Answers 2: The ridges in the brain are called gyri and the grooves are call sulci.

The oral cavity enabled us to identify and locate the following: the hard palate, the soft palate, the tongue, and the taste buds. This procedure taught us that mammals have two types of teeth, incisors located in the front and cheek teeth located in the back of the oral cavity. We were also asked to locate the

(Leady, 2018) No changes were made to the procedure. First we obtained a kit to use. Next we would dry the tongue and apply the blue food coloring using a cotton swab. Lastly we would take a picture of the cardstock over the tongue to count to fungiform papillae.

The palate, or roof of the mouth has two parts; anterior and a posterior portion. The anterior is the firm tissue closest to the teeth to the middle of the roof of the mouth. The hard palate is in white firm center in the top of the mouth. The wave like tissue is the palatine rugae leading to the incisive papilla which is the small bulge at the beginning of the palate (Martini). The posterior portion of the palate is a looser more yellow and light pink color. The soft palate goes from the middle of the uvula that hangs from the posterior palate.

The final system of the body I examined was the digestive system. This is known to be one of the most interesting areas of the body because of the many functions the system is responsible for. This system is also home to several major organs. One major organ is the salivary gland. This gland is in the lower part of the face, as well as the side of the face under the ear along the jaw line. The key function is the gland’s ability to produce saliva. These glands are light pink, and have a few possible shapes and sizes. Following the gland, I began to take a look at the pharynx. This organ can be found posterior to the larynx, and near the nasal and oral cavities. The pharynx is responsible for assisting with the passage of food. It is a muscle like tube with the same

At rest and during speech, X showed symmetry in her lips and face. She was a nose breather and showed adequate range of motion for lips and jaw during speech. X demonstrated adequate tongue-jaw and lip-jaw dissociation. She demonstrated sufficient lip strength and was able to produce a tight labial seal. X presented with adequate range of motion of her tongue as noted by her ability to protrude and retract the tongue, create lateral tongue wags, and elevate the tongue tip. She presented with difficulty when fully encircling her lips with her tongue. The client’s dentition was unremarkable.

Mouth. Oropharynx absent of lesions and/ or exudates. Mucus membranes, gingivae pink and moist. Upper and lower teeth are present. Multiple fillings in good repair. Tongue pink and smooth. Protrudes midline. No abnormal movements/ tremor noted.

and near the base of the skull. The nasopharynx is the upper part of the throat, the pharynx,

Of 37 cases, 9 cases occurred in major salivary glands, with eight occurrences in the parotid region - 1 PA, 1 Adenolymphoma & 6 Acinic cell adenocarcinoma (AcADCC) and one in submandibular region- 1 Polymorphous low grade adenocarcinoma (PLGA). Of 37 cases, 28 cases occurred in minor salivary glands, with palate being the most commonly affected site by both benign (63.63%) and malignant tumors (58%).

Look at the photo of a Pacinian corpuscle. Notice the onion-like bulb of connective tissue. Describe briefly —
