1/9 Lecture Flashcards
movable soft tissue:
soft palate, l and B mucosa, tongue, floor of mouth
Oral mucosa comprises;
CT, keratinized, para, and nonk SSE
3 types of oral mucosa:
lining, specialized, masticatory
Cell type of oral mucosa:
SSE, polygonal, highly approximated
Layers of keratinized:
basal, spinosum, granulosum, corneum
Layers of non-k
basal, spinosum, intermedium, suprficale
What are the 2 layers below basale?
BM, dermis
Layer closest to CT:
basale
Where are tissues k?
wherever we have friction, barrier function
Main cell type in epi of oral mucosa;
keratinocyte
Final stage of epi oral mucosa differentiation:
keratinized
Keratinocytes form:
functional barrier
Nucleus of keratinocyte:
pyknotic
Layer w keratohyaline:
Granular
Shape of cells of basale:
cuboidal, low clumnar
Layers to basale:
1 cell thick
basale is interface of:
epi and LP
TF? Basale is constantly renewed
T.
Shape of nucleus in basale:
oval, R angle to plane of epi/CT junction
Layers of spinosum:
4-5, superficial layer flattened
TF? Cells of spinosum do not undergo mitosis.
F. few mitoses
Origin of new epi:
spinosum
TF? spinosum cells are connected via hemi-desmosomes.
F. desmosomes
These can be seen in upper layer of spinosum:
membrane-coating granules
Function of membrane-coating granules:
unknown
