Histo Exam 3 Flashcards
Define membrane
Membranes are flat sheets of tissue that cover or line a part of the body
An EPITHELIAL membrane consists of an epithelial tissue that is __________
Epithelial Tissue BOUND TO an underlying connective tissue layer (In other words, it is the epithelial tissue and connective tissue together that compose the epithelial membrane)
What are the 3 types of epithelial membranes?
Epithelial Membrane Types:
- Cutaneous Membranes
- Mucous Membranes
- Serous Membranes
Skin is also known as _________ membranes
SKIN= CUTANEOUS MEMBRANES
Cutaneous membranes cover the _______ surface of the body
Cover the EXTERNAL surface of the body
Epidermis is what kind of tissue?
Epidermis = Keratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium
Dermis consists of what kind(s) of tissue?
Dermis =
- Areolar Connective Tissue
- Dense Irregular Connective Tissue
Cutaneous Membranes consist of what two layers?
Consists of …
- Epidermis
- Dermis
Mucous Membranes are commonly referred to as _________
Mucosa
What kinds of body surface to mucous membranees line?
Mucosa lines a body cavity that OPENS DIRECTLY to the EXTERIOR
Give some common examples of body systems/tracts that are lined by mucous membranes
Find mucosa lining all of the digestive, respiratory, reproductive, and urinary tracts
Mucous membranes are composed of _________ and an __________ called the Lamina Properia
Mucous membranes consist of LINING EPITHELIUM and an UNDERLYING LAYER OF CONNECTIVE TISSUE called the “lamina properia”
What kind of connective tissue is the underlying layer of connective tissue found in mucosa?
CT of mucosa is AREOLAR connective tissue
A Mucous membrane is a ______ membrane and often there are _______ cells and other types of epithelial cells that secrete __________ to prevent cavities from drying out
A mucous membrane is WET membrane and often there are GOBLET cells and other types of epithelial cells that secrete MUCOUS to prevent cavities from drying out.
Serous Membranes are also referred to as ______
Serous membranes = SEROSA
Serous membranes line body cavities that ________________ and the ______ that lie within that cavity
Serous membranes line body cavities that do NOT OPEN DIRECTLY to the EXTERIOR and the ORGANS that lie within that cavity
Serous membrane consists of what two tissue/cell layers?
SErous membrane: Consists of MESOTHELIUM (simple squamous epithelium) with underlying AREOLAR CONNECTIVE TISSUE
Name the 4 boundaries of the Oral Cavity (according to Dr. Burgoon)
- Cheeks
- Hard and Soft Palate
- Tongue
- Floor of mouth
What are lips/labia exactly?
Lips/Labia are fleshy folds that surround the opening of the mouth and contain the obicularis oris muscle
The lips are the location of a ________ junction
Lips are at a MUCOCUTANEOUS junction
The oral cavity opens into the oropharynx through an opening called the _____
Fauces
Name the TWO parts of the oral cavity
- Vestibule
2. Oral Cavity Proper
Define the Oral Cavity Vestibule
Vestibule is the space between the lips and teeth and between the cheeks and teeth
Define the Oral Cavity Proper
Oral Cavity Proper has a superior border of the hard and soft palates; inferior border of the tongue and the floor of the mouth; the posterior border in the entrance to the oropharynx; and all other borders are teeth
The primary epithelium of the oral cavity is _________
Primary = Nonkeratenized Stratified Squamous Epithelium
LINING mucosa is found where in the oral cavity?
Found covering the soft palate, lips, cheeks, inferior surface of the tongue, and the floor of the mouth
Other than the primary epithelium, what is another type of epithelium is readily found within the oral cavity
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium is ALSO found within the oral cavity
Where in the oral cavity do you find MASTICATORY mucosa?
Found at the hard palate, gingiva, and the dorsum of the tongue
When surface cells have a nucleus, is it keratinized or not?
NONkeratinized with nucleus
What are the 4 types of lingual papillae that are seen on the dorsal surface of the tongue anterior to the terminal sulcus?
- Filiform Papillae
- Fungiform Papillae
- Circumvallate (or Vallate) Papillae
- Folliate Papillae
What is the foramen cecum?
An embryonic remnant of the thyroglossal duct
Filiform papilla are most _____ and most ____ in humans
Filiform: Most SMALL and most NUMEROUS in humans
Describe the shape of the filiform papilla, and in what direction do they point?
Filiform are shaped like CORN, and they point to the PHARYNX
To what degree are filiform papilla keratinized, and why is that the case?
Filiform are HIGHLY keratinized, and this is because that will aid in licking thinks and in manipulating food within the mouth
What is the association between Filiform Papilla and Taste Buds?
There are NO taste buds associated with filiform papilla
How do Fungiform papilla compare physically on the tongue to Filiform papilla
Fungiform are mushroom in shape, and also are less numerous and more scattered that filiform papilla
Describe the degree of vascularity seen in fungiform papilla, as well as their location on the tongue
Fungiform papilla are HIGHLY vascularized, and can be found on the dorsal surface of the tongue
To what degree are Fungiform papilla keratinized?
Fungiform papilla are only SLIGHTLY keratinized
Vallate papilla are the ______ and _________ type of papillae
Vallate are the LARGEST and LEAST NUMEROUS
Describe the shape of the Vallate papilla, as well as where they can be located
Vallate are DOME shaped and can be found ONLY ANTERIOR TO THE TERMINAL SULCUS along the lateral wall (not the dorsal surface)
Name the gland at the base of the Vallate papilla and describe its function
Von Ebrner Glands….are found at the base of Vallate papillae
These are SEROUS glands that produce saliva, because constantly flushing out that area to allow other chemicals to find the taste buds
Describe the degree of keratinization found in Vallate papillae
Vallate are on ly slightly keratinized
