1 - Anatomy and Development Flashcards
3 zones of epithelium in the periodontium
Oral
Sulcular
Junctional
Layers of SSE
Basale
Spinosum
Granulosum
Corneum
Basale characteristics
- Cuboidal cells
- Many mitochondria and organelles
- Low MW keratin proteins
- Mitosis taking place
Spinosum characteristics
- Polyhedral shape
- High MW keratin
- Begin to decrease # of organelles as you go
____ bodies or ____ begin to form in the stratum spinosum.
What are they?
Odland bodies or keratinosomes
Lysosomes filled with acid phosphatase that are responsible for breakdown of cellular organelles
Granulosum characteristics
- Cells flatten out
- Packed with keratohyaline granules (high MW keratins) and tonofilaments
Stratum granulosum is not present where?
Non-KZ epithelium aka alveolar mucosa
Stratum corneum characteristics
- Flattened cells
- Filled w/ tonofilaments and fillagrin
- Keratohyaline granules disappear
Parakeratinized epithelium has what?
Pyknotic nuclei (small, dark)
Orthokeratinized epithelium has what?
No nuclei
____ radiate in brush-like fashion from the attachment plaques out into the cytoplasm of the two adjacent cells
Tonofilaments
What are the 3 clear cells?
Langerhans
Melanocytes
Merkel cells
Where are Langerhans cells? What type of cell are they? What is their purpose?
Spinous layer
Dendritic cell
Phagocytize bacteria and present antigens
What type of cell is a melanocyte? Where are they found? What is their purpose?
Dendritic cell
Basal and spinous layer
Synthesize melanin and transfer to adjacent basal cells
Purpose of Merkel cells?
Tactile perception
Most of oral epithelium is _____keratinized
Parakeratinized
Turnover rate of oral epithelium?
6-12 days
As keratinization increase, glycogen content ____
Decreases
Sulcular epithelium has no ____ and few _____
Stratum granulosum or corneum
Rete pegs
Turnover rate of JE?
1-6 days
JE attaches to tooth via _____ and CT via ____
Internal basal lamina w/ HD
External basal lamina w/ D
2 layers of CT
Papillary (near rete pegs)
Reticular
Is papillary or reticular layer more dense?
Reticular
Anatomy of basement membrane?
Name at EM level?
Lamina lucida next to epithelial cells
Lamina densa next to CT
What is LL and LD made of?
LL - laminin
LD - type IV collagen
How is the basement membrane anchored to CT?
Collagen fibers made of type VII collagen come from the CT and anchor into the type IV collagen of the LD
Describe the blood supply of the periodontium
Blood comes from superior and inferior alveolar arteries into the:
- PDL
- Alveolar bone
- Surface of periodontium
2 types of bone + description
Woven bone - calcified collagen fibers, immature
Lamellar - mature, layers of bone
