41
Q

T/F:

Extrinsic salivary glands are within the oral cavity

A

False

Outside

42
Q

T/F:

Parotid gland secretes serous

A

False

mucus

43
Q

What do the sublingual/submandibular glands secrete?

A

Mixed mucus and serous

44
Q

Sublingual gland is between ___ and _____

A

Between mylohyoid and oral mucosa

45
Q

Where would you find the lingual tonsils?

A

Pharyngeal part of the tongue

46
Q

Where does the pharyngeal part of tongue extend from?

A

Posterior to the vallate papillae to the epiglottis

47
Q

The palatine tonsil is found in between which two structures?

A

Palatoglossal fold (more lateral) and palatopharyngeal fold (more medial)

48
Q

T/F:

Palatopharyngeal fold is more lateral than the palatoglossal fold

A

False

Other way round

49
Q

T/F:

Submandibular glands empty into the sublingual folds

A

False
They empty into the sublingual papillae
(sublingual ducts empty into the sublingual folds)

50
Q

T/F:

Inferior longitudinal muscles are mostly lateral

A

True

51
Q

T/F:

The lingual artery can be found superficial to hyoglossus muscle

A

False
It is deep
passes between hyoglossus and genioglossus

52
Q

T/F:

Palatoglossus is beneath the palatoglossus fold/arch

A

True

Blood vessels of the oral cavity receive parasympathetic supply from plexuses on the lingual artery

A

False

Sympathetic supply

54
