what muscles are found in the walls of the oral cavity?
buccinator and supra-hyoid muscles (mylohoid, digastric, stylohyoid and geniohyoid)
what is the role of mylohyoid?
elevate hyoid and oral floor or depress mandible
what innervates mylohyoid?
mandibular dicision of trigeminal (CN V3)
what is the action of digastric?
elevate hyoid or depress mandible
what nerves innervate the anterior and posterior belly of digastric?
posterior: facial (CN VII)
anterior: mandibular division of trigeminal (CN V3)
what is the role of stylohyoid?
elevate hyoid bone
what is the innervation of stylohyoid?
facial (CN VII)

taste and general sensory: glossopharyngeal (CN IX)
what is the role and innervation of the intrinsic muscles of the tongue and where are their fibres found?
change shape of the tongue
fibres in different directions but all within tongue
