What does the hard palate separate? What is it formed by? Describe the mucosa and epithelium.

The nasal cavity from the oral cavity.
Anteriorly - maxillary bones
Posteriorly - palatine bones
Covered superiorly by respiratory mucosa - pseudo stratified squamous epithelium.
Covered inferiorly by oral mucosa (stratified squamous keratinised epithelium)

What muscles for the soft palate?

LEvator veli palatine
Tensor veli palatine
Palatopharyngeus
Palatoglossus
Uvulae

Perfectly

How does the soft palate function?

Can lower to close the oropharyngeal isthmus

Can elevate to separate the nasopharynx from the oropharynx.

Perfectly

Why might the uvula be deviated?

CNX lesion as palatal muscles are innervated by vagus

Peritonsillar abscess pushes it aside

What forms the floor of the oral cavity proper?

Muscular diaphragm (mylohyoid)
Geniohyoid
Tongue
Salivary glands/ducts

What forms the anterior boundary of the oral cavity proper?

Gingiva and teeth

Perfectly

What forms the posterior boundary of the oral cavity proper?

Imaginary line between left and right palatoglossal arches.

Bleds with the oropharynx at the faucial isthmus formed by the folds binding the palatine tonsil.

What forms the cheeks? Motor innervation? Function?

Study These Flashcards

Buccinator muscle lined by buccal mucosa
Innervated (motor) by buccal branch of CNVII
Contract to keep food between teeth when chewing.

What is the sensory innervation of the oral cavity?

Study These Flashcards

CNV - Trigeminal branches

What innervates the hard and soft palates?

Study These Flashcards

Greater palliating and Nasopalatine nerves
from CNV2 (Maxillary)

What innervates the floor of the oral cavity?

Study These Flashcards

Lingual nerve

CNV3

What innervates the cheeks?

Study These Flashcards

Buccal branch of CNV3 (Mandibular)

What are the 3 main parts of the tongue?

Study These Flashcards

Apex body root

Where do the intrinsic muscles of the tongue attach?

Study These Flashcards

Lingual septum (creates the midline groove)

What are the intrinsic muscles and what are their functions?

Superior longitudinal - elevation retraction and deviation of tip. Inferior longitudinal - Retraction (short and thick) Vertical - Flatten and broaden Transverse - Narrow and elongated

What innervates the intrinsic muscles of the tongue? What happens in lesion?

``` Hypoglossal nerve (CNXII) In lesion, tongue points towards affected side due to reduced muscle tone. ```

What are the extrinsic muscles of the tongue? Function? Innervation?

Genioglossus - Protrusion, depression - CNXII Hyoglossus - Depression, retraction - CNXII Styloglossus - Elevation, retraction - CNXII Palatoglossus - Elevation of posterior tongue, depression of soft palate - CNX

What attaches the tongue to the floor of the oral cavity:?

Lingual frenulum

What is the innervation of the tongue?

Anterior 2/3 General - lingual branch of CNV3 Anterior 2/3 Sensory - Chorda tympani of CNVII Posterior 1/3 G&S - Glossopharyngeal CNIX

What is the arterial supply and venous drainage of the tongue?

ECA --> Lingual A Facial A --> Tonsillar A Longual vein

What is the secretion and nervous supply of the parotid gland?

Serous Sensory - CNV3 - Auriculotemporal branch Parasympathetic - CNIX --> Otic ganglion --> CNV3 --> Sympathetic - superior cervical ganglion --> ECA -->

What is the secretion and supply of the submandibular gland? Where does its duct open?

Mixed secretion Parasympathetic - superior salivatory nucleus --> Chorda tympani --> Lingual CNV3 --> Submandibular ganglion Sympathetic - superior cervical ganglion --> ICA/ECA --> Facial A -- > Submental A Submandibular gland papillae on either side of lingual frenulum

What is the secretion and supply of the sublingual gland?

Mucous secretion Parasympathetic - superior salivatory nucleus --> Chorda tympani --> Lingual CNV3 --> Submandibular ganglion Sympathetic - superior cervical ganglion --> ICA/ECA --> Facial A -- > Submental A

What is the function of the lymphatic system?

Drain tissue fluid, plasma proteins and other cellular debris back into the blood stream Involved in immune defines.

What tonsils make up Weldeyer's ring? Where are they located?

Adenoid Roos of nasopharynx behind uvula Tubals Located where Eustachian tube opens into nasopharynx Palatines Each side between palatoglossal and gloss pharyngeal arches Lingual Posterior base of tongue

What is the function of Waldeyer's ring?

Responds to pathogens that are ingested or inhaled.

How does tonsillitis present?

Red and enlarge tonsils | Accompanied by enlarged jugulo-digastric lymph nodes

What is the danger in tonsillectomy?

Bleeding from external palatine vein and tonsilar branch of facial A

What is quincy

Peritonsillar abscess causing deviation of the uvula

How is peritonsillar abscess treated?

Draining and antibiotics

Where do teeth anchor?

Alveolar processes of maxilla or mandible.

What is the internal surface and external surface of teeth called?

Upper arcade: palatal and buccal/labial | Lower arcade: Lingual and buccal or labial

What are the gingival?

Dense fibrous CT, firmly attached to the underlying alveolar bone Covered by smooth and vascular mucous membrane, which start as linings of the lips and cheek. These continue over the gingival and reflect into the alveolar sockets.
