Inside the dental arches, the palate borders dorsally and the [[:Category:Teeth - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]], gums and jaw margins laterally. The [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] margins ventrally. The size can be altered by raising or lowering the [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] and the floor of the oral cavity when the mouth is closed.

==Origin and Innervation==
The oral cavity originates from ectoderm. It is innervated by the '''trigeminal nerve''' ([[Cranial Nerves - Anatomy & Physiology|CN V]]).
