Q

whats the function of the conchae?

A

increase SA of nasal cavity so air can come into more contact with cavity walls which disrupts the fast flow making it slow and tubrulant, allowing air longer to be humidified

Q

what carries out special sensory innervation of the nose?

A

olfactory nerves

24
Q

what supplies general sensory innervation to the septum and lateral walls of the nerve?

A

nasociliary and nasopalatine branches

25
Q

what supplies innervation to the external skin of the nose?

A

trigeminal nerve

26
Q

where do the frontal, maxillary and anterior ethmoid air cells enter into the nose?

A

in the hiatus semilunaris

27
Q

What are the two regions of the oral cavity?

A

oral vestibule and oral cavity proper

28
Q

what forms the roof of the mouth?

A

the hard and soft palate

29
Q

whats the epithelium of the hard palate?

A

superiorly respiratory mucosa and inferiorly by ora mucosa

30
Q

whats the function of the soft palate?

A

it acts as a valve that can lowe r to close the ororpharyngeal isthmus and elevate to separate the nasopharynx from the oropharynx

31
Q

which muscle forms the cheeks?

A

the buccinator muscle

32
Q

what innervates the cheeks?

A

buccal nerve (branch of mandibular division of trigeminal nerve)

33
Q

what forms the floor of the oral cavity?

A

bilateral mylohyloid muscles and the geniohyoid muscle

34
Q

what provides sensory innervation of the oral cavity?

A

branches of the trigeminal nerve

35
Q

what innervates the hard palate?

A

greater palatine and nasopalatine nerve

36
Q

what innervates the soft palate?

A

lesser palatine nerve

37
Q

what provides sensory innervation of the floor of the oral cavity?

A

lingual nerve

38
Q

what provides innervation to the tongue for special sensory fibres for taste?

A

chorda tympani (branch of facial nerve)

39
Q

what innervates the buccal muscle?

A

buccal branches of the facial nerve

40
Q

what are the intrinsic muscles of the tongue?

A

muscles that lie entirely in the tongue
superior longitudinal
inferior longitudinal
transverse and vertical muscles

41
Q

whats the function of intrinsic tongue muscles?

A

affect shape and size of tongue

have a role in facilitating speech, eating and swallowing

42
Q

what are the 4 extrinsic muscles of the tongue?

A

genioglossus
hyoglossus
styloglossus
palatoglossus

43
Q

what are extrinsic tongue muscles?

A

muscles that attach the tongue to other structures

44
Q

whats the function of extrinsic muscles of the tongue?

A

repositioning of the tongue

45
Q

where does the genioglossus muscle attach ad insert?

A

arises from mandibular symphysis and inserts into the body of the hyoid bone and entire length of tongue

46
Q

whats the function of the genioglossus muscle of the tongue?

A

protrude the tongue, depress the tongue and draw the tip back and down

47
Q

where does the hyoglossus muscle attach and insert?

A

it arises from the hyoid bone and inserts into the side of the tongue

48
Q

whats the function of the hyoglossus muscle

A

depression and retraction of the tongue

49
Q

where does the styloglossus muscle attach and insert?

A

originates at the styloid process of the temporal bone and inserts into the side of the tongue

50
Q

whats the function of the styloglossus muscle?

A

retraction and elevation of the tongue

51
Q

where does the palatoglossus muscle attach and insert?

A

arises from the palatine aponeurosis and inserts broadly across the tongue

52
Q

whats the function of the palatoglossus muscle?

A

it elevates the posterior aspect of the tongue

53
Q

what innervates the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue?

A

hypoglossal nerve

except palatoglossus muscle which has vagal innervation

54
Q

what supplies general sensation to the anterior 2/3rds of the tongue?

A

trigeminal nerve

lingual nerve

55
Q

what supplies taste in the anterior 2/3rds of the tongue?

A

facial nerve

56
Q

what supplies touch and taste sensation to the posterior 1/3rd of the tongue?

A

glossopharyngeal nerve

57
Q

what is the arterial blood supply to the tongue?

A

lingual arterty (branch of ECA) and some collateral circulation provided by tonsillar artery
