Q
  1. True oral cavity
A

Situated on inside of the dental arches
* Roof- hard palate
* Gums, rugae, raphe
* tongue
* salivary gland openings (mandibular and sublingual)
* Lingual frenulum – sup. Aspect of the tongue to the floor of the mouth and on either side of it we get the openings to the sublingual salivary gland ducts (on sublingual fold)
* sublingual caruncle – where mandibular salivary glands open
* Deep lingual vein
– Osteology: Foramina, incisivum, palatina

Q

Tongue:

A
  • consists of a root and a body
  • Ant and post part of the tongue develop from 2 separate pharyngeal arches (origins), therefore have different nerve supply

Q

Anterior part of the tongue:

A
  • loose, oral part
  • 2/3rds of the tongue
    = body of tongue
  • sulcus terminalis – separates ant and post part, V shaped
  • foramen caecum - where V shaped groove/point of sulcus terminalis ends, it is an embryological remnant
    Foramen caecum and sulcus terminalis = separation of ant and post part of tongue
  • median sulcus – middle of tongue

Q

Posterior part of the tongue:

A
  • root of tongue
  • posterior 1/3rd
  • lingual tonsils- embedded in lingual tissue = uneven surface
  • palatine tonsils – can be removed
  • Situated between two folds (mucosal folds, which are muscles which are covered with mucosa)
    The glossopharyngeal fold – pharynx to tongue
    Palatopharyngeal fold – soft palate to pharynx

Q

Parotid gland

A
  • (serous= has a watery secretion)

- opens on sublingual caruncle or papilla (duct in relation to n lingualis)

29
Q

Sublingual gland

A

(Mixed but mainly mucous)

30
Q

Minor glands

A

scattered in mouth all open on floor of mouth in proper oral cavity

31
Q

Submandibular gland has two parts:

A
52
Q

Motor supply by

A

CNVII (facial nerve)

53
Q

Sensory supply is by

A

5th cranial nerve – trigeminal nerve

56
Q
A
57
Q

muscles of mastication nerve supply

A

CN V

58
Q

masseter muscle:

A

Prox: zygomatic arch
Dist: the angle and lateral surface of the mandibular ramus
Action: elevation of the mandible and some protraction of the mandible.

59
Q

temporalis muscle

A

prox: temporal bone
Dist: coronoid process of mandible
Action: produce the movements of the mandible at the temporomandibular joint and thus facilitate the act of mastication.

60
Q

medial pterygoid muscle

A

consists of two heads; superficial and deep.
prox:
Superficial part: Tuberosity of maxilla, Pyramidal process of palatine bone; Deep part: Medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid bone
Dist: both heads insert on the inner surface of mandible
Action: elevate the mandible and laterally deviate it to the opposite side.

61
Q

Lateral pterygoid muscle

A

prox:
Superior head: Infratemporal crest of greater wing of sphenoid bone Inferior head: Lateral surface of lateral pterygoid plate of sphenoid bone
Dist:
Superior head: Joint capsule of temporomandibular joint
Inferior head: Pterygoid fovea on neck of condyloid process of mandible
Action: depresses the mandible and opens the mouth when assisted by the anterior belly of the digastric muscle and the mylohyoid muscle
