Q

What provides general sensory function of the Post 1/3 of the tongue?

A

CN IX and X - Glossopharyngeal and Vagus

Sensory fibers exit brain -> Jugular foramen -> sensory cell bodies of Sup/Inf Glossopharngeal and vasal ganglia -> tongue

17
Q

What provides Special sensory (taste) of the Ant 2/3 of the tongue?

A

CN VII - Facial

Sensory fibers exit -> Int. acoustic meatus -> Geniculate ganglion -> facial canal -> Chordae tympani nerve through the middle ear -> petrotympanic fissure -> infratemporal fossa -> joins lingual nerve of V3 -> Tongue

18
Q

What provides Special sensory (taste) of the Post. 1/3 of the tongue?

A

CN IX - Glossopharyngeal

Sensory fibers exit -> Jugular foramen -> Sup/Inf glossopharyngeal ganglion -> tongue

19
Q

What branches of nerves lie in the floor of the mouth ?

A

Lingual nerve (branch of V3)
Chorda tympani and Submandibular Ganglion (of CN VII)
Glossopharyngeal nerve
Hypoglossal nerve

20
Q

The Lingual nerve branches off of what cranial nerve and provides what function?

A

21
Q

What salivary glands are located at the floor of the mouth?

A

Submandibular and Sublingual salivary glands

22
Q

What provides arterial blood supply to the submandibular gland?

A

Facial artery - submental artery

23
Q

What provides arterial blood supply to the sublingual gland?

A

Lingual artery - sublingual artery

24
Q

What nerve provides the Parasympathetic function of the Submandibular and sublingual glands?

A

CN VII - Facial

Sup. Salivatory Nucleus -> int. acoustic meatus -> facial canal -> chorda tympani through middle ear -> petrotympanic fissure -> infratemporal fossa -> joins lingual nerve of V3 -> Synapse at submandibular ganglion -> continue onto submandibular and sublingual glands

25
Q

What structures run deep to the hyoglossus muscle?

A

Lingual artery

26
Q

What structures run superficial to the hyoglossus muscle?

A
