Oral Cavity Flashcards
Anterior boundary of the oral cavity
Lips
Posterior boundary of the oral cavity
Ororpharynx
Superior border of the oral cavity
Palate
Inferior boundary of the oral cavity
Front of Mouth
Function of ridges on palate
Aids in mastication
Where is the palatine ralphe
The midline fusion of bone on palate
Function of palatoglossal arch
Palatoglossal attaches laterally the palate to the tongue
Function of the palatopharyngeal arch
Palatopharyngeal connects the palate to the pharynx
The function of the tensor veli palatini?
Tenses the palate, innervated by the trigemenimal nerve (CN5)
Function of levator veli palatini muscle and innervation?
Lifts the palate innervated by the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve
Where is the origin and insertion of the levator veli palatini muscle
Origin temporal bone and inserts into the palatine aponeurosis
Function of the palatoglossus muscle
Connects palate to the tongue, blocks off oropharynx, draws the soft palate inferiorly
What nerve innervates almost all muscles of the tongue
Hypoglossal nerve
What nerve innervates the palatoglossus
The pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve
Three muscles that make up the floor of the mouth
Geniohyoid, Mylohyoid, and Diagastric (Anterior and Posterior belly)
Innervation of the geniohyoid muscle
Hypoglossal Nerve CN12
Innervation of the Mylohyoid muscle
Trigeminal Nerve CNV
Innervation of the Diagastric muscles, posterior belly and anterior belly
Posterior belly - CN7
Anterior Belly - CN5
Insertion of the Geniohyoid muscle
Inferior genial tubercles, inside of the mandible superior
Insertion of mylohyoid
Mandible
Origin of mylohyoid
Mandible,
Origin of posterior belly diagastric muscle
Mastoid notch of temporal bone
