Submandibular region Flashcards
oral cavity proper
area between teeth (palate to tongue, continuous with oropharynx)
vestibule
area between cheek and teeth
lips inn.
upper lip: V2 (infraorbital n.)
lower lip: V3 (mental and buccal nn.)
lips lymphatic drainage
upper lip: ipsilaterally to submandibular nodes
central lower lip: ipsilaterally to submental nodes
lateral lower lip: bilaterally to submandibular nodes
inn. to upper teeth
superior alveolar divisions (V2)
inn. to lower teeth
inferior alveolar divisions (V3)
tongue components
- body (anterior 2/3), mobile
- root (posterior 1/3), fixed
- epiglottic region
body and root of tongue separated by
terminal sulcus
filiform papillae
small conical projections, no taste buds
fungiform papillae
medium, dome-shaped
circumvallate papillae
large, round, bulk of taste receptors
intrinsic muscles of tongue
- superior longitudinal m.
- vertical and transverse mm.
- inferior longitudinal m.
Inn. CN XII (GSE), change shape of tongue
extrinsic muscle of tongue

Move tongue
genioglossus
protrudes tongue, pushes tongue to opposite side acting unilaterally. CN XII (GSE)
hyoglossus
retracts, depresses tongue. CN XII (GSE)
styloglossus
retracts, elevates tongue. CN XII (GSE)
