Lecture 34: Oral Cavity Flashcards
2 spaces/divisions of mouth due to teeth
vestibule
oral cavity proper
vestibule: definition
space between lips/cheeks and teeth
lips and cheek contact the teeth
oral cavity proper: definition, what fills this space
space internal to teeth
filled by tongue
frenulum definition/location, function
midline mucosal fold that fixes central portion of tongue to floor of oral cavity
which regions of tongue are mobile vs immobile
rostral = very mobile
caudal portion = immobile
why is caudal tongue portion immobile (what is it attached to)
root of tongue attached to basihyoid bone
tongue attached to epiglottis
what attaches tongue to epiglottis
median glossoepiglottic fold (midline mucosal fold)
valleculae: how formed, location
median glossoepiglottic fold creates 2 small pockets on either side of midline
caudal tongue
dorsal surface of tongue is characterized by
presence of several different kinds of papillae
filiform papillae: definition, location, function
keratinized papillae on dorsal surface of tongue
protects tongue from sharp particles of food
are filiform papillae associated with taste buds
no
main types of papillae in tongue (4)
filiform
fungiform
foliate
vallate
vallate papillae: definition, location
largest papillae in tongue
restricted to line or area towards caudal end of dorsal surface of tongue
ventral vs dorsal surface of tongue
dorsal = keratinized, tougher
ventral = less keratinized, softer, more vulnerable
feline papillae difference (and why important)
keratinized filiform papillae larger and directed caudally
aid in grooming of fur
which papillae gives cat tongues the characteristic rough texture
keratinized filiform
lyssa definition/location, function
stiff connective tissue (collagenous) rod embedded in apex of tongue
help support freely mobile apex
2 groups of tongue muscles
intrinsic
extrinsic
intrinsic tongue muscles: function, innervation, location
dorsal and lateral parts of body
control shape and movements of tongue
hypoglossal nerve
extrinsic tongue muscles: general function, innervation
control position and gross movements
hypoglossal nerve
4 extrinsic tongue muscles
genioglossus
hypoglossus
styloglossus
palatoglossus
genioglossus: OINA
O - medial surface of mandible
I - midline ventral surface of tongue
A - depress tongue
N - hypoglossal
hypoglossus: OINA
O - basihyoid
I - lateral side of caudal portion of tongue
A - retract tongue (push back during swallowing)
N - hypoglossal
which extrinsic tongue muscle is not innervated by CN XII
palatoglossus
styloglossus: OINA
O - stylohyoid
I - lateral surface of tongue along most of teeth
N - hypoglossal
A - retract tongue
