The mouth, or oral cavity, consists of several key structures, including the lips, cheeks, gums, teeth, tongue, and palate (which is divided into the hard and soft palate). The teeth are essential for chewing food, while the tongue aids in taste, swallowing, and speech. Salivary glands located in and around the mouth produce saliva, which helps in digestion and maintaining oral hygiene. The mouth serves as the entry point for food and plays a crucial role in the digestive process.
