Salivary gland, Tongue, Mouth and Palate Flashcards
whats the mouth
the oral or buccal cavity
what does the mouth do
receives, masticates and swallows food
forms words in speech
is a passage for air in respiration
where is the pharynx is relation to the mouth
posterior
what epithelium lines the mouth and pharynx
stratified squamous epithelium
whats the oral orifice
opening of the oral cavity
what is the fauces
the opening between oral cavity and pharynx
what forms the oral cavity
cheeks, lips, hard and soft palates and tongue
oral cavity is divided into what
vestibule and oral cavity proper
what is the vestibule
what makes up the vestibule externally and internally
a space in the oral cavity
externally-cheeks and lips
internally-gums and teeth
the oral cavity proper is bound by what
hard and soft palates
tongue
floor of mouth
what do the cheeks form
lateral walls of oral cavity
what do the cheeks consist of
outer layers of skin
subcutaneous fat
facial muscles which manipulate food in oral cavity
inner stratified squamous epithelium
where do the cheeks terminate
anteriorly in superior and inferior lips surrounding the oral orifice
what muscle forms the lips
orbicularis oris
what is the labial frenulum and what does it do
its a midline fold of mucous membrane which attaches each lips from its inner surface to gum
whats the vermillion
the transition zone between outer skin and mucous membrane of oral cavity
what is the tongue
a mass of skeletal muscle projecting into oral cavity which is covered by a mucous membrane
what divides the tongue
sulcus terminalis into anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3
whats the V apex and where is it
its the remnant of the opening of the thyroglossal duct
it points posterior at foramen cecum
where do the anterior 2/3 of the tongue lie
in oral cavity
where does the posterior 1/3 of the tongue lie
in pharynx and is attached to hyoid
what lymphoid tissue makes up the tongue base
lingual tonsils
what are the functions of the tongue
mastication
swallowing
sensing food tastes using tastes buds
where on the tongue do you taste :
-sweetness
-saltiness
-sourness and bitterness
apex-tip
lateral margins
posterior part
what are the extrinsic muscles muscles of the tongue
genioglossus
hyoglossus
styloglossus
palatoglossus
what is the origin and insertion point of the genioglossus
what innervates the genioglossus
whats the action of the genioglossus
superior part of mental spine of mandible to insert in dorsum of tongue and body of hyoid bone
hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)
-it depresses the tongue
-its posterior part pulls the tongue anteriorly for protrusion
whats the origin and insertion point of the hyoglossus
what innervates the hyoglossus
whats the action of the hyoglossus
body and greater horn of hyoid bone to insert on side and inferior aspect of tongue
hypoglossal nerve
depresses and retracts the tongue
whats the origin and insertion point of the styloglossus
what innervates the styloglossus
whats the action of the styloglossus
styloid process and stylohyoid ligament to insert on side and inferior aspect of tongue
hypoglossal nerve
retracts the tongue and draws it up to create a trough for swallowing
whats the origin and insertion of the palatoglossus
what innervates the palatoglossus
whats the action of the palatoglossus
palatine aponeurosis of soft palate to insert on side of tongue
cranial root of CN XI via the pharyngeal branch of CN X and pharyngeal plexus
it elevates the posterior part of the tongue
what are the intrinsic muscles of the tongue
superior longitudinal
inferior longitudinal
transverse
vertical
what innervates the intrinsic muscles of the tongue
hypoglossal nerve
whats the arterial supply of the tongue
dorsal lingual artery
deep lingual artery
sublingual artery
whats the venous drainage of the tongue
dorsal lingual vein
deep lingual vein
sublingual vein
whats the innervation of the tongue
glossopharyngeal nerve
hypoglossal nerve
internal laryngeal nerve
mandibular division of trigeminal nerve
vagus nerve and its branches
what causes paralysis of the CN XII
fracture of the occipital condyle
tumour near the hypoglossal canal
what happens to the tongue when there is paralysis of the CN XII
atrophy and the tongue will deviate towards the side of the peripheral lesion
what are lymphatics of the tongue
deep cervical lymph nodes
submandibular lymph nodes
submental lymph nodes
what are tongue papillae and what do they do and what do they contain
they are numerous small elevations on dorsal surface of tongue
they help in handling food
contain taste buds
what are the types of papillae on the tongue
-filiform
-fungiform
-vallate (circumvallate)
-foliate
what are the smallest and most numerous papillae
filiform papillae
