Term
landmarks of the oral cavity
Definition
-labial frenulum = connects teeth to lips (flap of skin between teeth and lips)
-alveolar ridge = ridge of the maxilla bone behiind teeth
-hard palate = dome on roof of mouth, maxilla and palatine bones
-velum (soft palate) = muscle tissue behind bone
uvula - hangy down thing in back of throat (same plane as posterior faucial arch)
buccal cavities = space on side between lip and jaw

Term
extrinsic tongue muscles
Definition

Term
velum (soft palate)
Definition
-courses from the posterior aspect of the hard palate to the uvula
-soft tissue structure that serves as a "valve" to separate the oral and nasal cavities
-raises to close the velopharyngeal port for oral sounds and swallowing
-lowers to open he velopharyngeal port for nasal sounds and breathing
-the bulk of the velum is made of up of the levator veli palatini muscle
Term
pharynx
Definition
-vertical tube (12cm long0
-courses from the nasal choanae to the laryngeal vestibule
-three parts of the pharynx: nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx
-muscles of pharynx intermingle with muscles of the tongue, velum, & larynx
-pharyngeal muscles can narrow/dilate this tube for speech & swallowing
