Wednesday, 4-6-Oral Cavity (Stephens) Flashcards
Initially, the lips drain directly into the submental and submandibular (pericervical) LN’s, then into the ___ LNs
Deep cervical
The skin of the cheek is __ epithelium and innervated by the __ nerve
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Buccinator n. (V)
The __ is compartmentalized and encapsulated and provides leverage for sucking in infants
Buccal fat pad
Immediately deep to the buccal fat pad is the buccinator muscle which is innervated by the __ nerve. The __ duct pierces the buccinator muscle
Facial
Parotid
The mucosa of the cheek is __ epithelium and innervated by the ___ nerve
Non-keratinized stratified squamous
Buccinator (long buccal)
__ are formed by mucosa which is firmly attached to the underlying alveolar portion of the maxilla and mandible by dense fibrous CT
Gingivae (gums)
Regarding the relationships of the sublingual region:
The __ nerve spirals around the submandibular duct (Wharton’s duct) from superior-lateral to inferior-medial. Therefore, in the dissection of the floor of the mouth the duct will be ABOVE the nerve, and sublingual gland will be lateral. The __ nerve enters this region considerably more posterior and deeper, and is closely adherent to the hyoglossus muscle
Lingual
Hypoglossal
__ is the smallest of the salivary glands. It is flattened between the mandible and genioglossus/geniohyoid muscles in the floor of the mouth, and rests upon the superior surface of the mylohyoid
Sublingual gland
The blood supply of the sublingual gland is by way of the __
List the nucleus that sends preganglionic parasympathetic fibers to the sublingual gland, as well as the ganglion where the preganglionic fibers synapse and the CN that the preganglionic fibers travel
Sublingual branch of the lingual a.
Nucleus=superior salivatory nucleus
Ganglion=submandibular ganglion
Travels on Facial n.
Regarding sympathetic innervation to the sublingual gland:
Postganglionic sympathetic fibers originate in the __ ganglion, and reach the gland by coursing the in ___ plexuses in the adventitia of the respective arteries
Superior cervical
External carotid and facial
The epithelium on the anterior 2/3 of the tongue is innervated by __ nerve (GSA fibers for pain, temp, and touch) and the __ nerve (SVA taste fibers)
- Trigeminal
- Facial
The epithelium on the posterior 1/3 of the tongue is innervated by the __ nerve, which supplies both GVA and SVA fibers.
The intrinsic muscles of the tongue are derived from head myotomes, and are innervated by GSE fibers from the ___ nerve
Glossopharyngeal
Hypoglossal
The ___ is a V-shaped furrow which extends from the foramen cecum (at the midline apex) to the palatoglossal folds (laterally). Circumvallate papillae are distributed along its length, and contain taste buds which are innervated by VII and IX
Sulcus terminalis
The __ of the tongue is the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. Its epithelium is derived from ectoderm.
The __ of the tongue is the posterior 1/3 of the tongue. Its epithelium is derived from endoderm
- oral portion
- pharyngeal portion
All of the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue, except the palatoglossus, are innervated by the __ nerve
Hypoglossal
The palatoglossus m. Is innervated by ___
Vagus via the pharyngeal plexus
Unilateral hypoglossal palsy results in paralysis, atrophy, and fasiculations of the intrinsic muscles of the tongue. When protruded, the normal genioglossus deviates the tongue toward the ___ side
Bilateral paralysis may cause: ___
affected
Airway obstruction (dyspnea), dysarthria, and dysphagia
The tongue gets its blood supply from the __ artery and its terminal branch, the ___ artery
Lymphatics of the tongue drain primarily into __ LNs
Lingual
Profunda lingual
Deep cervical
The ___ comprises the anterior 2/3 of the palates and is formed by the palatine processes of the maxillae and the horizonatal plates of the palatine bones.
The ___ is a movable fibromuscular partition which forms the posterior 1/3 of the palate. During deglutition, it closes the pharyngeal isthmus and prevents reflux of material into the nasopharynx
Hard palate
Soft palate
__ is the intrinsic muscle of the soft palate and forms part of the midline uvula. It is innervated by the X via the pharyngeal plexus
___ is located anterolateral to the levator palati muscle and the auditory tube. It is innervated by a small branch of the mandibular n. (V) and tenses the soft palate and opens the auditory tube
Musculari uvulae muscle
Tensor veli palatinin muscle
__ muscle is innervated by the vaus via the pharyngeal plexus and elevates the soft palate
Levator veli palatini
What happens when there is paralysis of the tensor or levator palate?
It allows the muscles on the non-paralyzed side to pull or deviate the uvula towards the normal side
