Exam 3 Oral Cavity Flashcards
The digestive system is made of:
- oral cavity
- alimentary canal
- accessory glands
Alimentary canal is made up of:
- esophagus
- stomach
- small and large intestines
- rectum and anus
Accessory glands release:
Fluids, enzymes, emulsifying agents
Digestive system accessory glands include:
- salivary glands
- pancreas
- liver
- gall bladder
Function of digestive system
Obtain necessary molecules for maintenance, growth, and energy needs of the body from ingested food
Processes of the digestive system
- ingestion
- mastication
- deglutition (swallowing)
- digestion
- absorption
- elimination
Ingestion of food results in:
- reduction in size
- moistened
____ is formed during ingestion of food
Bolus
Where is digestion started?
In the oral cavity during ingestion of food
The oral cavity has 2 parts, which are:
- vestibule
- oral cavity proper
Components of the oral cavity
- lips
- teeth
- tongue
- hard palate
- soft palate
- cheeks
- uvula
- tonsils
- gums
Define:
mucosa
Mucous tissue lining various body cavities exposed to environment or internal organs
Mucosa is made up of:
- epithelium
- lamina propria
Function of mucosa
- keeps CT moist
- secretes mucus
- prevents entry of pathogens
Mucosa found specifically in the muscularis mucosa
- esophageal mucosa
- gastric mucosa
- intestinal mucosa
Synonym of mucosa
Mucous membrane
Compared to other regular mucosa, GI mucosae contains a layer called:
Muscular mucosae
Muscularis mucosae is a layer of ____
smooth muscle
GI mucosae contains ___ layers
3
Oral mucosa contains ____ epithelium
Stratified squamous
Oral mucous membrane is composed of
Stratified squamous epithelium, lamina propria
There are ___ types of oral mucosa, called:
3; lining mucosa, masticatory mucosa, specialized mucosa
Lining mucosa is found in:
Most of the oral cavity
Masticatory mucosa is found on:
gingiva, hard palate
Specialized mucosa are _____ structures found on:
intraepithelial; taste buds
____ overlies the lamina propria in the oral mucosa
Oral epithelium
Oral epithelium contains structures called:
Rete ridges/rete pegs
Is lining mucosa keratinized?
No - nonkeratinized
Rete ridges/pegs
interdigitation between the oral epithelium and the lamina propria
Is masticatory mucosa keratinized, parakeratinized or nonkeratinized?
keratinized or parakeratinized
Lining mucosa epithelium (B) is:
Non-keratinized stratified squamous
In lining mucosa, the finger-like projections (A) into the epithelium are called:
Papillae (lamina propria)
Non-keratinized epithelium is very:
Thick
4 cell layers of masticatory mucosa
- stratum corneum
- statum granulosum
- stratum spinosum
- stratum basale
Masticatory mucosa: Stratum corneum
Keratinized layer
Masticatory mucosa: Stratum granulosum
Granular layer
Masticatory mucosa: stratum spinosum
Prickle cell layer
Masticatory mucosa: stratum basale
Basal layer
Keratinized masticatory mucosa
Parakeratinized masticatory mucosa
All masticatory mucosa contains:
- stratified squamous epithelium
- prickle cell layer
- basal cell layer
What are the differences between the 2 types of masticatory mucosa?
- Keratinized layer: no nuclei present, granular layer above prickle layer
- Nonkeratinized layer: Nuclei present in keratinized layer, granular layer is less apparent
Gingival epithelium is ___ bound to bone by _____
tightly; dense fibrous connective tissue
Lip epithelium is supported by ____
Looser connective tissue
Mucogingival junction is ___keratinized
Parakeratinized
Oral cavity epithelial transitions:
1. Outside part of lip (skin)=
2. Inside of lip (where it becomes wet)=
3. gingiva=
(jump over the teeth)
4. more gingiva=
5. back to the wet area under the tongue=
6. Surface of tongue
- Orthokeratinized
- Non-keratinized
- Parakeratinized
- Parakeratinized
- non-keratinized
- Partially keratinized
Three surface regions of the lips
- skin aspect
- vermillion zone
- mucous (internal) aspect
The core of the lips is made of:
- skeletal muscle
- fibroelastic connective tissue
The skin aspect of the lips is composed of:
- thin skin (epidermis, dermis)
- sweat glands
- hair follicles
- sebaceous glands
The vermillion zone of the lips is composed of:
- pink region
- thin skin
- no hair follicles or sweat glands
- lots of rete apparatus (pink color)
Mucous aspect of lips is composed of:
- wet nonkeratinized epithelium
- CT has mucous and minor salivary glands
External lip thin skin is made of ____ epithelium
Stratified squamous keratinized
Where is the vermillion zone located?
transition from dry to wet epithelium
