The oral cavity is the first section of the alimentary tract that recieves food. It provides the digestive functions of prehension, [[Mastication|mastication]] and insalivation and also plays a role in the [[Cardiorespiratory System - Anatomy & Physiology|respiratory system]] through oral breathing when the nasopharynx is impaired.

The oral cavity or mouth, consists of accessory structures (the [[Oral Cavity - Salivary Glands - Anatomy & Physiology|salivary glands]]), projecting structures (the [[Tooth Anatomy - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] and [[Oral Cavity - Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]]) and the walls enclosing the oral cavity.
