Tongue01:01

Tongue

1.7K
The human tongue is a fascinating and complex organ, responsible for various essential functions such as swallowing, speech, and taste. It is also subject to various conditions and diseases. In this article, we delve into the anatomy of the tongue, its roles, and some common conditions that can affect it.
Anatomical Position in the Oral Cavity
The tongue is located within the oral cavity, also known as the mouth. It is attached to the floor of the mouth by a fold of mucous membrane called the...

The Tongue and Taste Buds00:49

The Tongue and Taste Buds

37.9K
The surface of the tongue is covered with various small bumps called papillae, which either distribute what has been ingested (filiform papillae) or contain the sensory taste (or gustatory) receptor cells (fungiform, circumvallate, and foliate papillae). Embedded within each taste-related papilla are the taste buds—clusters of 30 to 100 gustatory receptor cells.

Assessment of the Mouth01:26

Assessment of the Mouth

470
A thorough mouth assessment, including inspection and palpation of the lips, gums, tongue, tonsils, uvula, and pharynx, is crucial in detecting potential health issues. Diseases ranging from oral cancer to systemic conditions like diabetes could be identified early through careful oral examination. This article provides a detailed guide on conducting a comprehensive mouth assessment.
Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation II: ACLS Airway Management

166
Airway management is a key skill in emergency and critical care settings, as maintaining a clear airway is essential for adequate oxygenation and ventilation.Head Tilt-Chin Lift TechniqueThe head tilt-chin lift maneuver is an essential technique primarily used in patients without suspected cervical spine injuries. To perform this maneuver, one hand is placed on the patient’s forehead, and gentle pressure is applied backward to tilt the head. The fingertips of the other hand are positioned...

The Hyoid Bone01:12

The Hyoid Bone

3.2K
The hyoid bone is a small U-shaped bone located in the upper neck at the level of the inferior mandible, with its tips pointing posteriorly. It does not directly articulate with any other bone in the body. The hyoid acts as the attachment site for the tongue, the larynx, and the pharynx. It is held in position by a series of small muscles attached from above or below. These muscles help to move the hyoid up/down or forward/back in coordination with movements of the tongue, larynx, and pharynx...

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway01:25

Suctioning the Oropharyngeal Airway

440
In preparing for oropharyngeal airway suctioning, a nurse must gather all necessary equipment, including a suction unit with tubing, a prepackaged suction kit, sterile gloves, water or saline for irrigation, a water-soluble lubricant, and additional personal protective equipment (such as a gown, mask, and goggles) to control infections.
After assembling the equipment, the nurse should practice hand hygiene and don appropriate PPE according to infection control guidelines to avoid the...

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Thumb sucking and tongue thrusting are common oral habits requiring intervention.
  • Conventional tongue cribs are used for habit rehabilitation but often cause patient discomfort.
  • Patient discomfort can lead to non-cooperation and treatment failure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe modifications to traditional tongue crib designs.
  • To enhance patient comfort and cooperation during habit correction therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Modifications focused on adjustable crib height and angulation.
  • Design changes aimed at improving patient tolerance in early treatment stages.

Main Results:

  • Adjustable features provide greater patient comfort.
  • Improved comfort leads to better patient cooperation.
  • Enhanced designs facilitate effective habit rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

  • Modified tongue cribs offer a more comfortable and cooperative treatment experience.
  • These innovative designs can improve outcomes for thumb sucking and tongue thrusting rehabilitation.
