Q

What type of epithelium covers the foliate papillae?

A

Stratified squamous with taste buds

18
Q

What empties into the clefts of foliate papillae?

A

Small serous glands

19
Q

What are the three cell types of taste buds?

A
  1. Neuroepithelial (sensory) cells2. Supporting cells3. Basal cells
20
Q

What are the characteristics of the neuroepithelial (sensory) cells?

A
  1. Apical surface have microvilli2. Connected to neighboring cells via tight junctions3. Form synapses with CN VII, IX, or X
21
Q

What are the characteristics of the supporting cells in taste buds?

A
  1. Contain microvilli and tight junctions2. Prevent cross talk between sensory cells
22
Q

What are the characteristics of the basal cells in taste buds?

A
  1. Located near basal lamina 2. Serve as stem cell population
23
Q

What lies deep to the mucosa of the lip?

A

Submucosa which houses labial salivary glands

24
Q

What kind of secretory cells make up the parotid gland?

A

Only serous

25
Q

What kind of secretory cells make up the submandibular gland?

A

Primarily serous, some mucous

26
Q

What kind of secretory cells make up the sublingual gland?

A

Primarily mucous, some serous

27
Q

What is the acquired pellicle?

A

Protective protein coat on teeth

28
Q

What are the enzymes in saliva?

A
  1. Amylase2. Lipase3. Lysozyme4. Lactoperoxidase
29
Q

What is the role of lactoferrin in saliva?

A

Antibacterial - binds iron so that bacteria cannot use it

30
Q

Which antibody is contained in saliva?

A

IgA

31
Q

What are the layers of the tooth?

A
  1. Enamel - covers anatomic crown, absent at root2. Dentin - present in crown and root3. Cementum - covers root, absent at anatomic crown
32
Q

What covers the root?

A

Cementum only

33
Q

From what tissue is enamel derived?

A

Epithelial tissue

34
Q

What are the stages of tooth development?

A
  1. Bud stage2. Cap stage3. Bell stage4. Amelogenesis
35
Q

What characterizes the bud stage?

A
  1. Invagination of oral epithelium into the mesenchyme2. Mesenchymal cells form the primordium of the dental papilla3. Cells of epithelial tooth bud secrete FGR-4 and BMP-2,4,7 to regulate shape
36
Q

What characterizes the cap stage?

A
  1. Inner enamel epithelium cells differentiate into ameloblasts2. At dental papilla neural crest cells of neuroectoderm differentiate into odontoblasts3. Induced by activin BA and BMP-4 secreted by mesenchyme4. Outer enamel epithelium, stellate reticulum, and stratum intermedium start to appear
37
Q

What characterizes the bell stage?

A
  1. Outer enamel epithelium2. Inner enamel epithelium3. Stratum intermedium - elaborate and transport substances to the ameloblasts4. Stellate reticulum - stellate appearing cells in an ECM of glycosaminoglycans and water
38
Q

What characterizes amelogenesis?

A
  1. Process by which enamel forms2. Mamtrix production or secretory stage carried out by ameloblasts directly on previously formed dentin3. Matrix maturation is carried out by maturation stage ameloblasts - removal of organic components of partially mineralized enamel
39
Q

What characterizes maturation stage ameloblasts?

A

Ruffled borders

40
Q

What are the characteristics of cementum?

A
  1. Cementoblasts actively secrete cementum 2. Avascular3. Sharpey’s fibers (type I collagen) run from cementum to bone of tooth socket
41
Q

What are the characteristics of dentin?

A
  1. Secreted by odontoblasts 2. Odontoblasts are derived from neural crest cells of adjacent mesenchyme3. Elongated processes of odontoblasts are embedded in dentinal tubules4. Secreted throughout life
42
Q

How does the pulp cavity change with age?

A

Becomes smaller as more dentin is secreted
