Lecture 16: Oral Cavity & Esophagus Flashcards
digestive chemical process begins in
the mouth
2 areas of the oral cavity
- Oral vestibule
- Oral cavity proper
borders of oral vestibule
upper lip & teeth, lower lip & teeth
Associated structures of the oral vestibule
-superior labial frenulum
-gingivae
-inferior labial frenulum
what attaches teeth to gums
superior & inferior labial frenulum
Oral cavity proper borders
-posterior border: palatoglossal arch & palatopharyngeal arch
-Superior border: hard & soft palate
-Inferior border: tongue
associated structures of the oral cavity
uvula, lingual frenulum & palatine tonsil
what does the lingual frenulum attach
tongue to floor of mouth
salivary glands
-parotid gland
-submandibular gland
-sublingual gland
-minor glands
3 types of salivary glands
- mucous (lubrication)
- Serous (enzyme containing)
- seromucous
Parotid gland location
anterior to ears, between masseter and skin
what opens behind second upper molar
stensons duct; SEROUS
parotid gland is innervated by
CN IX, glossopharangeal
Submandibular gland location
-inferior to mandible and in between digastric muscles
what opens lateral to linguinal frenulum
Wharton’s duct; SEROMUCOUS
what is the submandibular gland innervated by
CN VII, facial
what empties the submandibular gland
WHarton’s duct
Sublinguinal gland location
-floor of oral cavity inferior to tongue
what connects with Wharton’s duct
Bartholin’s Duct; MUCOUS
what empties the sublinguinal gland
WHarton’s duct
what innervated the sublinguial gland
CN VII, facial
what separates the anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 of the tongue
sulcus terminalis
Features of tongue (5)
- Lingual tonsil
- Foliate papillae
- Filiform papillae
- Fungiform papillae
- Circumvallate papillae
WHich features of the tongue have taste buds
-foliate papillae
-fungiform papillae
-circumvallate papillae
