Stendon’s duct

24
Q

Where does stendon’s duct open?

A

behind the second upper molar

25
Q

What nerve innervates parotid gland

A

CN 9 - hypoglossal nerve

26
Q

What type of gland is the parotid gland?

A

Serous (secretes saliva with enzymes)

27
Q

Where is the submandibular gland located?

A

Inferior to mandible and in btw diagastric muscles

28
Q

What emptiues the submandibular gland?

A

Warton’s duct

29
Q

Where does Warton’s duct open?

Lateral to the lingual frenulum (fold of mucus membrane that attaches tongue to the roof of the mouth)

30
Q

What innervates the submandibular gland?

A

Cranial nerve 7

31
Q

What type of gland is the submandibular gland?

A

Seromucous gland - secretes lubrating mucous AND enzyme containing saliva

32

37
Q

What divides the tongue into posterior 1/3 and anterior 2/3

A

sulcus terminalis

38
Q

What is the function of the epiglottis?

A

When relaxed - upright to allow air into larynx and lungs
When folded (during swallowing) - covers entrance of larynx so food does not enter windpipes

39
Q

What is the lingual tonsil?

A

lymphoid tissue located at the back of the tongue serving an immunological function

40
Q

where is the epiglottis located?

A

in the throat, behind tongue and in front of larynx

41
Q

Which of the papillae contain tastebuds?

A

foliate papillae and the fungiform papillae and the circumvallate papillaefoliate

42
Q

What is the function of the foliate papillae

A

to perceive taste

43
Q

Where are the foliate papillae located?

A

bilaterally along posterolateral margins of the tongue surface

44
Q

What is the function of the fungiform papillae?

A

taste perception

45
Q

Where are the fungiform papillae located?

A

dorsum of the tongue - more in the middle

46
Q

What are the filiform papillae?

A

rough patches that allow you to grip food and form bolluses - they have NO tastebuds

47
Q

Where are the filiform papillae located?

A

anterior dorsum of the tongue (think the tip)
