What’s Oral Cavity?
The oral cavity is the beginning of the digestive system and is responsible for various functions, including ingestion, taste sensation, and speech. It is a complex structure composed of the lips, teeth, tongue, hard palate, soft palate, uvula, and tonsils. These structures work together to help with chewing, swallowing, and speaking, as well as provide a protective barrier for the entrance of the digestive and respiratory systems.
