Muscles of the tongue, hyoid, mandible - pt text chapter 6 Flashcards
(124 cards)
The _______ muscles tend to move the tongue into the general region desired, while the _____ muscles tend to provide the fine, graded control of the articulatory gesture.
- Extrinsic
2. Intrinsic
This divides the tongue longitudinally and serves as the point of origin for the transverse muscles of the tongue.
Median fibrous septum (lingual septum)
This originates at the body of the hyoid bone via the hyoglossal membrane, forming the tongue attachment with the hyoid. It then courses the length of the tongue.
Lingual septum
Which muscle courses along the length of the tongue comprising the upper layer of the tongue?
Superior longitudinal muscle
This muscle originates form the fibrous submucus layer near the epiglottis, from the hyoid and from the median fibrous septum. Its fibers fan forward and outward to insert into the lateral margins of the tongue and the apex region.
Superior longitudinal muscle
Innervation of all of the intrinsic muscles of the tongue are from which nerve?
CN XII Hypoglossal nerve
This muscle elevates and assists in retraction of the tongue and deviates the tip. If only the LHS muscle is contracted the tongue is pulled to the LHS, if both muscles are contracted the tip is elevated.
Superior longitudinal muscle.
This muscle originates at the root of the tongue and corpus hyoid, with fibres coursing to the apex of the tongue.
Inferior longitudinal muscle
This muscle occupies the lower sides of the tongue but not the medial tongue base (because the extrinsic muscle, the genioglossus takes up that space).
Inferior longitudinal muscle
This muscle pulls the tip of the tongue downward, assists in retraction and deviates the tongue.
Inferior longitudinal muscle
These muscles provide a mechanism for narrowing the tongue.
Transverse muscles
These muscles originate at the lingual septum and course laterally to insert into the sides of the tongue into the submucous tissue (although some fibres of this muscle continue to become the palatopharyngeus muscle)
Transverse muscle
These muscles run at right angles to the transverse muscles and flatten the tongue.
Vertical muscle
Fibres of these muscles course from the base of the tongue and insert into the membranous cover.
Vertical muscle
The fibres of these intrinsic tongue muscles interweave:
Transverse and vertical muscles
Contracting this muscle pulls the tongue down to the floor of the mouth.
Vertical muscle
This extrinsic muscle is the prime mover of the tongue, making up its deeper bulk.
Genioglossus muscle
This muscle originates from the inner mandibular surface at the symphysis and fans up, back and forward to insert into the tip and dorsum of the tongue, and also to the corpus of the hyoid bone.
Genioglossus muscle
In this muscle, anterior fibres retract the tongue, posterior fibres protrude the tongue and together anterior and posterior fibres depress the tongue.
Genioglossus
Name 3 muscles attached to the styloid process:
- Styloglossus muscle
- Stylopharyngeus muscle
- Stylohyoid muscle
What are the differences in function between intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles?
Intrinsic - precise articulatory performance, refined continuation of the movements of the extrinsic muscles.
Extrinsic - Move the tongue as a unit. Set the general posture for articulation
The genioglossus muscle occupies a medial position in the tongue. Which intrinsic muscles and 2 extrinsic muscles are lateral to it?
Inferior longitudinal muscle
- Hyoglossus
- Styloglossus
Fibres of the genioglossus muscle insert into the entire surface of the tongue but are scarce to absent in the tip. True or false?
True.
What is the result of contraction of anterior fibres in the genioglossus muscle?
Retraction of tongue
