Oral Sensation - Coggle Diagram

- - - - Proprioception: The sense of the body's position and movement.
      - Types of Proprioceptors:
      - Muscle Spindles: Detect muscle length and stretch speed.
      - Golgi Tendon Organs: Sense muscle tension during contraction.
      - Proprioceptive Pathways: Neural routes conveying proprioceptive information to the brain for interpretation and spatial awareness.
  - - - Types of Pain:
      - Nociceptive Pain: From tissue damage or injury.
      - Neuropathic Pain: Nerve damage-related pain.
      - Indicators of Pain: Hyperalgesia (exaggerated responses) and allodynia (pain from non-painful stimuli) are common indicators.
  - - - Thermoregulation Process: The body's mechanisms to maintain core temperature within a certain range, often managed by the hypothalamus in the brain.
      - Body's Response to Temperature Changes:
      - Sweating: To cool down.
      - Shivering: To generate heat.
- - - - Superior Alveolar Nerve: Innervates the upper teeth and their supporting structures in the maxilla.
      - Middle Meningeal Nerve: Provides sensory innervation to the dura mater in the middle cranial fossa.
      - Infraorbital Nerve: Supplies sensation to the lower eyelid, lateral nose, upper lip, and gums of the upper jaw.
      - Zygomatic Nerve: Innervates a significant portion of the lateral lower eyelid.
      - Inferior Palpebral Nerve: Sensory supply to the inferior eyelid and conjunctiva.
      - Superior Labial Nerve: Provides sensation to the skin of the upper lip and the inner lining of the mouth.
      - Pharyngeal Nerve: Innervates the superior, middle, and inferior pharyngeal constrictors.
      - Greater and Lesser Palatine Nerves: Greater palatine nerve supplies the hard palate; lesser palatine nerve serves the soft palate.
      - Nasopalatine Nerve: Innervates the hard palate.
  - - - Innervation of lower teeth and gums: Supplies sensory fibers to the lower teeth and their supporting structures in the mandible.
      - Buccal Nerve: Provides sensation to the cheek and buccal mucosa.
      - Lingual Nerve: Innervates the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, responsible for taste and general sensation.
