GI Histo I Flashcards
tongue: skeletal muscle is covered with what kind of membrane
mucous
elevations of oral epithelium on the dorsal surface called
papilla
taste buds are found on ____ of the papilla
some
papillae types: no taste buds, conical in appearance; increase friction between tongue and food and is keratinized. FOUND ALL OVER TONGUE
filiform papillae (dorsal fins of a shark)
papillae types: have some taste buds; FOUND AT MARGINS OF TONGUE
fungiform papillae (surrounding it are filiform papillae)
papillae types: found on the posterior aspect of the tongue, have Ebner’s glands and many taste buds
(circum) vallate papillae (mushrooms that have tilted over)
papillae types: poorly developed in humans and have many taste buds
foliate papillae
structures containing taste cells; onion shaped with microvilli, rest in the basal lamina
taste bud
how many teeth in adult mouth
32 permanent
teeth are divided into 2 parts
- crown - above gum
2. root - below gingiva; keeps tooth in alveolar socket
what are the 5 components of teeth
- enamel
- cementum
- dentin
- pulp
- periodontium
surrounds the crown and is produced by AMELOBLAST cells (hardest substance in the body)
enamel
surrounds the root and is produced by CEMENTOBLASTS
cementum
deeper than both enamel and cementum and is produced by ODONTOBLASTS
dentin
highly vascularized and innervated. PAIN SENSITIVE (lowest part is where root canal is performed)
pulp
part that keeps tooth in the socket
periodontium
- alveoli bone
- periodontal ligament
- cementum
- gingiva
alimentary canal: 4 layers
- mucosa
- submucosa
- muscularis externa
- serosa/adventitia
alimentary canal: blood vessels, lymphoid tissue and meissner’s plexus
submucosa
alimentary canal: smooth muscle layers which function in peristalsis (inner- circular, outer - longitudinal) and auerbach’s (myenteric plexus)
muscularis externa
controls motility of the mucosal layer and secretions from the glands (post gang p/s)
Meissner’s plexus
