What is the oral cavity divided into?
oral cavity proper and the oral vestibule
What forms the roof of the mouth?
hard palate and soft palate
What forms the floor of the mouth?
mylohyoid and geniohyoid
What forms the posterior boundary of the mouth?
oropharyngeal isthmus
What forms the anterior wall of the mouth?
inner surface of lips
What forms the lateral walls of the mouth?

What are the parts of the tongue?
- foramen cecum
- valleculae
- terminal sulcus
- lingual tonsil
- midline groove
What provides sensory innervation (taste + general) to the posterior 1/3 of the tongue?
glossopharyngeal nerve CN IX
What provides sensory innervation (taste) to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue?
facial nerve CN VII
What provides sensory information (general) to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue?

What are the 4 extrinsic tongue muscles?
- genioglossus
- hyoglossus
- styloglossus
- palatoglossus
What is the action performed by genioglossus?
protrusion and lateral deviation of the tongue
What is the action performed by hyoglossus?
depression and retraction of the tongue
What is the action performed by styloglossus?
elevates and retracts the tongue
What is the action performed by palatoglossus?
elevation of tongue/depression of soft palate
What innervates the extrinsic tongue muscles?
the hypoglossal nerve, except the palatoglossus muscle which is innervated by the vagus nerve
What are the 3 intrinsic tongue muscles?
- longitudinal mm.
- vertical mm.
- transverse mm.
What is the function of longitudinal muscles?
shorten the tongue
What is the function of the vertical muscles?
flatten and widen the tongue
What is the function of the transverse muscles?
narrow and thicken the tongue
What are the intrinsic tongue muscles innervated by?
hypoglossal nerve CN XII
What nerve innervates the palatoglossus muscle?
the vagus nerve
Which artery and vein provide vasculature to the tongue?
the lingual artery and vein
What is the lingual artery a branch of?
the external carotid artery
What does the lingual vein drain into?
internal jugular vein
