In the human body, the buccal cavity is commonly known as what?
Buccal fat extraction Buccal fat extraction Buccal fat pad extraction is a plastic surgery procedure for reducing prominent cheeks, by the proportional removal of buccal fat-pad tissue. The reduction of buccal fat pads usually is performed upon a patient either under conscious sedation or under general anaesthesia. The typical approach for removing the buccal fat pad is through an incision in the mouth, towards the back of the buccal cavity, near the second upper molar; and another incision is made through the buccinator muscle, which incisions produce an opening for access to the buccal fat pads. Afterwards, the surgeon applies manual pressure to
Buccal cirri The buccal cirri surround the buccal cavity in a ring like structure. They are thought to have chemoreceptors and mechanoreceptors that help detect food particles in the passing water stream. Buccal cirri are found in organisms in the group called Amphioxus, which are commonly known as Lancelets. These organisms are in the kingdom Animalia, the phylum Chordata, the class Leptocardii, and the order Amphioxiformes. Lancelets are classified in the taxonomic group cephalochordates. There are thirty two different species of Lancelets in the order of Amphioxiformes. Lancelets feed through a process of filter feeding using buccal cirri, velar tentacles, velum, wheel
