The Oral Cavity
The Oral Cavity
Consists of two parts
Oral vestibule : between
cheeks and lip and teeth
Oral cavity proper : within
arch of teeth
Boundaries
Anterior and lateral: gum and
teeth

Roof: palate
Floor: tongue, muscles and
mucous membrane
Oral vestibule leads, by the
space behind the molar teeth,
into the oral cavity proper
Palate

Teeth
Part and structure of the teeth
Each tooth consists of 3 parts:
Crown
Neck
Root
Dental cavity
Pulp chamber
Root canal transmits the nerves and
vessels to and from the dental cavity
through the apical foramen
Teeth
Calcified tissues
Dentine - is a yellowish
white tissue, that forms the
bulk of tooth.
Enamel -is a hard, brittle
white tissue that covers the
crown of the tooth
Cement -is an unusual form
of bone that covers the root of
the tooth
Dental pulp formed
connective tissue, blood
vessels and nerves.
Teeth 牙
Periodontal tissue
Periodontal membrane
Alveolar bone
Gum
Teeth
Tongue
Two parts: divided two parts by vshaped terminal sulcus
Body of tongue -anterior 2/3
Apex of tongue -free rounded
tip

a small median pit, the
foramen cecum of tongue

-a midline fold of mucous
membrane connecting tongue to
floor of mouth

and vertical muscles of tongue
Tongue
Extrinsic muscles of tongue
Genioglossus
Arises from mental spine of
mandible and inserts into either
side of midline of tongue

tongue forward and downward
(depresses and protrudes
tongue ); acting along making
apex of tongue to opposite side
Hyoglossus

border of gland, runs over the
masseter a finger’s breadth below
the zygomatic arch to pierce the
buccinator and opens into the mouth
cavity, opposite the upper second
molar tooth

incisors, lies at level of C6, is the
narrowest part of the esophagus
2. Where it is crossed by left
principal bronchus, 25cm from
incisors, lies at level of intervertebral
disc between T4 and T5.
3. Where it passes through the
esophageal hiatus of diaphragm,
40cm from incisors, at level of T10

prevalent in males
About 2-5cm long and located
30-100cm from ileocecal valve
Usually asymptomatic but:
May become inflamed (mimicking
appendcitis) or bleed

fibrous cord (distal end of yolk stalk)
and cause intestinal obstruction by
compressing adjacent intestinal loops

Blind sac, first part of large
intestine, with largest diameter
and thinnest wall
