17
Q

the part of the tooth we see is called what?

A

the crown

18
Q

the root is embedded in the bone of the jaw and the region in between the root and the crown is the what?

A

the neck

19
Q

where is the most vulnerable portion of the tooth?

A

the neck- no enamel or cementum and dentinal tubules expose pulp cavity

20
Q

how many teeth do we have?

A

32 (2, 1, 2, 3- 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, 3 molars on each side, top and bottom)

21
Q

describe the lingual epithelium

A

stratified squamous epithelium that is slightly karitinized

22
Q

what are the 3 papilla of the tongue and what is the function of papilla?

A
  1. circumvallate (majority at dorsum of tongue- highly concentrated here)
  2. filiform papillae (rough texture of tongue)
  3. fungiform papillae

carry taste buds on their upper surface

23
Q

what nerves contribute to sensation in the tongue?

A
  1. trigeminal (mandibular branch) (ant. 2/3)

2. glossopharyngeal (post. 1/3)

24
Q

what nerves contribute to taste in the tongue?

A
  1. facial (ant. 2/3)

2. glossopharyngeal (post 1/3)

25
Q

what is the main artery supplying the tongue?

A

Lingual artery

26
Q

what chemical triggers umami receptors?

A

Glutamate (msg, mushrooms, meat collagen, soy)

27
Q

how many pairs of Salivary glands do we have? and where are they?

A
  1. Parotid gland (lat. to masseter, duct penetrates cheek by upper second molar)
  2. submandibular (inf. to mandible, have ducts inferiolateral to tongue)
  3. sublingual (inf. to tongue, ducts all along inferior tongue)
28
Q

This wraps around the mylohyoid and ducts travel toward lingual frenulum?

A

submandibular gland

29
Q

what is a bolus?

A

the amount of food you swallow

30
Q

we have skeletal muscles in the pharynx. True or false?

A

True

31
Q

once we get below the cricoid cartilage, we enter the esophagus. True or false?

A

True

32
Q

what are the 4 layers of the digestive system wall

A
  1. Mucosa
  2. Submucosa
  3. Muscularis
  4. Adventitia/Serosa
33
Q

what are the three layers of the mucosa?

A
  1. Epithelium
  2. Lamina Propria
  3. Muscularis mucosa
34
Q

what is found in the submucosa and what is it made of (2 things)? (basic plan)

A
  1. gland
  2. nerve plexus
  • made of loose CT
35
Q

what are the characteristics of the mucosa layer (GI Tract)?

A
  • 3 layers (epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosa)
  • comes in contact with chyme
  • lymphocytes found in lamina propria (blood vessels)
  • absorptive
  • Mucus layer so it contains goblet cells
  • Villus/microvilli move the chyme around for absorption
36
Q

Crypts are projections into the lamina propria in what parts of the GI tract?

A
  • Small intestine

- Large intestine

37
Q

Structures found in the stomach that resemble crypts are called What?

A

-Gastric Pits -or- Glands

38
Q

What are the characteristics of the muscularis layer?

A
  • circular smooth muscle
  • longitudinal smooth muscle
  • nerve plexus (Myenteric plexus)
39
Q

Characteristics of the Serousa

A

Serosa

  • coating of Loose CT
  • may have simple squamous epithelium (Serous Membrane- Visceral Peritonium)
  • secrete serous fluid that provides lubrication to reduce friction.
40
Q

Difference btwn adventitia and serous?

A

Adventitia w/ serous membrane = Serosa
