Gustatory System

ORGANA GUSTATORIA( Taste )

Sensation is receipt by TASTE BUDS on PAPILLAE LINGUALI

S (Digestivus System), as chemoreceptor.

There are 4 kinds of Papillae on Corpus + Apex Linguae

Muscles

Intrinsic : The longitudinal, transverse and

vertical muscles

Extrinsic : The genioglossus, hyoglossus,

styloglossus and palatoglossus muscles

Clinical Notes
Laceration of The Tongue :
Bleeding is halted by grasping the tongue bet
ween the finger and thumb posterior to the la
ceration, thus occluding the branches of the li
ngual artery.

Lymph drainage

Tip : submental lymph nodes

Sides of anterior two thirds : submandibular ly
mph nodes
Posterior third : deep cervical lymph nodes

17

Sensory and Motoric Innervat

ion

Anterior two thirds : the lingual nerve (general

sensation) and chorda tympani (taste)
Posterior one thirds : the glossopharyngeal n
erve (general sensation and taste)
Motoric : n.hypoglossus
