4 Regional Histology of Oral Mucosa Flashcards
what separates the oral (anterior 2/3) and oropharyngeal (posterior 1/3) cavities
the sulcus terminalis (V-shaped goove) and palatoglossal fold/arch
what is the function of the tongue
Articulation of speech, manipulating food into the oropharynx during deglutition, involved with mastication and taste
what are the 3 parts of the tongue
- Root (posterior 1/3)
- Body (anterior 2/3, mobile)
- Apex (anterior 2/3, mobile)
what part of the tongue is mobile
the anterior 2/3
T/F
the dorsal surface of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue comes from ECTOderm
TRUE
T/F
the ventral surface of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue comes from ECTOderm
FALSE
ENDODERM!! (as is the dorsal surface of the oropharyngeal region posterior 1/3 of the tongue too)
which surface of tongue faces palate
dorsal
ventral faces floor of mouth
is specialized mucosa on the dorsal or ventral surface of the ant 2/3 of tongue
dorsal. SSK with lingual papilla
what type of mucosa does the ventral surface of the ant 2/3 of tongue have
LINING mucosa - very think SSNK and NO taste buds.
can see deep lingual vein
what type of glands are by the apex of tongue
MIXED minor salivary glands
what is a frenulum
mucosal fold connecting tongue to floor of mouth
what type of epi is the dorsal surface of the posterior 1/3 of tongue
SSNK - cobblestone appearance
what GL is the dorsal surface of the post 1/3 of tongue
ENDO
what two regions of the tongue have lining mucosa, endoderm GL, and SSNK
ventral surface of ANT 2/3 and dorsal surface of POST 1/3
what region of the tongue has SSK, ECTO GL, and Specialized mucosa with lingual papilla
dorsal surface of ANT 2/3
where can you find lingual papillae
dorsum of ant 2/3 tongue
what are lingual papillae
- Mucosal irregularities and elevations
- Specialized mucosa
- Associated with taste buds
what is the origin of the thyroid gland
foramen cecum – anything ant to it is considered the ant 2/3 of tongue
4 types of papillae
filiform
fungiform
circumvallate
foliate
what papillae are arranged in V-shaped rows parallel to sulcus terminalis
Filiform
what papillae are observe as pink or red spots, scattered among filiform papillae; more numerous at apex of tongue
fungiform
what papillae are v shaped arranged and directly anterior to sulcus terminalis
circumvallate
what papillae are Transverse parallel ridges anterior lateral to circumvallate papillae (organized at right angle to long axis of tongue)
foliate
what papillae are on the side of the tongue
foliate
