two parts of the oral cavity
oral vestibule
oral cavity proper
slit-like space between the cheeks and teeth
oral vestibule
oral vestibule contains:
-labial frenulae
-pterygomandibular raphe
-parotid papilla
folds of the mucus membrane between the gingiva and the mucosa of the upper and lower lips
labial frenulae
represents a junction area between the buccinator and superior constrictor muscles
pterygomandibular raphe
opening of the parotid duct inside the oral vestibule, located opposite the second maxillary molar
parotid papilla
boundaries of the oral cavity proper
lateral - upper and lower dental arches
posterior - opening in the back of the oral cavity
roof - hard and soft palates
floor - floor of the mouth
connecting area between the oral cavity and pharynx
oropharyngeal isthmus
lymphoid tissue, bounded by the palatopharyngeal arch and palatoglossal arch
palatine tonsils
hard palate is formed by
-palatine process of the maxilla and the horizontal plates of the palatine bone
what goes through the incisive foramen
nasopalatine nerve and sphenoalatine a
purpose of greater palatine foramen
passage of greater palatine vessels and nerve to supply the mucosa of the hard palate
purpose of the lesser palatine foramen
passage of the lesser palatine vessels and nerve to supply structures of the soft palate
small glands located in the mucosa of the hard palate
palatine glands
transverse folds of the mucus membrane covering the hard palate
palatine rugae
levator veli palatini: origin, insertion, action and nerve supply
-from auditory tube to the palatine aponeurosis
-raises soft palate during swallowing
-pharyngeal plexus (CN IX, X, XI)
tensor veli palatini: orig, insertion, action, nerve supply
-from auditory tube to palatine aponeurosis
-tenses soft palate
-tendon hooks around the pterygoid hamulus
-mandibular divison of CN V
palatoglossus: origin, insertion, action, nerve supply
-from palatine aponeurosis of soft palate to side of tongue
-forms palatoglossal arch
-pharyngeal plexus (CN IX, X, XI)
palatopharyngeus: origin, insertion, action, nerve supply
-from the palatine aponeurosis of soft palate to upper part of the wall of the pharynx
-forms the palatopharyngeus arch
-pharyngeal plexus (CN IX, X, XI)
5 muscles of the soft palate
-levator veli palatini
-tensor veli palatini
-palatoglossus
-palatopharyngeus
-muscular uvulae
fold of the mucus membrane that extends fromt he gingiva to the inferior aspect of the tongue
lingual frenulum
located at the base of the lingual frenulum, nipple like structures representing the opening of the ducts of submandibular gland
sublingual papilla
one duct from each gland, opens at the sublingual papillae in the floor of the mouth
submandibular ducts
raised area on each side of the lingual frenulum formed by the sublingual gland covered by mucus membrane
sublingual fold
-smallest and most deeply located of the three salivary glands
-lie in the floor of the oral cavity between the mandible and the genioglossal muscle
-each gland has numerous ducts that open in the floor of the mouth
sublingual gland
location and function of the tongue
-partly in the oral cavity proper and part in the oropharynx
-assists in mastication, speech, swallowing, taste and cleaning the oral cavity
posterior 1/3 of the tongue
root of the tongue
anterior 2/3 of the tongue
-freely movable
-anterior pointed part is the apex
body of the tongue
inverted v-shaped groove on the dorsum of the tongue
-marks separation b/n anterior and posterior
sulcus terminalis
separates the two halves of the tongue, indicates the site of fusion of the two embryonic lingual buds
median groove (sulcus) and septum
-small hair-like structures
-cover the entire surface of the tongue
-contain afferent nerve endings sensitive to touch
filiform papillae
-small mushroom like structures
-scattered among the filiform papillae
fungiform papillae
-largest papillae
-anterior to sulcus terminale
-surrounded by a trench-like structure that contains numerous taste buds
vallate (circumvallate) papillae
small fold of mucosa along the lateral side of the tongue
foliate papillae
lymphoid tissue located on the posterior 1/3 of the tongue
lingual tonsil
muscles of the tongue that run longitudinally, vertically and transversely, do not have a bony attachment
intrinsic muscles
action and innervation of the intrinsic muscles of the tongue
-change the shape of the tongue
-innervated by CN XII
genioglossus innervation and action
-CN XII
-unilateral contraction pushes tongue to contralateral side
-two muscles working together will protrude the tongue
paralysis of genioglossus will cause:
-tongue to shift posteriorly, could lead to suffocaation
-can happen during general anesthesia
hyoglossus innervation and action
CN XII
depresses the tongue
styloglossus innervation and action
CN XII
retrudes tongue
palatoglossus innervation and action
pharyngeal plexus
elevates posterior part of the tongue
motor innervation of the tongue
CN XII and pharyngeal plexus
sensory innervation of the tongue
anterior 2/3
-lingual - general sensation
-chorda tympani - sensory of taste buds
posterior 1/3
-CN IX - general sensation and taste incl. vallate papillae
-CN X - area around epiglottis
blood supply to the tongue
lingual a- branch of external carotid a
-veins terminate in the internal jugular v
