9 Digestive System Oral Cavity Flashcards
What are the 3 major components of the mucosa layer?
epithelium
lamina propria
muscularis mucosa
What mucosa layer has blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and can contain glands and MALT?
Lamina propria [note the submucosa layer also contains these same things]
What is the difference between stratified squamous and simple columnar epithelium in terms of function?
one is protective and the other is absorptive
Where is the muscular is mucosa absent in the digestive tract?
oral cavity and the anal canal
What is the connective tissue classification of lamina propria?
loose connective tissue
what is the classification of the CT found in submucosa?
dense irregular
What is found in the submucosa and contains the SNA and paraSNA innervations for the muscular is mucous, neuroendocrine cells and enzyme secreting cells?
Meissner’s plexus
What disease is when sections of the distal colon lack meissners and auerbach’s plexus? what does it effect?
hirschprungs
–smooth muscle in the affected region of bowel cannot relax—>constipation and megacolon
What are the layers of the muscular is extern?
- inner circular layer

- Outer longitudinal
What is the adventitia largely made from?
loose irregular connective tissue
When does the GI system have serosa?
when it is covered by a peritoneal mesothelium [retroperitoneal portions don’t have this]

lining mucosa– floor of mouth, lateral tongue, soft palate
What is aphthous stomatitis?
canker sores—ONLY IN LINING MUCOSA

fungiform
What tongue papillae, 7-12 papillae in front of terminal sulcus, contain taste buds, contain von Ebner glands to clear old taste?
circumvallate
What tongue papillae is poorly developed in humans, contain taste buds, located in posterior-lateral surface of tongue?
Foliate
