The Sublingual Glands

• These are the smallest of the three paired salivary glands and the most deeply situated.
• They are almond-shaped and lie in the floor of the mouth between the mandible and the genioglossus muscle.
• The paired glands unite to form a horseshoe-shaped glandular mass around the lingual frenulum.

• Numerous small ducts (10 to 12) open into the floor of the mouth.
• Sometimes one of the ducts opens into the submandibular duct.

• The nerves the accompany the submandibular and sublingual glands are derived from the lingual and chorda tympani nerves and from the sympathetic nerves.
• The parasympathetic secretomotor fibres are from the submandibular ganglion.

Innervation of the Pharynx

• The motor and most of the sensory supply of the pharynx is derived from the pharyngeal plexus of nerves on the surface of the pharynx.
• The plexus is formed by pharyngeal branches of the vagus (CN X) and glossopharyngeal (CN IX) nerves, and by sympathetic branches for the superior cervical ganglion.

• The motor fibres in the pharyngeal plexus are derived from the cranial root of accessory nerve (CN XI), and are carried by the vagus nerve to all muscles of the pharynx and soft palate.
• The exceptions are stylopharyngeus (supplied by CN IX) and the tensor veli palatini (supplied by CN V3).

->The sides and base of the skull are formed partly by these bones.
->Each bone consists of four morphologically distinct parts that fuse during development (squamous, petromastoid, and tympanic parts and the styloid process).
->The flat squamous part is external to the lateral surface of the temporal lobe of the brain.
->The petromastoid part encloses the internal ear and mastoid cells and forms part of the base of the skull.
->The tympanic part contains the bony passage from the auricle (external ear), called the external acoustic meatus. The petromastoid part also forms a portion of the bony wall of the tympanic cavity (middle ear). The meatus and tympanic cavity are concerned with the transmission of sound waves.
->The slender, pointed styloid process of the temporal bone gives attachment to certain ligaments and muscles (e.g., the stylohyoid muscle that elevates the hyoid bone).
->The temporal bone articulates at sutures with the parietal, occipital, sphenoid, and zygomatic bones.
->The zygomatic process of the temporal bone unites with the temporal process of the zygomatic bone to form the zygomatic arch. The zygomatic arches form the widest part of the face.
->The head of the mandible articulates with the mandibular fossa on the inferior surface of the zygomatic process of the temporal bone.
->Anterior to the mandibular fossa is the articular tubercle.
->Because the zygomatic arches are the widest parts of the face and are such prominent facial features, they are commonly fractured and depressed. A fracture of the temporal process of the zygomatic bone would likely involve the lateral wall of the orbit and could injure the eye.

-> This bone forms much of the base and posterior aspect of the skull.
-> It has a large opening called the foramen magnum, through which the cranial cavity communicates with the vertebral canal.
-> It is also where the spinal cord becomes continuous with the medulla (oblongata) of the brain stem.
-> The occipital bone is saucer-shaped and can be divided into four parts: a squamous part (squama), a basilar part (basioccipital part), and two lateral parts (condylar parts).
-> These four parts develop separately around the foramen magnum and unite at about the age of 6 years to form one bone.
-> On the inferior surfaces of the lateral parts of the occipital bone are occipital condyles, where the skull articulates with C1 vertebra (the atlas) at the atlanto-occipital joints.
-> The internal aspect of the squamous part of the occipital bone is divided into four fossae: the superior two for the occipital poles of the cerebral hemispheres, and the inferior two, called cerebellar fossae, for the cerebellar hemispheres.

Muscles Around the Nose

The Nasalis Muscle

• This muscle consists of a transverse (compressor naris) and alar (dilator naris) parts.
• It is supplied by the buccal branch of the facial nerve.
