERIAL AND VENOUS DRAINAGE OF TONGUE
arterial supply = lingual artery (branch of ECA)
venous drainage = deep lingual and dorsal lingual veins (both drain into IJV)
WHERE DOES THE LINGUAL ARTERY ENTER THE TONGUE
between hyoglossus and genioglossus
WHERE DO THE LINGUAL AND HYPOGLOSSAL NERVES ENTER THE TONGUE
external surface of hyoglossus
WHAT PORTION OF THE GLAND DOES THE SUBMANDIBULAR DUCT ARISE FROM
the portion that lies between the mylohyoid and hyoglossus
