How many types of oral mucosa are there?
Three: Masticatory Mucosa, Lining Mucosa, Specialized Mucosa
Where is the Masticatory Mucosa found?
Found on the Gingiva and Hard Palate

Keratinized Stratified Squamous
Parakeratinized Stratified Squamous
What does the superficial cells of parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium keep?
Keeps their NUCLEI
How many layers of the Lamina Propria (LP) are in the Masticatory Mucosa?
2:
Papillary Layer
Reticular Layer
What is the Papillary Layer made of and what does it have in it?
Made of: Thick loose CT
Has: BV (blood vessels), Nerves, Sensory receptors, ans some Meissner’s corpuscles
What is the Reticular Layer made of?
More dense CT
Where is the the Lining mucosa found?
Found on the Soft Palate, Underside of Tongue, Floor of Mouth, Cheeks, and Lips
What is the Surface Epithelium for the Lining Mucosa?
Generally: Nonkeratinized Stratified Squamous
Occasionally: Parakeratinized Stratified Squamous
Where is the surface epithelium found on the Lining Mucosa? And what type of surface epithelium is it?
Lips, Vermillion border (reddish part)
Keratinized Stratified Squamous
What areas of the the surface epithelium is thicker?
The non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is thicken than the areas of keratinized stratified epithelium
What is the LP like in the Lining Mucosa?
loose CT with blood vessels and nerves
What is the Submucosa like in the Lining Mucosa?
More Dense CT
Where is the Submucosa found in the Lining Mucosa?
found in most places
can have minor salivary glands, sebaceous glands (corner of mouth), larger blood vessels and nerves too
Where is the Specialized Mucosa found?
Found on dorsal surface of tongue
What is the Surface Epithelium for the Specialized Mucosa?
Keratinized Stratified Squamous on Filiform Papillae
Stratified Squamous on all other Papillae
What are the general functions of the Specialized Mucosa?
Move food
Taste buds
What type of mucosa is on the tongue?
thicker dorsally, thinner and smoother posteriorly
What type of surface epithelium is on the tongue?
Specialized epithelium
what does the surface epithelium include on the tongue?
filiform, fungiform, foliate, vallate (circumcallate) Papillae
What are small salivary von Ebner glands associated with?
Vallate Papillae
What is the function of the Vallate Papillae?
Produce serous fluid to CLEANSE THE TASTE BUDS on these papillae
What papillae do not have taste buds associated with them?
filiform papilae
What is the LP like on the tongue?
Loose CT; adipose possible
Submucosa of the tongue is considered?
present on the tongue; adipose possible
What is contained in the Submucosa on the tongue?
contains LINGUAL salivary glands; these produce the same products as the major salivary glands
What are the tongue muscles considered?
Intrinsic Tongue muscles; are skeletal muscles
What is the function of the intrinsic tongue muscles?
change the shape of the tongue
What are the four alterating muscles? how are the arranged?
Superior longitudinal muscle
Vertical muscle alternating with Tranverse Muscles
Inferior longitudinal muscles
arrangmetn from dorsal to posterior within the tongue
What is the tooth formation structure made of?
Cells and tissues
Name the layers from outside to inside of a developing tooth before eruption through the gingiva.
Ameloblast Enamel Dentin Predentin Odontoblast Dental Papilla
What is a ameloblast?
Polarized columnar cells
lose following tooth eruption
What is the function of a ameoloblast?
produces enamel
What is the hardest substance in the body that is 2mm thick?
Enamel
What is enamel made of?
interlinked enamel rods (96% hydroxyapatite)
What is harder then bone?
Dentin
What does Dentin contain?
contains thin dentinal tubules containing nerves and cell processes of Odontoid blast
What is the percentage of hyrdroxyapatite in Dentin?
70%
What is the percursor to dentin before mineralization?
Predentin
What is Odontoblast made of?
Columnar cells lining pulp cavity
What survives in adults?
Odontoblasts
What is the function of Odontoblast?
repair and produce dentin
also maintains dentin
What is dental papilla or dental pulp made of?
CT with many blood vessels and nerves
(extensive inflammation)
Meloblast?
What are the three types of salivary glands?
