SAQ 5 Flashcards
Oral Cavity
Boundaries– Roof: Palate Floor: Tongue Lateral walls: Cheeks Anterior wall: Lips
Frenulum of upper/lower lip
a median fold of mucous membrane connecting the internal surface of upper lip to outer surface of upper gingiva. and same with lower lip
Frenulum linguae (of tongue)
a median fold of mucous membrane
connecting the inferior surface of the tongue to the floor of the mouth
Sublingual fold
a fold of mucous membrane over the sublingual salivary gland
Sublingual Papilla (caruncle)
a papillae on each side frenulum of tongue for
submandibular duct.
Duct of parotid gland
Opposite upper second molar
tooth
Sensory Supply to Lips & Cheeks
Derived from the maxillary
(V1) and mandibular (V2)
divisions of the trigeminal
nerve (C.N. V)
Cheeks–
Infraorbital n. (V2)
Zygomaticofacial n. (V2)
Buccal n. (V3)
Lips–
Infraorbital n. (V2) for upper lip
Mental n. (V3)–for lower lip

Deciduous teeth (milk or baby teeth)
- Incisors………………… (4/4)
- Canines………………… (2/2)
- Molars………………….. (4/4)
vasculature and innervation of teeth
Vasculature– Superior and inferior alveolar arteries –branches of the maxillary artery –Lymphatic vessels–mainly drain to the submandibular lymph nodes •Innervation –Superior alveolar nerves–from V2 –Inferior alveolar nerves–from V3
Hard Palate
anterior 2/3 of the palate is formed by the palatine processes of the maxillary bone and
the horizontal plates of the palatine bone
*Incisive fossa-the nasopalatine nerves pass through these canals
*Greater palatine foramen- medial to 3rd molar.greater palatine nerves and vessels
Soft Palate
has no bony skeleton but has an anterior aponeurotic part and has a posterior muscular part
* curved free margin from which hangs the
uvula
*Laterally, the soft palate is continuous with the wall of the pharynx and is joined to the tongue and pharynx by the palatoglossal
and palatopharyngeal arches
Fauces
the space between the oral cavity and the pharynx. Its boundaries are: –Superior: soft palate –Inferior: root of the tongue –Lateral: faucial pillars (arches)
Tensor veli palatini
O- Scaphoid fossa of medial pterygoid
plate, spine off sphenoid bone, & pharyngotympanic tube cartilage
I-Palatine aponeurosis
A-Tenses soft palate & opens auditory tube during swallowing & yawning
N-Medial pterygoid nerve (branch of V3) via otic ganglion
Levator veli palatini
O-Pharyngotympanic tube cartilage & petrous portion of temporal bone
I-Palatine aponeurosis
A-Elevates soft palate during swallowing & yawning
N-Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve via
pharyngeal plexus
Palatoglossus
O- Palatine aponeuroses I-Side of tongue A- Elevates posterior tongue & draws soft palate onto tongue N-Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve via pharyngeal plexus
Palatopharyngeus
O-Hard palate & palatine aponeurosis I- Lateral wall of pharynx A- Tenses soft palate & pulls walls of pharynx superiorly, anteriorly, & medially during swallowing N-Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve via pharyngeal plexus
Musculus uvulae
O-Posterior nasal spine & palatine aponeurosis I-Mucosa of uvula A-Shortens uvula & pulls it superiorly N-Pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve via pharyngeal plexus
Neurovascular Supply of Soft Palate
Arterial Supply–
Greater palatine– branch of the descending palatine artery
–Lesser palatine– smaller branch of descending palatine; anastomoses with the ascending palatine branch of the facial artery
•Venous Drainage– palatine veins drain into the pterygoid venous plexus
Innervation of soft palate
Innervation–
Sensory
•Greater palatine–supplies gingivae, mucous membranes, & glands of most of the hard palate
•Lesser palatine–supply the soft palate
•Nasopalatine- supplies the mucous membrane of the anterior part of the hard palate
Tongue
The tongue is a mobile muscular organ that can assume a variety of shapes and positions. It is partly in the oral cavity and partly in the oropharynx. •Functions: –Swallowing –Articulation –Mastication
