17
Q

what innervates genioglossus?

A

hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)

18
Q

what is the role of palatoglossus?

A

elevate tongue (move soft palate)

19
Q

what innervates palatoglossus?

A

vagus nerve (CN X) in the pharyngeal plexus

20
Q

what is the role of styloglossus?

A

elevate and retract tongue

21
Q

what innervates styloglossus?

A

hypoglossal (CN XII)

22
Q

what is the role of hyoglossus?

23
Q

what innervates hyoglossus?

A

hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)

24
Q

what artery supplies the tongue and where does it arise from?

A
lingual artery (giving dorsal lingual, sublingual and deep lingual branches)
2nd anterior branch of the external carotid
25
Q

what provides venous drainage of the tongue?

A

deep lingual, sublingual and dorsal lingual veins –> lingual vein –> internal jugular vein
(corresponds to arterial supply)

26
Q

what gives nervous supply to the tongue?

A

motor: CN X (palatoglossus), CN XII (all other muscles of tongue)
sensory: internal laryngeal (CN X), glossopharyngeal (CN IX), chorda tympani (CN VII) and lingual nerve (CN V3)

27
Q

what provides lymphatic drainage of the tongue?

A

tip: submental
lateral edges: inferior deep cervical nodes
middle part and posterior: superior deep cervical

28
Q

what bones form the hard palate?

A

maxilla and palatine bones

29
Q

what innervates the hard palate?

A

nasopaltine nerve, greater and lesser palatine nerves

sensory: CN IX

30
Q

what muscles are present in the soft palate and what inervates them?

A
levator veli palatini
palatopharyngeus
palatoglossus
musculus uvulae
CN X in pharyngeal plexus
31
Q

what is the pterygopalatine ganglion, where is it found and where do its axons innervate?

A

parasympathetic ganglion in the pterygopalatine fossa

lacrimal glands and nasal mucosa (through greater and lesser palatine nerves)

32
Q

what innervates the pterygopalatine ganglion?

A

greater petrosal nerve (branch of CN VII)

33
Q

what gives nervous innervation to the teeth?

A

posterior middle and anterior superior alveolar nerves (CN V2)
infra-orbital nerve (CN V2)
mental branch (CN V3)
incisive branch of inferior alveolar nerve (CN V3)
dental branches of inferior alveolar nerve (CN V3)
buccal branch (CN V3)

all CNV3 from inferior alveolar nerve from lingual nerve (CNV3)

34
Q

what arteries supply the teeth?

A

anterior and posterior superior alveolar

inferior alveolar
