Digestive System Part II: Mouth, Teeth, Salivary Glands

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Mouth/Oral Cavity/Buccal cavity   show
🗑
show form the anterior border of mouth; core and bulk consists of orbicularis oris skeletal muscle  
🗑
show gums; surround bases of teeth  
🗑
Vestibule   show
🗑
Palate   show
🗑
show forms the anterior portion of the roof of the mouth  
🗑
show forms the posterior portion of the roof of the mouth; posterior inferior tip is the uvula  
🗑
Uvula   show
🗑
show form lateral borders of mouth; core and bulk consist of skeletal muscle called the buccinator muscle  
🗑
Tongue   show
🗑
show compact mass of food and saliva formed by tongue movements; pushed into oropharynx by tongue  
🗑
Lingual frenulum   show
🗑
show covers most posterior part of tongue which lies in the oropharynx  
🗑
show peg-like projections on superior surface of tongue; taste buds are located on the sides of some of them  
🗑
Teeth   show
🗑
Mastication   show
🗑
show where teeth are located/lie  
🗑
show first set of teeth; emerge by about 2 yrs of age and totals 20 teeth; as permanent teeth enlarge/develop, roots of this set of teeth are reabsorbed causing teeth to fall out between 6 & 12 y.o.  
🗑
Permanent teeth   show
🗑
2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, 3 molars   show
🗑
Impacted teeth   show
🗑
show innervate upper teeth; branches of the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V)  
🗑
Inferior alveolar nerves   show
🗑
Two regions of a tooth   show
🗑
Crown   show
🗑
Enamel   show
🗑
Root   show
🗑
Dentin   show
🗑
show covers external surface of root; calcified connective tissue, attached to the periodontal ligament  
🗑
Periodontal ligament   show
🗑
Pulp cavity   show
🗑
show contents of pulp cavity; consists of nerves and blood vessels; can become infected when a tooth has a crack or deep cavity  
🗑
show where the pulp cavity extends into the root; narrow; provides a route for blood vessels and nerves to enter and exit the pulp cavity  
🗑
Root canal therapy   show
🗑
show result from gradual demineralization of enamel & dentin by bacterial action; decay begins w/ accumulation of dental plaque, film of sugar, bacteria and debris; metabolism of trapped sugar by bacteria produces acids which dissolve calcium salts from teeth  
🗑
show produce saliva (mixture of water, mucus, enzymes); enzymes begin digestion; some are scattered in mucosa of mouth, but 3 pairs of large extrinsic lie outside oral cavity and connect via ducts-parotid, submandibular, sublingual  
🗑
show largest of the salivary glands; lies anterior to ear, between masseter muscle and skin; mumps will cause the gland to swell  
🗑
show a viral infection whose symptoms include inflammation and swelling of the parotid salivary gland  
🗑
Submandibular salivary gland   show
🗑
show salivary gland in floor of oral cavity, under the tongue  
🗑
