Prelims Flashcards
What are the boundaries of Oral cavity
Superior, inferior, antero-lateral and posteriorly
What are in the superior boundaries
Hard and soft palate
What are in inferior boundaries
Tongue and floor of the mouth
What are in antero-lateral boundaries
Upper and lower teeth
What are in posteriorly boundaries
Palatoglossal and palatopharyngeal folds
Attached the lips to the attached gingiva of the anterior teeth
Labial frenum
Attaches the cheek to the attached gingiva of the posterior teeth
Buccal frenum
Location to inject anesthesia
Muccobuccal fold
Gingiva and alveolar mucosa meet
Muccogingival junction
Divisions of the palate
Hard and soft palate
Consist of oalatine process and horizontal plate of bone
Hard palate
No bone beneath the surface
Soft palate
It is formed by the mylohyoid muscle
Floor of the mouth
It is a valley shaped space between the tongue and teeth
Sublingual sulcus
Also called sublingualis
Sublingual folds
Strip of tissue which connects the undersurface of the tongue with the floor of the mouth
Lingual frenum
Slight fold of mucous membrane on each side of the tongue lateral to the lingual frenum
Plica fimbriata
Pair of the papillae at the center between the right and left sublingual folds
Sublingual caruncle
What are the para oral tissues
Cheek, palate, lips, tongue, teeth, tonsils, sublingual sulcus and salivary gland
The act of swallowing
Deglutition
3 phases of deglutition
Buccal phase, pharyngeal phase, and esophageal phase
Physical digestion of food involves mastication and lubrication
Digestion
Dorsum of the tongue possess lingual papillae on various forms
Taste
What functions where lips, teeth, tongue and hard and soft palage poay a role in pronunciation of consonants
Speech
What function where Tonsillar ring includes the phagocytic activity of macrophages against harmful bacteria and foreign bodies
Protection
Engulfing or taking in of foods
Ingestion
Oral cavity is an adjunct to the respiratory system
Respiration
Process of biting, cutting, crushing and grinding of foods
Mastication
Small rounded nodule of tissue in the center of the lowest part of the upper lip
Labial tubercle
Depression running from the tubercle to the nostrils
Philtrum
Groove running diagonally downward of the nostrils toward the corner of lip
Nasolabial groove
Corner of the mouth
Labial commisure
White line running posteriorly on each side at the level where the upper and lower teeth come together
Linea alba buccalis
Round elevation of tissue between 1st and 2nd upper molars
Parotid papilla
Seperates the buccinator muscles from the ramus of the mandible and messeter muscles
Buccal pad of fat
Yellow spots seen on the buccal mucosa
Fordyce spots
Rest in the floor of the mouth within the curvature of the body of the mandible
Tongue
No taste buds
Most numerous papilla
2/3 of dorsum of the tongue
Filiform papillae
Mushroom shaped
Loosely scattered
Appears red
Fungiform papilla
What taste perceives by fungiform laterally and in tip
Laterally saltiness and tip is sweetness
A leaf shaped
Posterior 1/3 of tongue
Foliate papilla
What taste perceives the foliate papilla
Sour taste
Largest papillae
8-10 at the anterior edge of sulcus terminalis
Circumvallate papilla
Tast that perceives circumvallate
Bitter taste
What are the 2 groups of salivary gland
Major salivary glands
Minor salivary glands

Stensens duct
Lies in submandibular fossa, secretion thru whartons duct
Submandibular gland
Smallest among the major salivary glands
Sublingual gland
Largest duct of the sublingual gland
Bartholins duct
Salivary glands situated between the mucous mebrane and orbicularis oris
Labial gland
Continuation of labial gland on posterior part of cheek what gland?
Small buccal gland
They are pure mucous gland
Palatine gland
Also called apical gland
Anterior lingual glands
Usually 10-24 in each taste bud
Rich in heterochromatin
Type l taste cells or dark cells
Supporting cells
Lights cells
Low in heterochromatin
Type ll or sustentacular cells
Least numerous
Surrounded by type cells
Also appear dark
Type lll or intermediate cells
Perpendicular to the basal lamina
Believed to be the stem cells what type of taste bud?
Type IV or basal cells
Surrounds the neck of the teeth and covers the alveolar process of jaws
Gingiva
Connective tissue that surrounds the root of the tooth
Periodontal ligament
Part of the mandible and maxilla which forms the sockets
