Q

describe foliate papillae

A
poorly developed in humans
non-keratinized
on lateral tongue
taste buds laterally
house von ebner's glands
24
Q

where are taste buds located?

A

lingual papillae: fungiform, circumvallate and foliate; soft palate, pharynx, epiglottis

25
Q

describe taste bud structure

A

taste pore opens at apex

26
Q

what are the 3 general cell types in taste buds?

A

neuroepithelial, supporting cells, basal cells

27
Q

which CNs supply taste?

A

CN VII, IX, X

28
Q

what supplies general sensation to the tongue?

A

CN V

29
Q

how is the “crown” of the tooth defined?

A

clinically- above gingiva

anatomically- covered by enamel

30
Q

what is the root of the tooth?

A

below the crown, houses pulp cavity and root cavity

31
Q

what is contained in the pulp cavity?

A

CT, blood vessels and nerves

32
Q

what type of bone is present in dental sockets?

A

immature/woven bone that can be remodeled (orthodontics)

33
Q

what is the structure of the periodontal ligament?

A

dense collagenous CT binding the root of the tooth (dentin) to the alveolar bone periosteum

34
Q

describe enamel

A

acellular, mineralized tissue formed with hydroxyapetite, strongest substance in body, no collagen

35
Q

what produces enamel?

A

ameloblasts

36
Q

describe cementum

A

mineral and bone-like
avascular
covers the root

37
Q

what produces cementum?

A

cementocytes

38
Q

describe dentin

A

hydroxyapetite and type I collagen
bulk of the tooth
located deep to enamel and cementum layers

39
Q

what produces dentin?

A

odontoblasts

40
Q

describe the components of “mucosa”

A
  • epithelium with basal lamina
  • lamina propria
  • muscularis mucosa- smooth mm
41
Q

describe the submucosa

A

typically dense, irregular CT with blood/lymph, nerves

42
Q

describe the muscularis externa

A

2 layers

  • inner circumferential
  • outer longitudinal
43
Q

describe serosa/adventitia

A

-mesothelium - simple squamous epithelium

plus CT

44
Q

differentiate serosa and adventitia

A

called adventitia when the layer of CT is connected to adjacent structures in the body

45
Q

what is the intrinsic innervation of the GI tract?

A

meissners plexus, Auerbach’s plexus

46
Q

what is the extrinsic innervation of the GI tract?

A

Autonomic (symp, parasymp)

47
Q

where is Meissner’s plexus located? function?

A

submucosa; GI secretion

48
Q

where is Auerbach’s plexus located? function?

A

between the inner and outer layers of the muscular is externa; motor innervation

49
Q

what is the epithelium present in the esophagus?

A

stratified squamous non-keratinized

50
Q

what is present in the lamina propria of the esophagus?

A

esophageal cardiac glands, lymph tissue

51
Q

what do esophageal cardiac glands secrete?

A

neutral mucus

52
Q

what is special about the muscularis mucosa of the esophagus?

A

has longitudinal orientation only

53
Q

what is present in the submucosa of the esophagus?

A

dense irregular CT with esophageal glands

54
Q

what do esophageal glands secrete?

A

lightly acidic mucus for lubrication

55
Q

what is the arrangement of mm in the muscularis externa of the esophagus?

A

upper 1/3- all skeletal
mid 1/3- mix of skeletal and smooth
lower 1/3- all smooth

56
Q

what is the innervation of von ebner’s glands?

A

parasympathetic

mediated through CN IX

57
Q

how can the lamina propria be differentiated from the other layers and sublayers?

A

interdigitates with luminal epithelium, rests on thin smooth mm band (muscularis mucosa)
