oral cavity II Flashcards
oral cavity boundaries
1) superior
- hard and soft palate
2) inferior
- mylohyoid muscle
3) posterior
- oropharyngeal isthmus
4) anterior
- opening of the mouth
5) lateral
- buccal cavity
buccal cavity
1) medial
- maxilla
- mandible
2) lateral
- buccinator
- cheeks
pterygomandibular raphe
1) constrictor and buccinator join it together
mandible
1) mandibular notch
2) coronoid process
3) mylohyoid groove
4) mylohyoid line
5) superior and inferior mental spine
basal bone
1) major parts of osseous tissue of mandible and maxillae except the alveolar processes
2) larger than alveolar bone
3) height increases with age
4) structure of dental skeletal
5) basal bone begins to develop in the fetus
alveolar bone
1) alveolar bone is the bone that lines alveolus
2) thin plate of bone
3) alveolar bone can be resorbed with age
4) alveolar bone supports the tooth
mylohyoid origin
1) mylohyoid line on medial aspect of the mandible
mylohyoid insertion
1) posterior fibers are inserted into the body of the hyoid bone
2) anterior fibers are inserted into the fibrous raphe
mylohyoid innervation
1) mylohyoid nerve from inferior alveolar nerve
genioglossus innervation
1) CN XII
2) attaches to superior mental spine
geniohyoid innervation
1) cervical spinal nerve 1
digastric muscle
1) posterior belly
- CN VII
2) anterior belly
salivary glands
1) parotid
2) submandibular
3) sublingual
acinar cell structure
1) serous acinar cell
- enzymes and low molecular weight
2) mucous acinar cell
- high molecular weight glycoprotein (mucins)
parotid glands
1) branches of VII
2) transverse facial artery
3) purely serous
4) opening into oral cavity into maxillary 2nd molar
- passes over buccinator
parotid gland innervation
1) lesser petrosal => otic ganglion => post ganglionic parasympathetics travel with auriculotemporal nerve
- inferior salivatory nucleus
2) CN IX carries taste from posterior 1/3 of tongue
submandibular glands
1) wraps around mylohyoid muscle
2) opening into the sublingual papilla
- on sides of lingual frenum
3) mostly serous (mixed)
