General sensation of the ant. 2/3 is by lingual nerve
For special sense of the ant. 2/3 is by chorda tympani ( taste fibers
from CN VII)
Pst. 1/3 & Base
For general and special is glossopharyngeal nerve
Arteries and veins of the tongue
Lingual A(Dorasal) supplies the root of the tongue and Palatine tonsil
Deep Lingual A supplies the body of the tongue
Sublingual A supplies the floor of the mouth and sublingual gland
Deep lingual vein located @ the apex drains pst. to sublingual V and then to inferior jugular vein
Lymphatic drainage of the tongue
Ant. 2/3
Submandibular and Deep cervical nodes
Pst. 1/3 Deep cervical nodes( jugulodigasric mainly)
What’s the medical term for tongue tied and what causes it?
Ankilogosia due to large frenulum
During angina pectoris drugs like nitroglycerin is sprayed underneath the tongue for sublingual absorption
What nerves are responsible for gag reflex
Vagus (X) and glossopharyngeal N (IX)
The hard palate is formed by
And bounded by
Palatine processes of the maxilla at the front
Horizontally by plates of Palatine bones
Alveolar arch
The undersurface of the hard palate is covered by
Mucoperiosteom
What part of the hard palate has incisive foramen
Directly behind the central incisors at the ant. Midline
A route for nasoplalatine nerve
What are the composition of the soft palate
Mucos membrane (covers the upper and lower surfaces)
Palatine aponeurosis
Muscles
What are the muscles of the soft palate
Tensor veli palatini
Levator veli palatini
Musculus uvulae
Palatoglossus
Palatopharyngeus
ACTIONS OF SOFT PALATE MUSCLES
READ
Features of the Palatine aponeurosis
Fibrous sheath attached to Pat. Part of hard palate
It’s the expanded tendon of tensor veli palatini muscle
What’s the motor nerve supply for the soft palate
Supplied by pharyngeal plexus except tensor veli palatini
Tensor veli palatini = mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve
Sensory innervation of the soft palate
Glossopharyngeal nerve supplies the soft palate
What’s the blood supply to the palates
Branches of the maxillary artery
Greater and lesser Palatine artery, Sphenopalatine A
Ascending Palatine branch of facial artery
Ascending pharyngeal of the external carotid artery
What are the four main salivary gland
Major– 2 Parotid and 2 Submandibular gland
Minor– Sublingual and Multiple minor gland
What’s the largest salivary gland
Parotid gland
The parotid gland is mostly of _____ acini
Serous
What’s the secretorymotor nervation to the parotid gland
Parasympathetic secretorymotor nervation arises from glossopharyngeal N
What’s the route of the glossopharyngeal nerve to the parotid gland
Via tympanic branch–lesser petrosal N–Otic ganglion— Auriculotemporal Nerve
What are the structures within the parotid gland
Maxillary A&V, Superficial temporal A&V,
Facial N, Mandibular, Buccal, cervical, Temporal, Z ygomatic branch
The submandibular gland consists of ____ type of acini
Serous and mucous acini
What’s the position of the submandibular gland
It lies below the lower boder of the mandible divided into superficial and deep by the mylohyoid muscle
What’s the arterial supply to the submandibular gland
Submental artery
What’s the secretorymotor innervation to the submandibular gland
Parasympathetic secretorymotor innervation is from the facial nerve
Via chorda tympani– submandibular ganglion
What’s the features of the sublingual gland
It’s the smallest and mist deeply situated
Each is almond shape lying btw the mandible on the floor of the mouth
Arterial supply to the sublingual gland
And innervation
Sublingual and submental artery
Same as submandibular
There are about how many minor salivary gland and how are they distributed
450
Mucosa of the lip

tongue.
CN VII by way of the chorda tympani nerve, lingual nerve, and
submandibular ganglion
