Oral Cavity Flashcards
Blood supply to lips
Superior and inferior labial arteries (branches of facial) - lips
mental artery (inferior alveolar) - chin
buccal (maxillary) - cheek
fauces
junction between oral cavity and oropharynx
palatoglossal arch/fold
anterior boundary of palatine tonsilar bed
formed by palatoglossus covered by mucosa
palatopharyngeal arch/fold
posterior boundary of palatine tonsilar bed
sublingual fold
formed by sublingual salivary gland under tongue
sublingual caruncle
contains opening for submandibular duct
parotid papilla
opening of parotid duct opposite 2nd mx molar
What structures run through the incisive foramen?
nasopalatine nerve
septal artery
Sensation from mucosa of palate
maxillary trigeminal (v2)
innervation of the palatine glands
facial (VII)
palatoglossus
forms palatoglossal fold when covered with mucosa
aponeurosis - side of tongue
A: approx soft palate to oropharynx during swallowing
N: vagus (x)
palatopharyngeus
forms palatopharyngeal arch
hard/soft palate - posterior thyroid cartilage/pharyngeal constrictor
A: close nasopharynx during swallowing
N: vagus (X)
musculus uvulae
posterior nasal spine - palatine aponeurosis
A: elevates uvula
N: vagus (x)
oropharynx
posterior to oral cavity
which muscles insert into the pterygomandibular raphe
superior pharyngeal constrictor (medial)
buccinator (lateral)
blood supply to palatine tonsil is formed by tonsillar branches from:
lesser palatine (maxillary) facial (external carotid) ascending pharyngeal (external carotid) ascending palatine (facial)
