What are the three types of mucosa in the oral cavity?
- Masticatory mucosa2. Lining mucosa3. Specialized mucosa
Where is the masticatory mucosa located?
Gingivae and hard palate
What type of epithelium makes up the masticatory mucosa?
Keratinized and parakeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Which parts of the masticatory mucosa lack a submucosa?
Gingivae and palatine raphe
What is contained in the anterior submucosa of the hard palate?
Adipose CT
What is contained in the posterior submucosa of the hard palate?
Mucous glands
What anchors the mucosa to the periosteum of the hard palate?
Collagen fibers
What type of epithelium makes up the lining mucosa?
Nonkeratinized stratified squamous (parakeratinized in some areas)
What are the layers of the lining mucosa?
- Stratum basale2. Stratum spinosum3. Stratum superficiale
What is associated with the specialized mucosa of the oral cavity?
