what three pairs of muscles are involved in the closing of the jaw
masseter
temporalis
medial pterygoid
where does the masseter muscle attach and what does it do
close the jaw
angle of the mandible and the zygomatic arch
where does the temporalis muscle attach and what does it do
close the jaw
coronoid process of the mandible to temporal fossa
what does the medial pterygoid muscle do and where does it attach
closes the jaw
the angle of the mandible ( medial) and to pterygoid plates of the sphenoid bone
which muscles open the jaw
lateral pterygoid
what do the lateral pterygoid muscles do and where do they attach
open the jaw
condyle aspect of the angle of the mandible and the pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone
what nerves supply the muscles that open and close the jaw
mandibular division of trigeminal nerve CN V3
where does the CNV3 attach in the brain (pons, medulla etc)
the pons
NB CN V trigeminal is the only cranial nerve to attach to the pons
where does CN V3 pass through in the skull
passes through the sphenoid bone in the foramen ovale
which tonsils are visible when the mouth is open
palatine tonsil
within the oral cavity the superior half of the oral cavity and palate is supplied by what
general sensation is CN V2
the gingivae of oral cavity and floor of the mouth inferiorly is supplied by what
CN V3
the sensory part of the gag reflex is supplies by which nerve fibres
CN IX-glossopharyngeal
the motor part of the gag reflex is supplied by which nerve fibres
CNIX-glossopharyngeal and CN X vagus
what is CN VII also known as
facial nerve
where does the facial nerve CN VII connect to the CNS
junction between the pons and medulla
how does the facial nerve leave the skull
through the temporal bone through the stylomastoid foramen
where does the glossopharyngeal nerve connect to the CNS
medulla
what is the course of the glossopharyngeal nerve
directly towards the jugular foramen in the posterior cranial fossa
what does CN IX leave the skull through and through which bone
junction between the temporal bone and the occipital bone through the jugular foramen
what re the names of the four extrinsic muscles of the tongue
genioglossus
hypoglossus
palatoglossus
styloglossus
where are the four pairs of intrinsic muscles on the tongue located
dorsally and posteriorly
what are the extrinsic muscles of the tongue supplied by
hypoglossus, genioglossus and styloglossus are upplied by CN XII hypoglossal but palatoglossus is supplied by CN X
where does the hypoglossal CNXII attach to the CNS
at the medulla
