module 25 (done) Flashcards
lips
labia, labium
obicularis oris muscle
surrounding the mouth
mucous membrane of inner oral cavity
non-keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium
cheek muscle
buccinator (keeps food from falling out of moth) NOT chewing
oral vestibule
framed on the inside by the gums and teeth and the outside by the cheeks and lips
fauces
opening between oral cavity and throat
oral cavity proper
gums and teeth to fauces
hard palate
bones: maxillary and palatine bones
soft palate
posterior orbital cavity
skeletal muscle, fleshier
manipulated when yawn, swallow or sing
types of teeth
incisors, cuspid, premolars, molars
labial frenulum
connecting lips to gums
lingual frenulum
connecting tongue to floor of mouth
uvula
drops down from center of soft palate (moves upwards when swallowing to keep food from entering nasal cavity)
palatoglossal arch
towards front, surrounding tongue
palatopharyngeal arch
forms superior and lateral margins of fauces
palatine tonsils
between the two arches (palatoglossal & palatopharyngeal) clusters of lymphoid tissue that protect the pharynx (visible, large)
lingual tonsils
at base of tongue, small bumps, first line of defense
intrinsic muscles of tongue
allow you to change your tongue’s size and shape
extrinsic muscles
allow you to move the tongue in space (protract, retract, elevate, and depress
papillae
extensions of lamina propria of the mucosa, which are covered in stratified squamous epithelium
fungiform papillae
mushroom shaped, cover a large area of tongue, contain taste buds!
filiform papillae
long and thin, have touch receptors that help move food around in mouth, create abrasive surface (cats)
lingual glands
secrete mucus and watery serous fluid that contains lingual lipase
extrinsic muscles of tongue
- genioglossus (protrude tongue)
- hyoglossus (depresses/retraction)
- styloglussus (retraction /elevation)
- palatoglossus (elevates, draws soft palate towards tongue)
