oral cavity Flashcards
oral cavity borders
lips, cheeks, palatoglossal folds, palate, mylohyoid m.
vestibule is the…
space between the lips/cheeks and the teeth
oral cavity proper is the…
space between teeth
palatoglossal arch
external features of the oral cavity (4)
- Lips – thin less pigmented epithelium, superficial vascular supply
* No sweat/sebaceous glands
* Labial glands are present at border of lips and oral mucosa - Angle of the mouth = commissure of the lips
- Philtrum – midline depression between nose and upper lip
- Vermillion border – transition between lips and skin
* Site of infections, cold sores, cheilitis (various inflammation)
mucolabial fold vs mucobuccal fold
mucolabial: teeth and lips
mucobuccal: teeth and cheeks
what features are within the cheeks?
buccal submucosa with glands
buccinator
parotid papilla (opposite 2nd molar)
sublingual caruncles
openings for sublingual and submandibular gland ducts, on either side of lingual frenulum
*associated with glands
sublingual folds
tubular ducts for sublingual gland – empty saliva here below tongue
*associated with glands
submandibular ducts aka
Wharton’s duct
gingiva is a _____ layer covering alveolar bone
mucousal
fuaces that separate oral cavity from pharynx
palatoglossal arch
palatine tonsils
palatopharyngeal arch
green: palatoglossal arch
red: palatine tonsils
yellow: palatopharyngeal arch
vasculature of the fauces
- Descending palatine artery (maxillary a.)
- Ascending palatine a. (br of facial a.)
- Tonsillar br. (facial a.)
- Ascending pharyngeal a. (br of ECA)
- Dorsal lingual a. (br of lingual a.)
innervation of the fauces
- CN V-2 - Lesser palatine n. sensory and innervates
the tonsil - CN VII – parasympathetic Gr. Petrosal
fibers = glands - Sympathetic – Deep Petrosal fibers
- CN IX – Sensory (posterior)
what is the landmark for anesthetic injection for the IA block?
pterygomandibular raphe
What muscle attachments is pterygomandibular raphe made up of?
posterior attachment for buccinator
anterior attachment for pharyngeal constrictor
What innervates the 1st molar
MB Cusp USUALLY?
middle superior alveolar nerve
*posterior superior alveolar nerve to the palatal and distobuccal roots
Foliate papilla are located
on sides of tongue
fungiform papilla are located on the
dorsum
filiform papilla are located on the
central/dorsum
circumvallate papilla are located
in the medial plane
muscles of the oral cavity (7)
mylohyoid
geniohyoid
stylohyoid
hyoglossus
styloglossus
palatoglossus
geniorglossus
mylohyoid muscle
mylohyoid muscle function
elevate hyoid and tongue during swallowing
geniohyoid muscle function
elevate hyoid and tongue during swallowing
