A

Facial nerve

25
Q

What is the nerve supply to the muscles of floor of the oral cavity?

A

Geniohyoid supplied by fibres from C1

the mylohyoid and anterior belly of digastric by the mandibular branch for the trigeminal

26
Q

A

Maxillary nerve

27
Q

What is the nerve supply to the mucosal membrane of the lateral walls and floor of the oral cavity?

A

Mandibular division of the trigeminal

28
Q

Where is the tongue situated?

A

The anterior 2/3rds rests within the oral cavity whilst the posterior 1/3 lies in the oropharynx

29
Q

What is the role of intrinsic muscles of the tongue?

A

change the shape of the tongue

30
Q

What is the role of the extrinsic muscles of the tongue?

A

change its position

31
Q

What is the muscles tongue innervated by?

A

All muscles of the tongue except the palatoglossus are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve
The palatoglossus is innervated by the pharyngeal plexus

32
Q

What nerves responsible for general sensation innervate the tongue?

A

For general sensationthe anterior 2/3 is via the lingual nerve, a branch of CN V3

33
Q

What nerves responsible for taste innervate the tongue?

A

The Chorda tympani (CN VII)

34
Q

What is the posterior 1/3 of the tongue and vallate papillae supplied by?

A

Lingual branch of CN IX

35
Q

What is the blood supply to the tongue?

A

Lingual artery

36
Q

What is the venous drainage of the dorsal and sides of the tongue?

A

Posterior lingual veins, that lead to the lingual veins

The lingual vein drains into the internal jugular vein

37
Q

What does the remainder of the tongue venous drain into?

A

The deep lingual and sublingual veins that join to lead to the facial vein

38
Q

Where does the lymphatic drainage of the tongue occur?

A

Towards the deep cervical nodes

39
Q

Where do the ducts of the parotid glad enter the mouth?

A

Near the upper 2nd molar tooth

40
Q

What secretion is the parotid gland?

A

Serous

41
Q

Where does the duct for the submandibular gland enter the mouth?

A

Floor of the mouth

42
Q

What are the secretion of the submandibular gland?

A

serous and mucous

43
Q

Where does the sublingual gland enter the mouth?

A

It has between 16 and 20 short ducts which open in the floor of the mouth

44
Q

What are the secretions of the sublingual gland?

A

Mucus

45
Q

What are the functions of the minor salivary glands?

A

Maintains oral hygiene as the continual background level of secretion flushes the oral surfaces and helps to control the level of bacteria

46
Q

What is the function of the nose and nasal cavity?

A

Allows for smell
Forms upper protein of respiratory tract
Moistens and warms inspired air
Filters air to remove foreign particles

47
Q

What bones form the floor of the nasal cavity?

A

Palatine bone

48
Q

What bones form the roof of the nasal cavity?

A

The cribriform plate (ethmoid)

49
Q

What are the three circular tube-like protrusions in the lateral wall of the nasal cavity called?

A

Conchae

50
Q

What is the purpose of conchae?

A

Force incoming air to swirl around which slows it down sufficiently to be warmed and proper the dust and bacteria towards the mucus layer
