Labial Branches

In the study, I set out to study the labial branches. The relevance of their research is due to the complexity of their structure, variety of forms and difficulties associated with the formation of such complex morphofunctional structures as speech organs. Thus, the purpose of this course research is to study the morphology of the human labial branches.

As a result of scientific research, it was found that the labial branches have a rather complex structure, since they consist of numerous muscles, nerve endings and vessels that allow the movement of the lip. The labial branches are necessary for the formation of sound speech, which is carried out through the connection of the organs of articulation and the formation of sounds due to movements in the oral cavity. They are also necessary to perform the functions of chewing, sucking, generating certain sound impulses, and protecting the front of the tongue. In addition, they are necessary to normalize the functioning of chewing reflexes, help relax the face, and reduce some wrinkles under the eyes. To achieve this goal, theoretical studies were carried out and literature sources on this topic were analyzed. I studied the structure of the labial branches, their locations, possible anomalies, effects on health, origin, forms, varieties and functions. We also identified potential threats and risks of exposure to the labial branches during dental procedures.

Thus, the labial branches are an important part of the human body, playing a significant role in the performance of speech functions, coordination of jaw movements and the mass of the entire skull, and ultimately the entire head. Their formation occurs even at the stage of intrauterine development due to the connection of derivatives of the mesoderm of the pharyngeal protrusion - the mesenchyme of the oral fossa of the pharynx and the myotomes of the pharyngeal arch formed by the base of the first branchial arch. In a mature state, the structure of the labial branch is formed, but adjustment is possible with surgical techniques that can affect facial expressions, human speech, and chewing ability.
