Oral Cavity Flashcards
The tongue is divided into left and right halves by
It’s parts and surfaces
Median sulcus
Oral
Oropharynx
Root
Dorsal
Ventral
The dorsal surface I’d divided into ___ by
Ant. 2/3
Pst.1/3
Sulcus terminalis
Sulcus terminalis faces backwards and is marked by a pit called
foramen cecum
The ant. 2/3 is rough contain 3 different kinds of papillae called
And it’s cover in thin mucosa
Filliforn– no tastebud
Fungiform
Folaite
Vallate
Xteristic of the pst. 1/3
Contains no papillae
It shows nodular surface due to underlying lymphatic nodules and tonsils
Arrange the papillae base on its position
Vallate– arranged in v shape In front of the terminalis sulcus
At the lateral side of the tongue close to the base is–foliate
Filliform– at the center close to the midline & sensitive to touch
Fungiform–at the tip(apex)
The inf. /ventral surface of the tongue is connected to the mouth by?
Frenulum of the tongue
Lat. To the frenulum is the deep lingual vein and lat. To it is a mucosa fold called
Plica fimbriata
In general what’s the function of the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles
In general, extrinsic muscles alter the position of the
tongue, and intrinsic muscles alter its shape
List the intrinsic muscles
What’s the xteristic of the intrinsic muscle?
4
Sup. Longitudinal
Inf. Longitudinal
Tranvese
Vertical muscles
It’s confined to the tongue i.e no bony attachment
List the extrinsic muscles
What’s the xteristic of the extrinsic muscle?
4
Palatoglossus
Genioglosus
Hypoglosus
Styloglosus
Connects the tongue to other supporting structures like hard, soft palate and bones(mandible styloid process, hyoid bone)
The four intrinsic and four extrinsic
muscles in each half of the tongue are separated by a
median fibrous lingual
septum
What muscles are responsible for the following movements
1. Protrusion
2. Retraction
3. Elevation
4. Depression
- Genioglosus
- Stylo and hyo glossus
- Stylo and palato glossus
- Genio and hyo glossus
What motor nerve innervate the tongue
Both intrinsic & extrinsic receives motor innervation from CN XII the hypoglossal nerve
Except palatoglossus muscle by pharyngeal plexus
What sensory nerve innervate the tongue
Ant. 2/3
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
