More Information

The labeled structures in the oral cavity play various functions, from food manipulation (tongue) and speech (soft palate, hard palate) to immune defense (tonsils).

Tips

A common mistake would be confusing structures with similar appearances or locations, such as the various frenula or the arches in the mouth.
