Oral Cavity, Palates and Salivation Flashcards
describe nasal and oral cavities
nasal cavity freely communicated with oral cavity at back
nasopharynx (opening for auditory tube) –> oropharynx (bounded by soft palate and epiglottis) –> laryngopharynx
describe oral cavity - gen
open at anterior and posterior ends - both
lined with mucosa except tooth crowns
walls are mostly soft tissues
what makes up roof of oral cavity
hard and soft palates
roof of oral is floor of nasal
maxilla and palatine
what makes up lateral wall of oral cavity
buccinator (trumpeter - expels air from mouth when blow trumpet)
what makes up anterior wall of oral cavity
lips (beyond teeth)
especially orbicularis oris (puckers lips, O formation)
what makes up floor of oral cavity
hyoid muscles - mylohyoid and geniohyoid (deeper, closer to tongue)
what is the oropharyngeal isthmus
OI
posterior opening to oropharynx
Opening at back of mouth between soft palate (sup) and epiglottis (inf)
what are the front and sides (lateral and anterior wall) of oral cavity made out of
soft tissues and muscles of facial expression
name muscles of facial expression
buccinator and orbicularis oris
describe hyoid bone - attachments
point of attachment for muscles that contribute to floor of mouth, bone to bone
does not actually contribute to floor of mouth tho
what does thyroid cartilage create
thyroid cartilage - adams apple = laryngeal prominence
describe hyoid bone - suprahyoid muscles
suprahyoid muscles –> at level of cervical vertebrae (3, stretch between hyoid bone and mandible = muscles that contribute to floor of oral cavity)
describe hyoid bone - anatomically
lesser horns = point where muscles attach
greater horn = posteriorly
horshoe shapes - above adams apple
describe mylohyoid - gen
hyoid –> rim around mandible
describe mylohyoid - innervation
V3, nerve to mylohyoid (motor to muscles of mastication)
rim around mandible and stretches posteriorly to body of hyoid
describe geniohyoid - gen
hyoid to anterior base of mandible (chin)
cupped inside mylohyoid, chin to insertion on cheek
on inside
describe geniohyoid - innervation
c1
compare geniohyoid and mylohyoid - fibers
mylohyoid fibers = side to side
geniohyoid fibers = front to back (post to ant)
perpendicular
what do geniohyoid and mylohyoid do
elevate and bring forward the hyoid and tongue complex during swallowing (with mandible fixed)
can you see geniohyoid from anterior/inferior view
nuh uhnnnnnn
only see belly of digastric
describe tongue general structure
occupies most of oral cavity
body
root = anchored to hyoid bone and mandible
what is terminal suculus of tongue
groove
Towards posterior of tongue
what is diff about post 1/3 of tongue
different set of papillae (taste buds)
what is lingual septum
fibrous and symmetrical left and right divider
describe intrinsic muscles of tongue
organized into = longitudinal (length of tongue), transverse (side to side), vertical (superior to inf)
oriented along 3 cardinal axis
describe intrinsic muscles of tongue - function
fine motor control to move tongue in specifics way
contribute to body of tongue
change shape during speech, mastication, swallowing, part tricks
describe extrinsic muscles of tongue - gen
root of tongue
fine movements of tongue
move around oral cavity too
symmetric - on left and right
name extrinsic muscles of tongue - gen
hypoglossus
genioglossus
palatoglossus
styloglossus
describe extrinsic muscles of tongue - hypoglossus
hyoid –> tongue root
rhombus shaped
bilateral = depression (inf) and retraction (post) of tongue
unilateral = flips tongue (recruit one side)
if shorten = move towards hyoid bone
describe extrinsic muscles of tongue - genioglossus
mandible and hyoid –> tongue root (base - large portion of root of tongue)
tongue protrusion (stick out)
if shorten = protracts, moves towards chin anteriorly
