Final Exam Chapter 7 Flashcards
Where is masticatory mucosa found
Gingiva and hard pallate
What is the surface epithelium of the masticatory mucosa
Keritinized or parakeritinized stratified squamos epithelium
What do superficial cells of parakeritinized stratified squamos epithelium keep
Their nuclei
What are the 2 parts of the lamina propria for oral mucosa
Papillary layer and reticular layer
What type of connective tissues are located in the lamina propria
Papillary later = thick loose ct, reticular layer = more dense ct
What does the papillary layer of the lamina propria contain
Blood vessels, nerves, sensory receptors, some Meissner’s corpuscles
Where is lining mucosa found
On soft palate, underside of tongue, floor of mouth, cheeks, and lips
What is the surface eptihelium of the lining mucosa
Generally nonkeritinized stratified squamos epithelium, occasionally parakeratinized stratified squamos epi.
What is the surface epithelium of the lips/vermillion border
Keratinized stratified squamos epi
What is the difference between the areas of non keratinized and keratinized within the lining mucosa
Areas of nonkeratinized stratified squamos epi is thicker than the areas of keratinized stratified squamos epi
What is the lamina propria like for the lining mucosa
Loose ct with blood vessels
What type of CT is the submucosa made of in the lining mucosa and what can they contain
More dense CT, can have minor salivary glands,sabaecceous glands (corner) larger blood vessels and nerves too
What are the three types of oral mucosa
Masticatory mucosa, lining mucosa, specialized mucosa
Where is specialized mucosa found
On dorsal surface of tongue
What is the surface epithelium of the specialized mucosa
- Keratinized strat. Squamos on filiform papillae
2. Strat squamos on all other papillae
What are 2 functions of specialized mucosa
Move food and taste
What is the thickness of the tongues mucosa like
Thicker dorsally, thinner and smoother posteriorly
What type of glands are associated with the vallate papillae of the tongue
Small salivary (von Ebner) glands
What do small salivary (von Ebner) glands do
Produce serous fluid to cleanse the taste buds on the vallate papillae
Where are taste buds located
On all papillae except filiform papillae
What is the lamina propria like in the mucosa of the tongue
Loos ct, adipose possible
What does the submucosa of the tongue contain
Lingual salivary glands to produce prodcuts like major salivary glands
What is special about intrinsic tongue muscle
No external attachement
What is the arrangement of the intrinsic tongue muscles
Dorsal to post
- superior longitudinal muscle
- vertical muscles alternating with transverse muscles
- inferior longitudinal muscle
What is the function of the intrinsic muscles of the tongue
Change tongue shape
What are the ameloblasts of the teeth
Polarized columnar cells that lose following tooth eruption
What is the function of ameloblasts
Produce enamel
What is the enamel of the teeth like
Hardest substance in the body made of interlinked enamel rods that cannot move after tooth eruption
What is the dentin of the tooth like
Harder than bone, contains thin dentinal tubules containing nerves and cell processes of odontoblasts
What is predentin of the tooth like
Precursor to dentin before mineralization
What are odontoblasts of the tooth like
Columnar cells lining pulp cavity surviving in adults
What is the function of the odontoblasts
Repair and produce dentin/ maintain dentists
Where is dental pulp located and what is it
Ct with many blood vessels and nerves in dental papilla
What is the potential problem of dental papilla
Extensive inflammation
What are the 3 types of salivary glands
Parotid, submandibular, sublingual
Which gland is the largest salivary gland
The parotid gland but it produces 30% of total salivary output
What sickness affects the parotid gland most
Mumps, the facial nerve passes through
Which gland is 100% serous producing
Parotid gland
What 3 products are produced by the parotid gland
- Salivary amylose and lipase
- Lysozome (antimicrobial)
- Secretory IgA (immunity)
How large is the submandibular gland
It is a smaller gland but produces 60% of total salivary output
Is the submandibular gland serous producing
Yes! Has serous demilumes
What is the size of the sublingual gland
Smallest gland producing 5% of total salivary ouput
All serous products of sublingual glands come from where
Serous demilunes = no separate serous acini
How is saliva secretion stimulated
By autonomic efferent impulses
What will parasympathetic impulses do in saliva secretion
Increase the amount of watery secretion
What will sympathetic impulses do in saliva secretion
They will result in decreased amount of saliva with a thicker consistency this results in dryer oral cavity
What are 3 things within the luminal wall mucosa
Surface epithelium, lamina propria (loose ct), muscularis mucosae (smooth muscle)
What part of the luminal wall contains dense ct, larger blood vessels, and submucosal (Meissner) plexus
The submucosa
What is the function of the submucosa within the luminal wall
Influence mucosa
What is the fiber orientation of the muscularis externa within the luminal wall
Inner circular and outer longitudinal layers (normal pattern)
What part of the luminal wall structure contains myenteric (Auerbach) plexus and typically is smooth muscle
Muscularis externa
What is the function of the muscularis external of the luminal wall
Influence myenteric plexus
What is next to the muscularis externa of the luminal wall?
Serosa or adventitia
Which one serosa or adventitia has ct
Adventitia
Does serosa or adventita have and edge of simple squamos epithelium that is serous producing
Serosa
