    ORAL CAVITY

    INTRODUCTION

     The oral cavity, or more commonly known as the


    mouth or buccal cavity, serves as the first portion
    of the digestive system.

     It consists of several different anatomically


    different aspects that work together effectively
    and efficiently to perform several functions.
    These aspects include the lips, tongue, palate,
    and teeth.
    ORAL CAVITY
    LIPS
     The lips are two fleshy folds that
    surround the oral orifice.
     They are covered on the outside by skin
    and are lined on the inside by mucous
    membrane.
     The substance of the lips is made up by
    the orbicularis oris muscle and the
    muscles that radiate from the lips into the
    face
    LIPS
     Also included are the labial blood vessels and
    nerves, connective tissue, and many small
    salivary glands.
     The philtrum is the shallow vertical groove seen
    in the midline on the outer surface of the upper
    lip.
    ORAL CAVITY
     The mouth extends from the lips to the pharynx.
    The mouth is divided into:

     the vestibule
     the mouth cavity proper
    THE VESTIBULE
     The vestibule lies between the lips and the
    cheeks externally and the gums and the teeth
    internally.
     This slitlike space communicates with the
    exterior through the oral fissure between the lips.
     The duct of the parotid salivary gland opens on a
    small papilla into the vestibule opposite the
    upper second molar tooth
    VESTIBULE
    THE MOUTH PROPER
     The mouth proper has a roof and a floor.
    ROOF OF MOUTH
     The roof of the mouth is formed by the hard
    palate in front and the soft palate behind.
    FLOOR OF MOUTH
     The submandibular duct of the submandibular
    gland opens onto the floor of the mouth on the
    summit of a small papilla on either side of the
    frenulum of the tongue.

     The sublingual gland projects up into the mouth,


    producing a low fold of mucous membrane, the
    sublingual fold (plica semilunaris).

     Numerous ducts of the gland open on the summit


    of the fold.
    FLOOR
    SENSORY INNERVATION OF THE ROOF OF
    MOUTH
     The greater palatine and nasopalatine nerves
    from the maxillary division of the trigeminal
    nerve (V2) .
    HARD PALATE
     ✓ The hard palate is formed by the palatine
    processes of the maxillae and the horizontal
    plates of the palatine bones.

     ✓ It is continuous behind with the soft palate


    SOFT PALATE
     The soft palate is a mobile fold attached to the
    posterior border of the hard palate.
     ✓ Its free posterior border presents in the
    midline a conical projection called the uvula.
     ✓ The soft palate is continuous at the sides with
    the lateral wall of the pharynx.
     ✓ The soft palate is composed of mucous
    membrane, palatine aponeurosis, and muscles.
    SOFT PALATE
    MUSCLES OF THE SOFT PALATE :
     ✓ The muscles of the soft palate are the tensor
    veli palatini, the levator veli palatini, the
    palatoglossus, the palatopharyngeus, and the
    musculus uvulae.

     ✓ The muscle fibers of the tensor veli palatini


    converge as they descend from their origin to
    form a narrow tendon, which turns medially
    around the pterygoid hamulus
    MUSCLES
     The tendon, together with the tendon of the
    opposite side, expands to form the palatine
    aponeurosis.

     When the muscles of the two sides contract, the


    soft palate is tightened so that the soft palate
    may be moved upward or downward as a tense
    sheet.
    NERVE SUPPLY OF THE PALATE
     The greater and lesser palatine nerves from the
    maxillary division of the Trigeminal nerve enter
    the palate through the greater and lesser
    palatine foramina .
     The nasopalatine nerve, also a branch of the
    maxillary nerve, enters the front of the hard
    palate through the incisive foramen.
     The glossopharyngeal nerve also supplies the
    soft palate.
    BLOOD SUPPLY OF THE PALATE
     The greater palatine branch of the maxillary
    artery, the ascending palatine branch of the
    facial artery, and the ascending pharyngeal
    artery
