Components

- Component items*:
- *Feeder salivatory glands* (*feeder-salivation*)
* [- parotid gland] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_OTG LAC.PN.PSYM.OTG -> HumanMusclesHead parotid-gland): produces 25% of saliva in oral cavity, mostly serous * [- submandibular gland] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_SXG LAC.PN.PSYM.SXG -> HumanMusclesHead submandibular-gland): produces 70% of saliva in oral cavity, mixed serous (moisturing) and mucous (process food) * [- sublingual gland] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_SXG LAC.PN.PSYM.SXG -> HumanMusclesHead sublingual-gland): produces 5% of saliva in oral cavity, mostly mucous
- *Feeder taste sensation* (*mouth-taste-sensation*)
* Feeder - tongue gustatory hair cell (tongue-hair-cell -> LPC.PN.SG.TRG): taste sensation * Feeder - epiglottis (epiglottis-taste-buds -> LPC.PN.SG.NOD): taste sensation * Feeder - soft palate sparse taste receptors (soft-palate-sparse-taste-receptors -> LPC.PN.SG.GNG): taste sensation
- *Feeder tongue muscles* (*tongue-muscles*)
* [- genioglossus muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_HYG LPC.HM.HYG -> HumanMusclesHead genioglossus-muscle): keeps airway open and enables tongue to stick out and retract * [- hyoglossus muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_HYG LPC.HM.HYG -> HumanMusclesHead hyoglossus-muscle): depress and retract the tongue, important in singing * [- styloglossus muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_HYG LPC.HM.HYG -> HumanMusclesHead styloglossus-muscle): chewing, talking, suckling, and many other functions of tongue * [- chondroglossus muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_HYG LPC.HM.HYG -> HumanMusclesHead chondroglossus-muscle): depresses tongue * [- palatoglossus muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_AMB LPC.HM.AMB -> HumanMusclesHead palatoglossus-muscle): raising the back part of the tongue * [- transverse muscle of tongue] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_HYG LPC.HM.HYG -> HumanMusclesHead transverse-tongue-muscle): narrows and elongates tongue * [- vertical muscle of tongue] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_HYG LPC.HM.HYG -> HumanMusclesHead vertical-tongue-muscle): flattens tongue * [- inferior longitudinal muscle of tongue] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_HYG LPC.HM.HYG -> HumanMusclesHead tongue-inferior-longitudinal-muscle): shortens, retracts, pulls tip downward * [- stylohyoid muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_FCM LPC.HP.FCM -> HumanMusclesNeck stylohyoid-muscle): draw hyoid bone backwards and elevate tongue; elevate the hyoid during swallowing * [- superior longitudinal muscle of tongue] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_HYG LPC.HM.HYG -> HumanMusclesHead superior-longitudinal-muscle-tongue): shortens, turns tip upward, turns lateral margins upward
- *Feeder swallowing muscles and helper components* (*swallowing-muscles*)
* [- digastric muscle, facial] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_FCM LPC.HP.FCM -> HumanMusclesNeck digastric-muscle-facial): opens the jaw when the masseter and the temporalis are relaxed * [- digastric muscle, trigeminal] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_PTP_TRM LPC.HP.PTP.TRM -> HumanMusclesNeck digastric-muscle-trigeminal): opens the jaw when the masseter and the temporalis are relaxed * [- geniohyoid muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_SC_VH_SAN LPC.SC.VH.SAN -> HumanMusclesNeck geniohyoid-muscle): carry hyoid bone and the tongue upward during deglutition * [- mylohyoid muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_PTP_TRM LPC.HP.PTP.TRM -> HumanMusclesNeck mylohyoid-muscle): raises oral cavity floor, elevates hyoid, depresses mandible * [- inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_AMB LPC.HM.AMB -> HumanMusclesNeck inferior-pharyngeal-constrictor-muscle): swallowing * [- middle pharyngeal constrictor muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_AMB LPC.HM.AMB -> HumanMusclesNeck middle-pharyngeal-constrictor-muscle): swallowing * [- superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_AMB LPC.HM.AMB -> HumanMusclesNeck superior-pharyngeal-constrictor-muscle): swallowing * Feeder - uvula receptors (uvula-receptors -> LPC.PN.SG.TRG): preventing food from entering the nasal cavity * [- musculus uvulae muscle] (BrainRegionLAC_PN_PSYM_SPG LAC.PN.PSYM.SPG -> HumanMusclesHead uvulae-muscle): elevates and retracts the uvula, thickening the central part of the soft palate; shortens and broadens the uvula * [- levator veli palatini muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HM_AMB LPC.HM.AMB -> HumanMusclesHead levator-veli-palatini-muscle): elevates soft palate * [- tensor veli palatini muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_PTP_TRM LPC.HP.PTP.TRM -> HumanMusclesHead tensor-veli-palatini-muscle): tension of the soft palate * [- buccinator muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_FCM LPC.HP.FCM -> HumanMusclesHead buccinator-muscle): compress the cheeks against the teeth (blowing), mastication
- *Feeder chewing muscles* (*chewing-muscles*)
* Feeder - teeth (teeth -> LPC.PN.SG.TRG): chewing * [- masseter muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_PTP_TRM LPC.HP.PTP.TRM -> HumanMusclesHead masticatory-masseter-muscle): elevation (as in closing of the mouth) and retraction of mandible * [- lateral pterygoid muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_PTP_TRM LPC.HP.PTP.TRM -> HumanMusclesHead masticatory-lateral-pterygoid-muscle): depresses mandible * [- medial pterygoid muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_PTP_TRM LPC.HP.PTP.TRM -> HumanMusclesHead masticatory-medial-pterygoid-muscle): elevates mandible, closes jaw, helps lateral pterygoids in moving the jaw from side to side * [- temporal muscle] (BrainRegionLPC_HP_PTP_TRM LPC.HP.PTP.TRM -> HumanMusclesHead masticatory-temporal-muscle): elevation and retraction of mandible * Feeder - proprioception receptors of masticatory muscles (masticatory-unconscious-muscle-spindles -> LPC.MM.MSTR): unconscious proprioception from muscle spindles; monosynaptic masticatory reflex
