Study Notes
Oral Anatomy
- The uvula is not located at the anterior part of the roof of the mouth.
- The tongue is involved in the process of mastication, playing a crucial role in breaking down food.
Periodontology
- Gingiva is the tissue that surrounds the crown of the teeth, protecting them from infection.
Tooth Development
- Tooth eruption involves the movement of the tooth from its location within the alveolar crypt to a functional position in the oral cavity.
Tooth Resorption
- Shedding is not the process of resorption of the roots of permanent teeth, but rather the loss of primary teeth.
Floor of the Mouth
- The floor of the mouth may have visible blood vessels near the surface, making it sensitive to injury.
Lip Anatomy
- The lips consist of two grooves: the nasolabial groove and the labiomental groove, which provide landmarks for anatomical studies.
Palate Anatomy
- The hard palate is the anterior part of the roof of the mouth, separating the oral cavity from the nasal cavity.
Cheek Anatomy
- The cheek is not also known as linea alba buccalis, which is a term used to describe a specific anatomical feature.
Tongue Function
- The tongue is the principle organ of taste, and it also plays a crucial role in speech and swallowing, making it a vital organ for oral function.
