EXAM 3 Starts: Oral Cavity and Tooth development- Part 1 Flashcards
what is the oral cavity bound with superiorly
hard and soft palate
what is the oral cavity bound by inferiorly
tongue and floor
what is the oral cavity bound by anterior and laterally
teeth
what is the oral cavity bound by posteriorly
oropharynx
what is the vestibule
area enclosed between lips and teeth
what is the vermillion border
transitional zone between external haired skin and internal oral mucosa
what is the color of the lips derived from
highly vascular dermis and thin overlying keratinized epidermis
what glands do lips lack
sweat and sebaceous glands
why are lips highly sensitive
lots of sensory innervation
what is the function of the oral cavity
- ingestion, fragmentation, and moistening of food
-speech, facial expression, sensory perception and respiration
what is mastication
cutting, chewing, grinding of food by occlusal surfaces of teeth
what is mastication assisted by
lips, tongue, and salivary glands that form a bolus for swallowing
what is another word for swallowing
deglutition
what are the three types of oral mucosae
-lining mucosa
-masticatory mucosa
- specialized mucosa
describe the lining mucosa and where its found
non-keratinized mucosa found on inner cheeks, floor of mouth inferior surface of tongue and soft palate
what does the lining mucosa lack
stratum corneum
where is the masticatory mucosa
in areas of high abrasion such as gingiva and hard palate
what type of epithelium lines the masticatory mucosa
keratinized or parakeratinized
where is specialized mucosa located and what type of epithelium
restricted to dorsal surface of the tongue, keratinized
describe the tongue
muscular organ composed of interlacing skeletal muscle fibers
what is function of the tongue
manipulation of food and sensation of taste
what glands are on the tongue and where
accessory salivary glands within lamina propria and between muscle layers
what cranial nerves innervate the tongue and what are their functions
-5 - general sensation anterior to sulcus terminalis
-7 -taste
-9- general sensation and taste posterior to sulcus terminalis
-10 - taste, motor
-12- motor
what is the tongue supported by
frenulum
what is the frenulum
thin band of connective tissue anchoring tongue to floor of mouth
what is the anterior 2/3 of the tongue derived from embryologically
ectoderm
what is the posterior 1/3 of the tongue derived from embryologically
pharynx (mesoderm)
what is the anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 of the tongue separated by
sulcus terminalis
what epithelium covers the anterior 2/3 of the tongue and posterior 1/3 of the tongue?
anterior 2/3 - keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
posterior 1/3 - non keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
what are the 4 types of lingual papillae
-filiform papillae
- fungiform papillae
- foliate papillae
- circumvallate papillae
describe filiform papillae
keratinized, short bristles, distributed in parallel rows
what is the most numerous papillae
filiform
what is the function of filiform papillae
lacks taste buds so tactile
describe fungiform papillae and where theyre located
mushroom shaped, scattered among filiform papillae
where are the taste buds on fungiform papillae located
dorsal surface
describe foliate papillae and where theyre located
located in furrows/ridges on lateral portion of the tongue
where are taste buds on foliate papillae located
laterally
what salivary glands are located at the base of foliate papillae
von-Ebners glands
describe circumvallate papillae
row of 8-12 large dome shaped papillae
