GI Tract 1 Flashcards
Lips - stratified sqaum, keratinizing ep.
external skin
Lips - stratified squamous ep.
dense irregular CT
submucous glands
adventitia = skeletal muscle
intenal = “wet” mucosa
lightly keratinzied strat squam. ep.
gums
Gums - dense irregular CT (collagen I)
submucosa
Gums - bone
adventitia
produced by ameloblasts
non-vital, non-regenerative
most mineralized
enamel
produced by odontoblasts
vital/regenerative
dentin
loose CT; high GAG –> vascularized/innervated
pulp cavity
bone like tissue
cementum
collagen I fibers embed spongy bone/cementum
hold teeth in place
highly regenerative, vascularized, innervated
pulp cavity
socket of spongy bone in mandible/maxilla
alveolus
strat sqaum epi.
adventia - skeletal muscle
soft palate
strat. squam kertin.
adventia - bone
hard palate
prominent posterior MALT
strat squam kertin
L.P. dense irregular CT
submucosal serous glands
tongue
each sensory receptor cell = long, slender dendritic microvilli –> protrude apically
taste buds
