2 groupings of organs
gut & accessory structures
gut = alimentary canal =

CN VII (facial)
space between lips/cheeks from teeth
vestibule
what is the mucosa coving alveolar bone/hard palate
gingiva
salivary glands and their paired ducts
parotid - Stensons
submandibular - Whartons
sublingual - Bartholins
functions of saliva
cleanses teeth, moistens food
saliva contains what enzyme
amylase: break down of starch
what is the thing holding your tongue to your mouth
lingual frenulum
tongue too tightly bound to the floor of mouth =

2 generations of teeth
deciduous teeth = baby teeth)
- erupt @ 6 months to 2 years
adult teeth (non0deciudous)
- erupt @ 6-21 years
when you lose your teeth you lose the
alveolar process

muscularis has 2 layers
inner layer = circular muscles
outer layer = longitudinal muscles
