Q

What arch heads done to the tongue

A

Palate glossal arch

17
Q

What is the more posterior arch

A

Palatioharyngeal arch

18
Q

What is the uvula

A

Dangle bit

Skeletal muscle of soft palate

19
Q

What does the levator veli palatini

A

Elevates palate

Starts lateral and goes medial

20
Q

What is the tensor veli palatini do

A

Tenses palate

Starts lateral and stays lateral tenses soft palate stretch palate rather than lift

21
Q

What is the palatoglosses

A

Muscle
Palate towar tongue
Try get palate and tongue closer together when it contracts

22
Q

What does the palatopjaryngeus do

A

Longitudinal muscle of pharynx

Try get palate and pharynx closer together

23
Q

What is the muscle that technically consists of two. Muscle at each side joining in the middle

A

Musculus uvulae

24
Q

What innervates the soft palate

A

Vagus and cranial accessory innervate all but tensor veli palatini which is supplied by V3

25
What is the palatine aponeurosis
Tensor veli palatini Attaches superiorly to sphenoid bone Tendon turns medially around pterygoid hamulus and enters soft palate The tendon flattens out in soft palate and joins with tendon of the opposite muscle to form palatine aponeurosis
26
How do clinical test the innervation is correct
If nerves function normally - uvula lift midline If unilateral uvula pulled away form functioning Side Ask out to say aaaahhhhh
27
What is the soft plates function as a trapdoor
Stops food entering nose during swallowing Directs air into nose or mouth Close off entrance into pro pharynx during gag reflex
28
What are the osteological features of the palate
``` Incisive canal Palatine foraminae - greater and lesser Median palatine suture Palatine process of maxilla Horizontal plates Pyramidal processes Lateral and medial pterygoid plates Maxillary tuberosity ```
