ALIMENTARY Flashcards
function of alimentary mucosa
- secretion
- absorption
- barrier
- protection
structures of the oral cavity
mouth and its structures
- vestibule
- tongue
- teeth
- salivary glands
- tonsils
how many layers is alimentary tract divided into
four
list the layers of the alimentary tract
- mucosa
- submucosa
- muscularis externa
- adventitia or serosa
types of mucosa in the oral cavity
- lining mucosa
- masticatory mucosa
- specialised mucosawha
what is lining mucosa consisting of
- lips, cheeks, soft palate,, floor of mouth
what is masticatory mucosa consisting of
- hard palate, gingiva
what is specialised mucosa consisting of
- sensation of taste - tongue
masticatory mucosa epithelium
keratinised orthokeratinised stratified squamous epithelium
cells of the hard palate
- ortho and parakeratinised cells
in parakeratinised is nuclei present
no it is lost but are highly pyknotic (highly condensed)
purpose of deep proprial papillae in hard palate
to protect from frictional + shearing stress
stress level in lining mucosa
little mechanicals tress
epithelium of lining mucosa
non-keratinised stratified squamous epithelium
is proprial papillae deep or shallow in lining mucosa
shallow
name this tissuee
soft palate
name
lip
what does the lip eithelium transition from and to
thin keratinised to parakeratinised
what happens to the stratum granulosum in the lip
disappear
list the specialised mucosa
lingual papillae and associated taste buds
where does the lingual papillae cover the tongue
dorsal surface
what is found in the v shaped depression
circumvallate
what does sulcus terminalte separate tongue into
anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3
direction of lingual muuscles
striated - allow flexibility and precision of movement - swallowing and speech
list the four types of papillae
filiform
fungiform
foliate
circumvallate
which papillae does not have a taste bud
