tongue, oesophagus, pharynx Flashcards
what are genial tubercles
bony growths that provide rigid attachment sites for muscles
What are the mylohyoid and geniohyoid
-muscles of floor of the mouth
-action that prevents us from chocking, by elevating the hyoid and pulls larynx out of way during chewing and swallowing
mylohoid origin
medial body of mandible
mylohoid insertion
hyoid bone
mylohoid innervation
CN3 - nerve to mylohoid
geniohyoid origin
anterior body of mandible
geniohyoid insertion
hyoid bone
geniohyoid innervation
nerve to geniohyoid- spinal nerve- C1-2
Extrinsic meaning
-muscles that start on outside of tongue and attach into the tongue
what are extrinsic muscles of the tongue
genioglossus, hypoglossus, styloglossus, palatoglossus
genioglossus shape
fan (left bulk of tongue)
genioglossus origin
mental spine of mandible and hyoid bone
genioglossus insertion
dorsal of tongue
all extrinsic muscle innervation
cranial nerve 12 (hypoglossal)
except palatoglossus - cranial nerve 10/vagus nerve
hypoglossus shape
thin quadrilateral (right side)
hypoglossus origin
hyoid bone
hypoglossus insertion
inferior aspect of lateral tongue
styloglossus shape
short triangle-hang above
styloglossus origin
styloid process
styloglossus insertion
side of posterior tongue, merges with hypoglossus
palatoglossus shape
narrow crescent - highest
palatoglossus origin
