510-7 Flashcards
foramen cecum
pit in the back of the tongue that is the remnant of the thyroid gland invagination
sulcus terminalis
v shaped depression that separates the body and root of the tongue
body of the tongue
anterior 2/3 of the tongue that developed from the 1st arch
root of the tongue
posterior 1/3 of the tongue that developed from the 3rd arch
2 types of tongue muscles
- ) external- one attachment outside of the tongue
2. ) internal- longitudinal, transverse, vertical
nerve that controls the motor control of the tongue
7 hypoglossal
4 types of tongue papilla
- ) circumvallate
- ) foliate
- ) filiform
- ) fungiform
geographic tongue
regional loss of papillae
filiform papillae
keratinized, no taste buds, point backwards
hairy tongue
overgrown papillae due to the accumulation of keratinized tissue
von ebner’s gland
serous glands in the tongue found at the base of foliate and vallate papillae
circumvallate papilla
parakeratinized, have taste buds in the sides, von ebners glands in the base of clefts
foliate papillae
vertical folds in the side of the tongue, non keratinized, von ebners glands in the base of the cleft, taste buds on the sides
fungiform
taste buds at the top, keratinized thin epithelia, extensive connective tissue (appear red)
taste bud
columnar support and sensory cells that are replaced by stem cell basal cells. each sensory cell is innervated. microvilli at the tips of columnar cells. span the entire epithelium. pale staining.
tongue innervation
#5: basic sensory info #7: taste buds in body of tongue #9 and #10: control root of tongue
Taste Cell
taste molecule binds to receptor in microvilli of taste cell which depolarizes the cell and leads to the release of vesicles onto neurons
