oral cavity Flashcards
main tissues of oral cavity
cheeks,
gingivae are
gums
buccinator is innervated by
cranial nerve 7
gingivae have sensory information from
V2(top) and V3(bottom)
each of the 4 quadrants of teeth have
two incisors
incisors are for
chopping
canines are for
shredding
molars are for
grinding
each tooth has
enamel, neck, pulp cavity and root
what supplies the maxillary teeth with blood
superior alveolar vessels
the superior alveolar vessels are coming off of which artery
maxillary artery
sensory to the maxilla is provided by the
superior alveolar nerve
superior alveolar nerve branches off of which nerve
V2
what is the blood supply for the mandibular teeth
inferior alveolar vessels
the inferior alveolar vessels branch off
maxillary artery
the sensory for the mandibular teeth come from
inferior alveolar nerves (branch of CN V3)
the root of the tongue is located and contains
posterior 1/3 of tongue, oropharynx and lingual tonsil
what is the terminal sulcus and what surface is it on
separates the anterior 2/3 of the tongue from the posterior 1/3 on dorsal surface
location and contents of the body of the tongue
oral cavity, contains lingual papillae (bumps)
what is the lingual frenulum
midline mucosal fold that connects the floor and the oral cavity
what is the action of the intrinsic muscles of the tongue. Most notable with ____
fine movement shaping of the tongue (speaking)
what is the action of the extrinsic muscles of the tongue. Most notable with
allows gross/large movements and anchor the tongue to control position
what are the extrinsic muscles of the tongue
genioglossus, styloglossus, hyoglossus
what muscles of the tongue allow for side movement
genioglossus (unilaterally)
what muscle depresses the tongue
hyoglossus
what muscle protrudes the tongue
genioglossus (bilateral)
what muscle retrudes the tongue
styloglossus
motor function of the tongue is supplied by
hypoglossal nerve
the sensory innervation to the anterior 2/3 or the tongue are supplied by
CN V3, the lingual nerve
the glossopharyngeal nerve allows sensory information for what portion of the tongue
posterior 2/3 of tongue
the special sensory for the anterior 2/3 come from ______, more specifically the _____
cranial nerve 7, chorda tympani
if messgaes couldnt get to the chorda tympani
could feel tongue but not taste
the posterior 1/3 of special sensory for tongue
glossopharyngeal
