Teeth • 32 adult/20 “milk” teeth • Medial/lateral incisor • Canine • 2 premolars • 3 molars
Hard Palate • Palatine process maxillary bone • Horizontal plate palatine bone • > (3rd molar), < palatine foramina • Incisive foramen posterior nasal spine
Muscles • Tensor veli • Levator veli • Palatoglossus • Palatopharyngeus • Musculus uvulae
Lymphatic Drainage • Gingivae and all teeth less the mandibular incisors drain into the submandibular lymph nodes • Tongue:
Tongue Veins • Return to IJ directly or indirectly • Sublingual absorption
Tongue Topography • Sulcus terminalis • Foramen cecum • Median sulcus and septum
Papillae • Vallate • Foliate: lateral and poorly developed in humans; • Filiform: touch receptors (raspy); no taste buds • Fungiform:
Taste • Tongue (Vallate, foliate, and fungiform) • Soft palate • Oral pharynx • Epiglottis
Taste (SVA) • Geniculate ganglion • Inferior ganglion IX • Inferior ganglion X X IX VII
General Sensation • GSA of lingual anterior 2/3 • GVA of IX posterior 1/3
