the inner mucosal lining of the lips and checks.
2. The ORAL CAVITY PROPER is the space contained
within the upper and lower dental arches.

include
ā¢MUSCULAR DIAPHRAGM
ā¢The TONGUE
ā¢The LATERAL WALLS (cheeks) are muscular and merge
anteriorly with the lips surrounding the oral fissure
ā¢ ORAL FISSURE (The Anterior Opening Of The Oral
Cavity).

of the pharynx (Posterior Aperture Of The Oral Cavity )
11.

CHEEK.
13.

MAXILLA and the MANDIBLE
ļ¶Its ROOF is formed by the HARD PALATE
ANTERIORLY and the SOFT PALATE POSTERIORLY
ļ¶Its FLOOR is formed by the MYLOHYOID MUSCLE.
The ANTERIOR 2/3RD OF THE TONGUE lies on the
floor.
15.
16. Made up of 3 Structures :
1. A MUSCULAR DIAPHRAGM, which fills the u-shaped
gap between the Left and Right sides of the Body of the
MANDIBLE and is composed of the paired MYLOHYOID
MUSCLES;
2.Two cord-like GENIOHYOID MUSCLES above the
diaphragm, which run from the MANDIBLE in front to the
HYOID BONE behind;
3.The TONGUE, which is Superior to the Geniohyoid
muscles.
Also present in the floor of the oral cavity proper are
salivary glands and their ducts.

18. ļ¶ Sensory
ā¢ ROOF: by GREATER PALATINE and NASOPALATINE
nerves (branches of Maxillary Nerve)
ā¢ FLOOR: by LINGUAL nerve (branch of Mandibular
Nerve)
ā¢ CHEEK: by BUCCAL nerve (branch of Mandibular Nerve)
ļ¶ Motor
ā¢ Muscle in the cheek (BUCCINATOR) and the lip
(ORBICULARIS ORIS) are supplied by the branches of the
FACIAL NERVE
19. ļ¶ Parasympathetic fibers & Taste
Branches of the FACIAL NERVE [VII], which join and
are distributed with branches of the TRIGEMINAL
NERVE [V];
ļ¶Sympathetic fibers
From SPINAL CORD LEVEL T1, synapse in the
SUPERIOR CERVICAL SYMPATHETIC GANGLION, and
are distributed along branches of the TRIGEMINAL
NERVE [V]
20. ļ¶All muscles of the tongue are innervated by the
HYPOGLOSSAL NERVE [XII],
ļ¶Except the PALATOGLOSSUS muscle; vagus nerve
[X].
ļ¶Muscles of the soft palate are innervated by the
vagus nerve [X]
ļ¶Except for the tensor veli palatini; branch from the
mandibular nerve [V3].
ļ¶The muscle, mylohyoid, that forms the floor of the
oral cavity is also innervated by the mandibular nerve
[V3].
22. ļ¶ APEX OF TONGUE : Directed anteriorly and sits
immediately behind the incisor teeth. Triangular in shape
& blunt.
ļ¶ ROOT OF TONGUE : is attached to the mandible and
the hyoid bone.
23. The superior surface of the oral part of the tongue is covered by
hundreds of papillae:
1. FILIFORM PAPILLAE are small cone-shaped projections of the
mucosa that end in one or more points;
2. FUNGIFORM PAPILLAE are rounder in shape and larger than
the filiform papillae, and tend to be concentrated along the
margins of the tongue;
3. VALLATE PAPILLAE, the largest of the papillae, which are blunt-
ended cylindrical papillae in invaginations in the tongue's surface-
there are only about 8 to 12 vallate papillae in a single v-
shaped line immediately anterior to the terminal sulcus of tongue;
4. FOLIATE PAPILLAE are linear folds of mucosa on the sides of
the tongue near the terminal sulcus of tongue.
24.
25. ļ¶ The bulk of the tongue is composed of muscle.
ļ¶ The tongue is completely divided into a left and right
half by a median sagittal septum composed of
connective tissue.
ļ¶ This means that all muscles of the tongue are paired.
ļ¶There are INTRINSIC and EXTRINSIC lingual muscles.
ļ¶Except for the palatoglossus, which is innervated by
the vagus nerve [X], all muscles of the tongue are
innervated by the hypoglossal nerve [XII].
26. The intrinsic muscles of the tongue originate and insert
within the substance of the tongue.
They are :
1. SUPERIOR LONGITUDINAL,
2. INFERIOR LONGITUDINAL,
3. TRANSVERSE,
4. VERTICAL MUSCLES
27. Extrinsic muscles of the tongue originate from structures
outside the tongue and insert into the tongue.
There are 4 major extrinsic muscles on each side :
1. GENIOGLOSSUS
2. HYOGLOSSUS
3. STYLOGLOSSUS
4. PALATOGLOSSUS.
28.
29. ļ¶ LINGUAL ARTERY : is the major ARTERY to the tongue.
ļ¶ It originates from the External Carotid Artery.
ļ¶ Also supplies the sublingual gland, gingiva, and oral
mucosa in the floor of the oral cavity.
ļ¶DORSAL and DEEP LINGUAL VEINS : They accompany
the lingual arteries in anterior parts of the tongue, but
become separated posteriorly by the hyoglossus
muscles.
ļ¶It joins the Internal Jugular Vein in the neck.
30.
31. ļ¶ GLOSSOPHARYNGEAL NERVE [IX] : Taste and general
sensation from the pharyngeal part of the tongue.
ļ¶ LINGUAL NERVE : General sensory innervation from the
anterior two-thirds or oral part of the tongue.
ļ¶FACIAL NERVE [VII] : Taste from the oral part of the
tongue is carried into the central nervous system.
ļ¶HYPOGLOSSAL NERVE [XII] : All muscles of the tongue
are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve [XII] except for
the Palatoglossus Muscle, which is innervated by the
VAGUS NERVE [X].

cleaner and UV rays are not trapped cancers can
account for about 60% of all oral cancers.
4. Air pollution ( Aromatic hydrocarbons )
5. Water and air contaminated by toxins of
industries

53. ļ¶ Any white patch or plaque that cannot be
characterized clinically or pathologically.
ā¢ Small, Well Circumscribed Homogenous White Plaque.

bright red plaque which cannot be characterized
clinically or pathologically as any other recognizable
condition.
ā¢ Irregular or Nodular
ā¢ May coexist with Leukoplakia
ā¢ Eroded area with demarcation against normal
appearing mucosa.
62. ORAL PRECANCER ā An intermediate clinical state with
increased cancer risk, which can be recognized and
treated with a much better prognosis than a full blown
cancer.
PREMALIGNANT LESION ā Morphologically altered
tissue in which cancer is more likely to develop than its
apparently normal counterpart.

associated with significantly increased risk of cancer.
