Chapter 2⃣ Flashcards
Epithelium of the oral mucosa originates partly from the..
Ectoderm
Endoderm
Lined with an UNINTERRUPTED MUCOUS MEMBRANE
Oral cavity
Divided by the alveolar processes and the dental arches of the maxilla and mandible
Oral cavity
2 spaces in the oral cavity
Vestibule
Oral cavity proper
Boundaries of vestibule: LABIALLY
Mucosa of lips
Boundaries of vestibule: BUCALLY
Mucosa of cheeks
Boundaries of vestibule: ORALLY
Alveolar mucosa
Gingiva
Facial surfaces of teeth
Boundaries of oral cavity proper: ANT & LAT
Oral surfaces of teeth
Boundaries of oral cavity proper: CRANIALLY
Mucosa of hard and soft palate
Boundaries of oral cavity proper: INFERIORLY/CAUDALLY
Mucosa of tongue
Floor of mouth
Boundaries of oral cavity proper: POSTERIOLATERALLY
Ant pillar of the fauces
Tonsils
8 paraoral tissues
Lips Cheeks Tongue Teeth Tonsils Salivary glands Hard and soft palate Floor of the mouth
3 regions of the tongue
Tip
Body
Base
Anterior 2/3 of tongue
Tip and body
Posterior 1/3
Base
Body and base
Terminal sulcus
Apex of terminal sulcus
Marks the FORAMEN ORIFICE of the thyroglossal duct
Foramen cecum
Divides the long axis of the dorsal mucosa of the tip and body of the tongue into equal sized halves
Median sulcus
Structures in the hard and soft palate
Incisive papilla Median palatine raphe Palatine rugae Fovea palatinae Uvula
Ant pillar of fauces
Palatoglossal arch
Post pillar of fauces
Palatopharyngeal
Between ant and post pillar of fauces
Palatine tonsils
Found at the sides of the tongue or in the pharyngeal folds
Palatine or FAUCIAL tonsils
It is referred to as SPECIALIZED MUCOSA
Mediates sensations of touch temp and taste
Mucosa of the dorsum of the tongue
External muscles extending into the tongue
Genioglosssus
Hyoglossus
Palatoglossus
Styloglossus
Consists of 4 types of papillae
Dorsum of the tongue
Slender, threadlike keratinized extensions that covers ant part and gives VELVETY appearance
Filiform
Provides tactile sensation
Filiform
Ability to know that there is something on the tongue (filiform)
Tactile sensation
They have remarkable capability for SPATIAL PERCEPTION like transmitting pressure and tensions
Filiform
Most numerous papillae
Fingerlike appearance
Filiform
3 types of nerve endings
Free nerve endings
Complex end organs
Epithelial nerve endings
Most common type of nerve endings
Complex end organs
No taste function
Filiform
Filiform: grows very long..
Hairy tongue
Filiform: are lost
Glossitis
FILIFORM
Ant 2/3
Thin conical
NON
Smooth round or mushroom structure that are less numerous than the filiform
Fungiform
FUNGIFORM
Ant 2/3
Mushroom
Tip- sweet
Lateral- salty
They are 8-15 BILATERAL RIDGES OF MUCOSA
located at POSTERIOR edge of the body of the tongue
Foliate
They lie PARALLEL to each other and are separated by deep folds
Foliate
Few taste buds @ birth
Foliate
FOLIATE
Posterior
Leaf like
Sour
Largest papillae
Least in number
Circumvallate
8-10 papillae at the ant edge of terminal sulcus
Circumvallate
This row divides the ant 2/3 of the tongue from post 1/3
Circumvallate
The outer surface and folds of these papillae are covered by ORTHOKERATINIZEd epi
Circumvallate
Ducts of wc opens at the bottom of epithelial folds in the depths of lamina propria
Ebners glands
A special type of receptor whose function is to detect the TASTE OF WATER
Circumvallate
CIRCUMVALLATE
Ant to terminal sulcus
Mushroom
Bitter
Barrel shaped or hazel nuts shaped structures with ovoid epithelial cells
Taste buds
It is a barrel shaped structure composed of 30 to 100 spindle shaped cells at their bases
Taste buds
A taste pit that communicates with the surface through a small opening
Taste pore
Usually 10-14 in each taste bud
Type 1
4 cell populations:
Type 1
Type 2
Type 3
Type 4
- taste cells or dark cells
- Light cells/ supporting / sustentacular
- Intermediate cells
- Basal cells / reserve cells
Have a cytoplasmic process that extends far into the taste pore and ends in numerous long, fingerlike microvilli
Type 1
Taste cells or dark cells
Rich in heterochromatin
Type 1
Function of type1 cells
Synthesis and secretion of pore substance
Are much less numerous but more VOLUMINOUS than dark cells
Type 2
Low in heterochromatin
Type 2
Light cells
Function unknown
Support the other cells
Type 2
Supporting cells
Sustentacular cells
Light cells
The least numerous cell population of taste buds
Type 3
Surrounded by taste cells or type 1 cells
Type 3
