Trachea, Tounge Flashcards
mass of skeletal muscle covered by mucous membrane
Tounge
faces upwards towards the hard palate
Anterior 2/3 oral part KERATIZED
faces backwards towards the oropharynx
Posterior 1/3 pharyngeal part NON KERATINIZED
most anterior - merges into the inferior surface
Tip
Mucous membrane of the inferior surface
Thin and smooth
covered by mucous membrane into which underlying muscles are inserted. Has filliform, fungiform, vallate
Oral anterior 2/3
conical projections that give rise to velvety appearance of the tongue. located along the entire dorsum of the tongue, but they are not involved in taste sensation
Filliform papillae
small folds of mucosa located along the lateral surface of the tongue
Folliate papillae
visible as discrete pink pinheads
•more numerous towards the edge of the tongue
•each bears a few taste buds
Fungiform papillae
are about a dozen in number
•arranged in the form of a V with apex pointing backwards
•each is a cylindrical projection surrounded a circular sulcus and a raised outer wall
Vallate papillae
ill defined shallow groove which marks the junction of the oral and the pharyngeal part of the tongue
Sulcus terminalis
are far back on the oral surface - not in contact with the food being chewed; but the food juices and saliva reach them - so flavours are transmitted to them
Vallate papillae
the undersurface behind the tip there is a rather large mixed gland on the each side of midline
Anterior lingual gland
Retention cyst of anterior lingual gland
Ranula
anterior wall of the oropharynx extends from sulcus terminalis and epiglottis
Posterior 1/3 of the dorsum of the tongue
small depression at the apex of the sulcus - the remains of the upper end of the thyroglossal duct. No papillae behind this sulcus
Foramen cecum
has a nodular appearance - constitute the lingual tonsil, part of Waldeyer’s ring.
Smooth mucous membrane
Between tongue and epiglottis
Median glossoepiglottic fold
small midline septum of mucous membrane - unites it to the floor of the mouth
Lingual frenum
visible through the mucosa
Deep lingual vein
Not visible through the mucosa
Lingual artery and vein
Farther laterally is another fold of mucosa
Fimbriated fold
a series of parallel folds of mucous membrane on the sides of the posterior part of the tongue
Foliate papillae
ridge of mucous membrane raised up by palatoglossus muscles
Palatoglossal arches
Palatoglossal arches constitutes
Oropharyngeal isthmus
Palatoglossal arches is narrowed by contraction of
Palatoglossus muscle
Intrinsic ms not attached to the bone
Superior and inferior longitudinal ms
Transverse ms
Vertical ms
Extrinsic ms attached to the bone
Genioglossus
Hyoglossus
Styloglossus
Palatoglossus
lies beneath mucous membrane. Shortens the tongue, make its dorsum concave
Superior longitudinal ms
lying close to the inferior surface of the tongue. between genioglossus and hyoglossus. shortens the tongue, make its dorsum convex
Inferior longitudinal ms
from median septum to the margins. makes the tongue narrow and elongated
Transverse ms
found at the borders of the anterior part of the tongue. makes the tongue broad and flattened
Vertical ms
Superficial from the muscles from the above downwards
lingual nerve
submandibular duct
hypoglossal nerve with its accompanying veins
