Components

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