exam 3: oral mucous membrane Flashcards
top to bottom oral mucous membrane layers: (of the epithelial layer)
keratin/corneum
granular/granulosum
spinous/spinosum
basal/basale
both of these aid in attachment
epithelial rete pegs and
connective tissue papilla
characteristics of epithelium:
1
2
3
4
5
- rests on basement membrane
- 1 or more specialized intercellular attachments: desmosomes, tonofilaments
- avascular (all nutrients from dermis)
- high degree of cellularity and low vol of ECM
- ~cellular polarity (apical, basal, and lateral borders)
refers to normal keratin formation with clinically normal presentation
orthokeratosis
retention of pyknotic nuclei in the stratum corneum (nuclei still present)
parakeratosis
abnormal thickening of the stratum corneum.
may exhibit aberrant patterns of keratinization
hyperkeratosis
abnormal keratinization below the level of the stratum corneum
(keratinization within the stratum granulosum and or stratum spinosum
dyskeratosis
refers to hyperplasia of the epithelial layers (increase in the number of the cells)
acanthosis
loss of intercellular attachments between epithelial cells (keratinocytes)
acantholysis
REVERSIBLE change in which one adult cell type is replaced by another
(transition of columnar to squamous epithelium in the respiratory tract as a response to smoking)
metaplasia
refers to a disorder but non-neoplastic growth of tissue including the epithelial layer
characterized by phenomorphism, hyperchromastim, and loss of normal spatial orientation
dysplasia
(nonkeratinocytes in oral epithelium)
dendritic morphology (long processes)
located in the BASAL cell layer
-sysnthesis of melanin pigment granules (melanosomes)
melanocyte
dendritic morphology
-located in the stratum SPINOSUM
-functions as an antigen trap on epithelial and transgers antigen information to CD4 lymphoyctes
langerhan cells
rounded morphology
-located in the BASAL cell layer
-contains characteristics “dense core” granules
-possiblh has tactile sensory functions
merkel’s cell
rounded morphology
-found in basal and spinous cell layers
-immune surveillance and antigen message processing
-associated with inflammation- both humoral and cellular response
lymphocytes
organization of the basement membrane:
lucida
densa
(both are parent of basal lamina)
reticularis
composition of the basal lamina.
lamina lucida:
-bullous pemphigoid antigen
-type Vll collagen
(BMG-1
laminin-1, -5, -6 and entactin)
composition of the basal lamina.
lamina densa:
type IV collagen
type Vll collagen
(laminin-1, BMG-1, fibronectin, integrins)
lamina reticularis composition:
reticulin connective tissue
type I collagen
type III collagen
elastin connective tissue
