(40 cards)
oral cavity proper
area between teeth (palate to tongue, continuous with oropharynx)
vestibule
area between cheek and teeth
lips inn.
upper lip: V2 (infraorbital n.)
lower lip: V3 (mental and buccal nn.)
lips lymphatic drainage
upper lip: ipsilaterally to submandibular nodes
central lower lip: ipsilaterally to submental nodes
lateral lower lip: bilaterally to submandibular nodes
inn. to upper teeth
superior alveolar divisions (V2)
inn. to lower teeth
inferior alveolar divisions (V3)
tongue components
- body (anterior 2/3), mobile
- root (posterior 1/3), fixed
- epiglottic region
body and root of tongue separated by
terminal sulcus
filiform papillae
small conical projections, no taste buds
fungiform papillae
medium, dome-shaped
circumvallate papillae
large, round, bulk of taste receptors
intrinsic muscles of tongue
- superior longitudinal m.
- vertical and transverse mm.
- inferior longitudinal m.
Inn. CN XII (GSE), change shape of tongue
extrinsic muscle of tongue
- genioglossus
- hyoglossus
- styloglossus
- palatoglossus
Move tongue
genioglossus
protrudes tongue, pushes tongue to opposite side acting unilaterally. CN XII (GSE)
hyoglossus
retracts, depresses tongue. CN XII (GSE)
styloglossus
retracts, elevates tongue. CN XII (GSE)
palatoglossus
pulls tongue and soft palate together. CN X (SVE)
CN XII lesion
tongue protrudes to side of lesion
general sensation to anterior tongue
lingual n. (V3)
taste to anterior tongue
facial n. (chorda tympani)
general sensation and taste to posterior tonge
CN IX
general sensation and taste to epiglottic region
CN X
blood supply to tongue and oral cavity
lingual a. (br. from external carotid)
tongue lymph drainage
posterior tongue: superior deep cervical nodes
apex of tongue: bilateral to submental nodes
middle lateral tongue: ipsilateral to submandibular nodes
central middle tongue: contralateral to inferior deep cervical nodes (jugulo-omohyoid node)
