Q

Define The vestibule (labial cavity), mention its site

A
  • It is a narrow cleft like space
    -Lies between the lips & cheeks (extrnally) and

Q

What are the Boundaries of mouth cavity proper
Ant & sides/post

A

• Anteriorly & sides: are formed by the dental arches carrying the teeth
- It communicates with the vestibule behind the 3rd molar tooth,when you close your lips
•Posteriorly : communicate with the oropharynx through “oropharyngeal isthmus” (the junction between mouth & the pharynx)

  • Floor:
  • Dorsum (upper surface ) of anterior 2/3 of tongue
  • lower surface of tongue

Q

Define Ankyloglossia/Tongue tie

A
  • A case in which the Frenulum extends towards the tip of the tongue
  • It is a congenital oral anomaly present at birth that restricts the tongue’s range of motion and may interfere with normal speech

Q

What’s the procedure in case of Tounge Tie?

A

frenotomy or frenulectomy is quick procedure often is done without anesthesia in babies younger than 3 months old because the area has few nerve endings or blood
vessels

Q

Site of the tounge?

A

lies on the floor of the oral cavity filling it almost completely.
• Its anterior 2/3 lies in the mouth (oral part).
• Its posterior 1/3 lies in the pharynx (pharyngeal part).

17
Q

The tongue is essential for several Important Functions, Name them?

A
  1. Normal articulation of the jaw
  2. Manipulation of food
  3. Swallowing
  4. Taste
  5. Production of normal Speech
18
Q

What are the Parts of the Tongue?

A
  • Tips and sides
  • Root (posterior)
  • Dorsal surface (upper)
  • Ventral (Lower)
19
Q

Tips and sides of the tounge lies opposite to?

A

Gums and teeth

20
Q

What passes through The Root of the tounge

A

it is the post. part through which pass the muscles Connecting the tongue to the hyoid bone & mandible

21
Q

Dorsal sur of the tounge is divided by?

A

It is divided by a V- shaped groove (sulcus terminalis) into: - - ant. 2l3 (oral part)
- post.1/3 (pharyngeal part)

22
Q

The apex of the sulcus terminalis is directed? Presenting what?

A

directed posteriorly &presents a foramen called the foramen Caecum

23
Q

The Ventral surfaceof the tounge is related to?

A

It is related to the Floor of mouth & is Covered by a thin
transparent mucosa

24
Q

The Ventral surfaceof the tounge shows what?

A
  • A raised fold of mucosa in the middle line (Frenulum lingulae)
  • On each side of the middle line, a deep lingual vein passes deep to the mucosa
  • lateral to the deep lingual v. there is the fimbriated fold- which is a raised fold of mucosa having fimbria
25
Ant. 2/3 of the dorsum of the tongue papillae are?
1. Filliform papillae: small&numerous 2. Fungiform papillae: at the tip & margins 3. Foliate papillae :small lateral folds, poorly developed in humans 4. Circumvallate papillae:lying infront of the sulcus terminalis & full of taste bud
26
Post. 1/3 of the dorsum of the tongue papillae?
No papillae shown
27
are there any lingual tonsils on the Post. 1/3 of the dorsum of the tongue
Yes, Present
28
are there any lingual tonsils on the Ant. 2/3 of the dorsum of the tongue
No, absent
29
Nerve supply of the buccal part of the tongue
2 Nerves: 1. Lingual Nerve: carries general sensation 2. Chorda tympani: carries taste sensation
30
Nerve supply of the Pharyngeal part of the tongue
One nerve: Glossopharyngeal nerve: carries all sensations
31
Position of both palatine and pharyngeal part?
Palatine part: Looks upward & can be seen from the mouth pharyngeal part: Looks backwars (forming the anterior wall of the oropharynx)
32
Lingual papillae, particularly filiform papillae function?
Thry are thought to increase the surface area of the tongue and to increase the area of contact and friction between the tongue and food
