01 Oral Anatomy Flashcards
What is the junction between the skin of the face and mucous membrane of the mouth called?
Vermilion Border
What type of epithelium is found at the Vermilion Border?
Stratified Squamous Epithelium
What is the protein called that is found at the vermilion boarder and how is it different than Keratin?
Eleidin
More transparent than Keratin
What is the name of the ectopic sebaceous glands found at the vermilion border of the corners of the mouth and laterally in the cheeks opposite the molar teeth?
Fordyce Granules
Name the Types of Oral Mucosa and %’age of total each make up?
Masticatory Mucosa: 25%
Lining Mucosa: 60%
Specialized Mucosa: 15%
Which type of mucosa consists of Free, attached, and interdental gingiva and the hard palate?
Masticatory Mucosa
Which Mucosa is the primary mucosa to be in contact with food during mastication?
Masticatory Mucosa
Which mucosa is usually keratinized/Parakeratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium?
Masticatory Mucosa
Which mucosa covers the floor of the mouth, ventral aspect of tongue, alveolar mucosa, cheeks, lips and soft palate?
Lining Mucosa
Which mucosa has no function in mastication and therefore has minimal attrition, usually Non-keratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium; soft and pliable?
Lining Mucosa
Which mucosa covers the dorsal aspect of the tongue?
Specialized Mucosa
Which mucosa is composed of cornified/non-cornified epithelial papillae?
Specialized Mucosa
Which mucosa has a Lamina Propria that is loose connective tissue w/collagen bundles, Mucous and Serous Glands, and Fordyce Spots?
Lining Mucosa
Which mucosa has a Variable Lamina Propria?
Masticatory Mucosa
Which gingiva is Not Stippled and Keratinized Stratified Squamous?
Free Gingiva
Which gingiva is Stippled and Keratinized Stratified Squamous?
Attached Gingiva
What binds the Free Gingiva on the inner margin and separates it from the tooth?
Gingival Sulcus
What is the Free Gingiva bound to on its outer margin and apical margin?
Outer Margin: Oral Cavity
Apically: Free Gingival Groove
Attached Gingiva is separated from the alveolar mucosa by what?
Mucogingival junction (Groove)
The Attached Gingiva is attached to the tooth by what?
Junctional epithelium (at the neck of the tooth)
Alveolar Mucosa which is connected to the alveolar bone of the jaw is made up of what type of epithelium?
Non-Keratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Name the three parts of the tongue and the two surfaces?
3 Parts -Oral (Anterior 2/3) -Pharyngeal (Posterior 1/3) -Root (Base) 2 Surfaces -Dorsal Surface -Ventral Surface
What is made up of striated muscles covered w/mucous membrane and divided into right and left halves by a median septum?
Tongue
What is significant of the Anterior two-thirds of the tongue?
Rough Mucosa w/ 4 types of papillae
name the 4 different types of papillae?
Filliform
Fungiform
Vallate
Foliate
The posterior one-third has no papillae but the surface is nodular for what reason?
Underlying Lymphatic Nodules
Lingual Tonsils
What are the two types of muscle the tongue is composed of?
Intrinsic
Extrinsic
Which type of tongue muscle has no bony attachment, confined to the tongue, and consists of longitudinal, transverse, vertical fibers?
Intrinsic Muscles
What is the function of the Intrinsic Muscle of the tongue?
Alter the shape of the tongue
What muscles are included in the Extrinsic Muscles?
Palatoglossus
Genioglossus
Hyoglossus
Styloglossus
