Takeaways

• 👄 The oral cavity is the starting point of the digestive tract and is involved in chewing and verbal communication.
• 🦷 The mouth is divided into two main parts: the vestibule and the oral cavity proper.
• 👅 The vestibule is the area outside the teeth and gums, bounded by the lips and cheeks.
• 🔗 The lips are connected to the gums by frenula, which help support and limit the movement of the lips.
• 🦠 The vestibule is technically not part of the oral cavity proper.
• 🦷 The oral cavity proper is the second region of the mouth, enclosed by teeth, gums, and the palate.
• 👃 The back boundary of the oral cavity is marked by the soft palate and tonsils, leading into the pharynx.
• 👅 The tongue is a key structure within the oral cavity proper, responsible for shaping sounds for communication.
• 🧠 The tongue can be divided into different sections, with the body of the tongue being involved in forming many sounds.
