Palatine tonsil
The uvula is part of the (hard palate, soft palate, tongue, vestibule)?
Soft palate
What is the function of the soft palate?
close off the naso-oral communication during swallowing, sucking, and phonation
What innervates the tensor veli palatine?
CN V (mandibular)
What innervates all the muscles of the soft palate except the tensor veli palatini?
CN X (pharyngeal plexus)
This muscle tenses the soft palate, and is also responsible for moving the palate posteriorly to contact the pharyngeal wall along with the levator veli palatini?
Tensor veli palatini
This muscle elevates the pharynx (brings it closer to the palate…hint) and larynx, and tenses the soft palate?
palatopharyngeus
This soft palate muscle elevates the posterior part of the tongue and draws the soft palate to the tongue?
Palatoglossus muscle
This soft palate muscle shortnes the UVULA
Musculus uvulae
The 5 soft palate muscles are?
Tensor veli palatini, levator veli palatini, palatopharyngeus, palatoglossus, musculus uvulae
The muscles of the soft palate are innervated by (CN X, CN V, Both, Neither)?
CN V (mandibular innervates the tensor veli palatini)
The tongue is situated in the (mouth, oropharynx, both, neither)
Neither…..j/k its both :)
By what structure is the tongue connected to the pharynx with?
Superior constrictor muscle
What are the two parts of the tongue?
Oral (anterior 2/3) and Body (posterior 1/3)
What is the V shaped groove that separates the oral and pharyngeal parts of the tongue?
Sulcus terminalis
Where are the circumvallate papillae located (what do they do?)
just anterior to the sulcus terminalis, taste buds
This is located at the apex of the sulcus terminalis and is the embryonic remnant of the thyroglossal duct?
Foramen Cecum
Which part of the tongue develops embryonically from the rostral end of the foregut?
Pharyngeal
Lingual tonsils can be found in which part of the tongue (pharyngeal, oral, both, neither)
pharyngeal (covered with mucosa)
Ankyloglossia or tongue-tied is a condition in children involving which of these structures (terminal sulcus, frenulum of the tongue, median sulcus, Foramen Cecum)
Frenulum (when the frenulum extends almost all the way up to the tongue and interferes with protrusion of the tongue)
Quick absorbtion of drugs is accomplished through this vein, located on either side of the frenulum?
What is the deep lingual vein (that is correct….you have the board)
Muscles of this structure are formed from occipital somites….when they migrate they drag CN 12 with them
What is the tongue
The intrinsic muscles of the tongue are responsible for this ?
Changing the shape of the tongue
The extrinsic muscles of the tongue do this (alter position, alter shape, both , neither)
Both
What are the four pairs of extrinsic muscles?
styloglossus, hyoglossus, genioglossus, palatoglossus
All the extrinsic muscles of the tongue are innervated by CN12, except for this guy…if he was a man he would be an ARCHer
What is the palatoglossus muscle
This muscle depresses AND protrudes the tongue?
Genioglossus (Get Peak Systolic Heart Rate = Genioglossus protrudes Styloglossus Hyoglossus retracts)
This muscle retracts the tongue and draws up the sides
Styloglossus
These muscles are involved with retracting the tongue (hyoglossus, styloglossus, both, neither)?
Both
These muscles are involved in depressing the tongue (genioglossus, hyoglossus, both, neither)
Both
These muscles are involved in protruding the tongue (hyoglossus, palatoglossus, both, neither)
Neither (its genioglossus)
What are the 4 sensory innervations of the tongue?
CN 5, 7, 9, 10
This nerve controls general sensation in the anterior 2/3 of the tongue (Lingual N CN5; Glossopharyngeal CN 9; both, neither)
Lingual CN 5
Glossopharyngeal nerve controls what in the posterior 1/3 of the tongue (general sensation, taste, both, neither)
Both
Chorda Tympani (CN 7) does what in the tongue (General sensation anterior, Taste posterior, Taste anterior, general sensation epiglottic region)
