Oral Cavity Flashcards
_____ _____ extends from the lateral corner of the nose to the angle of the mouth
nasolabial sulcus
clinically, a unilateral diminution or absence of the sulcus may indicate a neurological disorder
______ is a shallow, midline sulcus b/w the nose and the upper lib
Philtrum
___ _____ is the red portion of the lips and is due to the thin epithelium and extensive underlying capillary network
Red margin
upper and lower ___ _____ are midline folds of mucosa which extend b/w the inside of the lips to the gingivae
labial frenulae
What lymph nodes do the lips drain?
drain directly into the submental and submandubular (pericervical) lymph nodes, then into the deep cervical nodes
The skin of the cheek is ______ __ ______ epithelium and is innervate by the __________ nerve.
keratinized stratified squamous
buccinator nerve V (long buccal nerve)
Describe the buccal fat pad
the buccal fat pad is compartmentalized and encapsulated
in infants it provide leverage for sucking
Immediately deep to the buccal fat pad is the _________ muscle
buccinator
What pierces the buccinator muscle?
the parotid duct
the orifice of the parotid duct is located on the inner cheek opposite the crown of the 2nd upper molar
what innervates the buccinator muscle?
facial nerve
Describe the relationships of the sublingual region.
lingual n. spirals around the submandibular duct from superior-lateral to inferior-medial
the hypoglossal n. enters this region considerably more posterior and deeper and is adherent to the hypoglossus m.
Where does the submandibular gland drain?
The sublingual caruncle or papilla located at the antero-medial end of the sublingual fold
What is the position of the sublingual salivary gland?
flattened between the mandible and genioglossus/ geniohyoid m in the floor of the mouth and rest upon the superior surface of the mylohyoid
the submandibular duct crosses the medial side of the gland
Describe the parasympathetic innervation to the Sublingual gland.
Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers from the superior salivatory nucleus exits the brainstem w/ Facial n. travel through the chorda tympani and join lingual then enter submandibular ganglion
Postganglionic parasympathetic fibers are short branches to the submandibular gland
Describe the sympathetic innervation to the Sublingual gland.
Postganglion sympathetic fiber originate in the SCG then enter the external carotid plexus to the facial plexus then enter the sublingual plexus which course in the adventitia of the sublingual branch of the lingual artery.
The epithelium on the anterior 2/3 of the tongue is innervate by the ______ and _____ nerves
trigeminal nerve (GSA fibers for pain, temperature, and touch) facial nerve (SVA taste fibers)
The epithelium on the posterior 1/3 of the tongue is innervated by the _______ nerve.
glossopharyngeal nerve, which supplies both GSA and SVA fibers
The intrinsic muscle of the tongue are derived from head myotomes and are innervated by ___ fiber from the _______ nerve.
GSE, hypoglossal nerve
