New cards

what is the superior longitudinal muscle

an intrinsic paired muscle to shorten the tongue and raise the tip up

2
New cards

what is the origin, course, insertion, function, and innervation of the superior longitudinal muscle

  • origin: root of the tongue

  • course: fans forward and outward

  • insertion: tip of the tongue

  • function: to shorten the tongue and raise the tip up to produce alverolar, dental, palato-alveolar consonants

  • innervation: hypoglossal nerve

3
New cards

what is the inferior longitudinal muscle

intrinsic paired muscle that shortens the tongue and pulls the tip down.

4
New cards

what is the origin, course, insertion, function, and innervation of the inferior longitudinal muscle

  • origin: root of the tongue and corpus hyoid

  • course: forward

  • insertion: tip of the tongue

what does this show

right: inferior longitudinal muscle left: transverse muscle

6
New cards

what is the transverse muscle

7
New cards

what is the origin, course, insertion, function, and innervation of the transverse muscle

  • origin: median fibrous septum

  • course: laterally

  • insertion: submucous fibrous tissue at the lateral margins

8
New cards

what is the vertical muscle

9
New cards

what is the origin, course, insertion, function, and innervation of the verticle muscle

  • origin: mucous membrane of the dorsum

  • course: vertically downward

  • function: flattens tongue

  • innervation: hypoglossal nerve

10
New cards

the verticle muscle is the ______ to the transverse muscle

antagonist

13
New cards

what is the styloglossus muscle

extrinsic small fan-shaped paired muscle that draws the tongue up and backwards

14
New cards

what is the origin, course, insertion, function, and innervation of the styloglossus muscle

  • origin: styloid process (near the ear)

  • course: forward and down

  • insertion: tip/apex w the inferior longitudinal muscle

  • function: draw tongue up + backwards; draw tongue tip to the side to produce velar sounds

  • innervation: hypoglossal nerve

15
New cards

the styloglossus muscle _______ with the inferior longitudinal muscle

inter-delegates

16
New cards
<p>what does this show</p>

what does this show

styloglossus muscle

17
New cards

what is the hyoglossus muscle

extrinsice thin quadrilateral paires muscle to draw tongue back and down

18
New cards

what is the origin, course, insertion, function, and innervation of the hyoglossus muscle

  • origin: hyoid bone

  • course: upward

  • insertion: sides of tongue w intrinsic muscles

  • function: draw tongue down and back for low and back vowel production

  • innervation: hypoglossal nerve

19
New cards

the hyoglossus muscle is a _____ for genioglossus in lowering the tongue

synergist

20
New cards
<p>what does this show</p>

what does this show

hypoglossus muscle

21
New cards

what is the genioglossus muscle

extrinsic flat paired muscle (biggest and strongest) bulk of the tongue

22
New cards

what is the origin, insertion, and function of the genioglossus muscle

  • origin: surface of mandibular symphysis

  • insertion: dorsum and hyoid bone

  • function:

    • anterior fibers: retract the tongue

    • posterior fibers: protrude the tongue

    • both working together: depress the middle part of the tongue

      • all of these produce interdental sounds

23
New cards

what is the prime muscle for tongue depression

geniolgossus muscle

24
New cards

what muscle is used when swallowing and positioning the bolus and initiates swallowing reflex

genioglossus muscle

25
New cards

the genioglossus muscle _____ with vertical, transverse, and superior longitudinal muscles

inter-digitates

26
New cards
<p>what does this show</p>

what does this show

genioglossus muscle

27
New cards

what is the palatoglossus muscle

extrinsic lingual and palatal paired muscle to raise back of tongue up and lower soft palate

28
New cards

what is the origin, course, insertion, function, and innervation of the palatoglossus muscle

  • origin: anterior surface of soft palate

  • course: down

  • insertion: sides of the tongue w other lingual muscles

  • function: raise back of tongue up and lower soft palate

  • innervation: accessory and vagus nerves

29
New cards

palatoglossus muscle is the ______ with the styloglossus

synergist

30
New cards

what is a synergist muscle

an assisting muscle

31
New cards

what is an antagonist

a muscle working against one

32
New cards

the palate is lowered when both the ______ and the ______ are contracted

palatoglossus; hyoglossus

33
New cards
<p>what does this show</p>

what does this show

palatoglossus muscle

34
New cards

what is the most dynamic articulator we have

the tongue

35
New cards

what is the function of the tongue

to articulate consonants (interdental fricatives, alveolar/palato-alveolar consonants, palatal, and velar consonants) and to articulate all vowels
