• The root of the tongue rests on the floor of the mouth and is attached
to the mandible and hyoid bone. The nerves, vessels, and extrinsic
muscles enter or leave the tongue through its root.
• Muscles of tongue.
• All the muscles are
bilateral, being partially
separated by a median
septum.
• Intrinsic muscles are
arranged in several
planes.
• The genioglossus is a
vertically placed fan-
shaped muscle that is in
contact with its fellow
medially.
Lymphatic drainage
The lymphatic drainage is to the submental, submandibular, deep cervical nodes,
and extensive communications occur across the median plane.
• Sensory innervations
TOOTH DEVELOPMENT -
ENAMEL ORGAN
Stained with H&E
1, 3, 4 - enamel organ
1 - internal cells of the enamel
organ (these cells will be
ameloblsats)
2 - dental papilla
3 - external cells of the enamel
organ
4 - cells forming the main bulk of
the enamel organ (stellate
reticulum)
5 - dental follicle
6 - epithelium of oral cavity
• TOOTH DEVELOPMENT -
FORMATION OF DENTAL
TISSUES
Stained with H&E
• 1 - ameloblasts (former external
cells of the enamel organ)
2 - enamel
3 - dentine (predentine)
4 - odontoblasts (cells which
covered the top of dental papilla)
5 - dental pulp (former dental
papilla)
TOOTH DEVELOPMENT -
FORMATION OF DENTAL TISSUES
Stained with H&E
1 - ameloblasts
2 - enamel
3 - dentine (predentine)
4 - odontoblasts
5 - dental pulp
border between enamel and dentine
is marked with dot line
Salivary Glands
• Produce and secrete
saliva that:
– Cleanses the mouth
– Moistens and dissolves
food chemicals
– Assist in bolus formation
– Contains enzymes that
break down starch
• Three pairs of extrinsic
glands – parotid,
submandibular, and
sublingual
• Intrinsic salivary glands
(buccal glands) –
scattered throughout
the oral mucosa
• Parotid – lies
anterior to the ear
between the
masseter muscle
and skin
– Parotid duct –
opens into the
vestibule next to
the second upper
molar
• Submandibular – lies
along the medial aspect of
the mandibular body
Its ducts open at the
base of the lingual
frenulum.
• Sublingual – lies anterior
to the submandibular gland
under the tongue
It opens via 10-12
ducts into the floor of
the mouth.
• the major blood
vessels in the area of
the salivary glands.
• 1 = retromandibular
vein,
• 2 = external carotid
artery,
• 3 = facial artery and
vein,
• 4 = lingual artery and
vein,
• 5 = external carotid
artery,
• 6 = internal jugular
vein,
• 7 = external jugular
vein.
