Oral Cavity Flashcards
boundries of the oral cavity
roof,floor,lateral walls, ant. opening, pos. aperture
oropharyngeal isthmus ?
Opening b/w oral cavity & oropharynx
oral vestibule
space b/w the lipss/cheeks and teeth, feeding tubes for broken jaw
oral cavity proper is enclosed by ?
dental archs
sensory oral cavity innervation is controlled predominantly by
branches of cn5
upper teeth and palate are controlled by ?
superior alveolar nerves - max nerve
lower teeth and oral part of tongue innervation ?
Inferior alveolar nerves & lingual nerves- V3
Oropharyns is innervated by
CN10
All glands above the level of oral fissure are innervated by
greater petrosal nerve
all glands below the level of the oral fissure are innervared by
chorda tympani
skeletal frame work of the oral cavity ?
Maxillae Palatine Bone,Sphenoid Bone,Temporal Bone,Hyoid, Mandible
maxillae vs palatine bones
1) Palatine processes form anterior 3/4 of hard palate; 2) Alveolar processes hold upper teeth
Palatine – forms posterior 1/4 of hard palate and attachment of the soft palate
sphenoid bone ?
pterygoid processes associated with soft palate structures
Pterygoid hamulus –
- pulley for tensor veli palatini muscle
- attaches upper end of pterygomandibular raphe
stylohyoid
Draw hyoid backwards & elevate tongue
inf mental spines of the mandible attach to the
geniohyoid
sup mental spine of the mandible attach to the
genioglossus
what muscles attach at the coronoid process of the mandible
massester and temporalis
what muscles attach at the the condylar process ?
articular disc od tmj and lateral pterygoid
wjat muscles attach at the ramus
medial pterygoid and masseter
