24
Q

What are the four types of lingual papillae that make up the anterior 2/3 of the dorsal surface of the tongue?

A
  1. Filiform papillae
  2. Fungiform papillae

A

circumvallate papillae

29
Q

What is the lingual frenulum found?

A

Ventral surface of the tongue

30
Q

What are the stem cells called that regenerate the tongue?

A

Basal cells

31
Q

3 cell types found in taste buds

A

sensory cells
supporting cells
basal cells

32
Q

Where do major salivary glands empty into?

A

Oral cavity

33
Q

Where are minor salivary glands located?

A

In the submucosa of different parts or the oral cavity

34
Q

Anterior 2/3 of the roof of the mouth is the (blank) palate, which is made up of (blank) and (blank) epithelium

A

hard; bone; keratinized stratified squamous

35
Q

Posterior 1/3 of the roof of the mouth is the (blank) palate, which is made up of (blank) and contracts during swallowing to close off the (blank).

A

soft; skeletal muscle; nasopharynx

36
Q

The salivary glands are composed of (blank) and/or (blank) secretory cells arranged in tubules

A

serous or mucous

37
Q

Salivary glands secrete saliva through a series of intercalated, striated, and interlobular (blank)

A

ducts

38
Q

What does saliva do?

A

Moistens food
lubricates GI tract
Begins enzymatic digestion of carbs

39

Q

How is salivary composition and osmolarity modulated?

A

By duct epithelium

42
Q

Modulation of salivary volume by parasympathetic vs sympathetic stimulation

A

Parasympathetic: increases volume
Sympathetic: decreases volume
