Exercise No. 2 – short term

PARAORAL TISSUES
Paraoral tissue are tissues near or around the oral cavity.
The oral cavity begins the digestive system and posterior end,
forms a common pathway with the respiratory system. The oral
cavity begins at the lips and cheeks and extends posteriorly to
the area of the palatine tonsils. These tonsils lie on the side
of the throat between two folds of tissues, one in front and one
at the back, called the tonsillar pillars. It is at this point
that the oral cavity ends and the area behind or posterior to, it
becomes known as the oral pharynx, which is shared pathway of the
digestive system, form the oral cavity to the laryngeal pharynx,
and esophagus and the respiratory system, from the nasal cavity
to the nasal pharynx. Oral pharynx, laryngeal pharynx, larynx,
trachea, bronchi, and lungs.
When considering the oral cavity, it s divided into two
parts: (1) vestibule, which is a space between the lips or cheeks
and the teeth (in an edentulous person, or one without teeth, it
would extend between the lips or cheeks and the alveolar ridges
where the teeth were at one time) and (2) oral cavity proper,
which is the area from the teeth or the alveolar ridges back to
the area of the palatine tonsils.
Objective: The student should be able to describe all the
different paraoral tissues.
Materials: Textbooks and reference books
Procedures:
1. illustrate and label the oral cavity proper & the
landmarks that form its boundaries
Question:
1. Give and describe all the different paraoral tissues.

2. What is the fauces? What are the pillars of the fauces ?
