Oral And Pharyngeal Musculature Flashcards
Name the 6 basic landmark structures of the oral cavity
- Hard Palate
- Soft Palate
- Uvula - Palatoglossal arch
- Palatine Tonsil
- Palatopharyngeal Arch
- Frenulum
Name the muscles of the oral region
- Orbicularis Oris
- Mylohyoid
- Geniohyoid
- Stylohyoid
Name the extrinsic tongue muscles
- Hyloglossus
- Styloglossus
- Palatoglossus
- Genioglossus
Name the intrinsic tongue muscles
- Superior longitudinal
- Vertical
- Transverse
- Inferior Longitudinal
Name the innervation, attachments, and function of the Orbicularis oris muscle
Innervation: CN VII
Attachments: Maxilla and inserts directly into lips
Function: controls movements of the mouth and lips
Name the innervation, attachments, and function of the Mylohyoid
Innervation: Trigeminal V3
Attachments: Mylohyoid line of Mandible and body of Hyoid bone
Function: Depresses the mandible, raises the floor of the mouth during swallowing, and elevates the hyoid bone
Name the innervation, attachments, and function of the geniohyoid muscle
Innervation: CN XII
Attachments: Lesser horn hyoid bone and genial spines
Function: Carry hyoid bone and tongue upward during deglutition
Name the innervation, attachments, and function of the Stylohyoid muscle
Innervation: CN VII
Attachments: Styloid process and Body of hyoid next to lesser horn of hyoid
Function: Elevate the hyoid during swallowing
Name the innervation, Attachments, and function of the Hyoglossus Muscle
Innervation: CNXII
Attachments: Hyoid bone (greater horn and anterior body) and Lateral tongue between styloglossus and inferior longitudinal
Function: Depresses the tongue
Name the innervation, function, and attachments of the Styloglossus Muscle
Innervation: CNXII
Attachments: Styloid Process of temporal bone and tongue (Longitudinal part with inferior Longitudinal and oblique part with hyoglossus)
Function: Elevates and retracts the tongue
Name the innervation, attachments, and function of the Platoglossus Muscle
Innervation: CN X
Attachments: Palatine aponeurosis and lateral tongue
Function: Elevates the root of the tongue, Closes thee oropharyngeal isthmus by contracting the palatoglossal arch
Name the innervation, attachments, and function of the Genioglossus Muscle
Innervation: CN XII
Attachments: Mandible (superior genial spine via intermediate tendon
Insertion: Inferior fibers: body of hyoid bone
Intermediate fibers: Posterior tongue
Superior Fibers: Ventral surface of the tongue
Function: Protrustion of the tongue
Bilateral: makes the dorsum concave
Unilateral: deviation to opposite side
Name innervation, attachments and function for the Intrinsic muscles of the tongue
Innervation : CN XII
Attachments: originates and inserts within the tongue
Function: alter shape of tongue by lengthening or shortening the tongue
Which muscle shortens the tongue and makes the dorsum concave?
Superior longitudinal muscle
Which muscle shortens the tongue and makes the dorsum convex?
Inferior longitudinal Muscle
Which muscle narrows or elongates the tongue (side to side)?
Transverse muscle
Which muscle widens and flattens the tongue (up and down)?
Vertical muscle
Where do the Nasopalatine, Greater Palatine, and lesser palatine nerves come from?
CN V2
What are the 5 muscles that act on the palate?
- Tensor Veli Palatini
- Levator Veli Palatini
- Uvular Muscle
- Palatoglossus Muscle
- Palatopharyngeus muscle
What innervates the Tensor Veli Palatini and what does it do?
Innervation: CN V3
Action: Tenses the soft Palate
What innervates the Levator Veli Palatini and what does it do?
Innervation: CN X
Function: Elevates the soft palate
T/F Both the Tensor Veli Paltini and the levator Veli Palatini help to separate the nasal and oral regions.
