this lecture talked about various aspects of the pharynx, including muscles, tonsils, and innervation. the first section covered structures of the mouth and teeth: philtrum is the median shallow groove in the upper lip, labia frenulum is the fold of mucosal membrane that attaches the lip to the gums, and lingual frenulum is the fold that connects the tongue to the base of the mouth. there are 32 teeth, 8 in each half of each jaw: 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 pre-molar, and 3 molars. the crowns of the teeth are made up of dentine and enamel, and the pulp cavity inside contains nerves and blood vessels, which travel through the tooth in root canals and exit via the apical foramen. teeth are anchored to bone via the cementum and peridontium layers.
there are intrinsic muscles inside the tongue and extrinsic muscles of the tongue that attach to various structures in the pharynx and move the tongue in different directions. this includes the genioglossus, which attaches to the mental spine of the mandible and protrudes and depresses the tongue, the hyoglossus, which attaches to the hyoid bone and depresses the tongue, the styloglossus, which attaches to the styloid process of the mandible and retracts the tongue, and the palatoglossus, which attaches to the soft palate and raises the tongue. the first three tongue muscles are innervated by the hypoglossal nerve (CNXII), and the palatoglossus is innervated by the vagal nerve.
the tongue's sensory innervation can be divided into two aspects: somatosensory innervation delivers pain, touch, heat sensation from the filiform papillae of the tongue, while viscerosensory information delivers the taste information from the chemoreceptors from the valate and fungiform papillae on the tongue. on the top 1/3 of the tongue, both somatosensory and viscerosensory innervation is provided by the glossopharyngeal nerve (CNIX) while in the bottom 2/3 of the tongue, viscerosensory innervation is provided by the facial nerve (CNVII) and somatosensory by the lingual nerve (V3).
the next topic in the lecture was the pharyngeal and palatine muscles. there are several pharyngeal constrictor muscles which constrict the pharynx, all originate from the posterior pharyngeal raphe, and are all innervated by the vagus nerve. the superior constrictor attaches to the buccinator by way of the pteromandibular raphe, the middle constrictor attaches to the hyoid, and the inferior constrictor attaches to the cricoid and thyroid cartilage. the palatine muscles include the palatopharyngeus, which attaches the soft palate to the back of the throat and serves to lower the soft palate and the palatoglossus, which was covered above. the tensor veli palatini (innervated by CN V3), which originates on the base of the skull, hooks around the hamulus and tautens the palate while the levator veli palatini (innervated by the vagus nerve) lifts the palate.
tonsils are masses of lymphoid tissue which are present in 4 main places in the pharynx: the pharyngeal tonsils in the upper nasopharynx, the tubular tonsils near that auditory tube, the lingual tonsils on the posterior tongue, and the palatine tonsils, which are between the palatoglossus and the palatopharyngeus. lymph from these nodes ultimately drains into the deep cervical lymph nodes and into the venous system.
