Oral Muscles Flashcards
Composition of frenum (3)
Do they have musculature? Who studied this?
Non-keratinized, unattached alveolar mucosa, myelinated nerve fiber bundles, and small vascular channels
35% of maxillary frenum have small striated muscle; Gartner 1991
What are the muscles of mastication?
What nerve innervates them?
Temporalis
Masseter
Medial pterygoid
Lateral pterygoid
All innervated by trigeminal nerve
What is in the retromylohyoid fossa?
Superior constrictor (posterolateral aspect)
Palatoglossus (posteromedial aspect)
Mylohyoid (medial aspect)
What is in the pterygomaxillary fissure / hamular notch?
- Origin of pterygomandibular raphe
2. Tendon of tensor veil palatini
Muscles of modiolus (7)
Buccinator Levator anguli oris Depressor angluli oris Risorius Orbicularis oris Zygomaticus major Zygomaticus minor
Innervation of tongue?
Motor: XII - Hypoglossal (solely motor function - all extrinsic and intrinsic muscles)
Mucosa anterior 2/3: V3 for sensation. Taste via facial
Mucosa posterior 1/3: IX - Glossopharyngeal for sensation/taste
Innervation of palate
Anterior 1/3 - Nasopalatine
Posterior 2/3 - Greater palatine
Describe the embryological origin of cleft palate
Palatine shelves (lateral palatine processes) fail to fuse with each other or with the primary palate (median palatine processes)
Describe the embryological origin of cleft lip
Median palatine processes fail to fuse with median nasal processes
Physiology of speaking (Martone)
- What are the three physiological valves?
- Mouth
- True vocal folds of the larynx
- Palatopharyngeal region (nasal, oral, and laryngeal pharynx)
Innervation of speech
V: Muscles of soft palate
VII: Muscles of face
IX: Pharnygeal muscles (glossopharyngeal)
X: Vagus (pharyngeal, larynx, soft palate)
XII: Hypoglossal (tongue)
Cranial nerve XII innervates all of the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue except one. Which one and which nerve does innervate it?
Palatoglossus, which is innervated by the vagus nerve (X)
What are the four extrinsic muscles of the tongue?
- Genioglossus (XII)
- Hyoglossus (XII)
- Styloglossus (XII)
- Palatoglossus (X)
What are the four intrinsic muscles of the tongue?
- Superior longitudinal muscle
- Inferior longitudinal muscle
- Vertical muscle
- Transverse muscle
The tongue receives blood supply from what artery?
Lingual artery, a branch of the external carotid
