Histo - Oral Cavity Flashcards
What are the 4 Main Functions of the Oral Cavity?
- Phonation
- Ingestion, mastication
- Digestion of carbs & lipids starts
-
Immune function
- saliva contains IgA from PLASMA CELLS
What is this?
Lips
3 Different Surfaces:
-
Exterior (cutaneous; thin skin)
- SSK
- Hair, sweat glands, sebaceous glands
-
Vermillion border (Red region)
- thin skin w/ capillary tufts
- no hair, no glands
-
Interior (oral mucosa)
- SSNK
What are the type of papillae on tongue?
-
Filiform
- pointed
- NO TASTE BUDs
- scattered over dorsal surface
- cause roughness
-
Fungiform
- TASTE BUDS
- mushroom shaped
- dorsal & lateral surface
- red-dots on tongue surface
-
Circumvallate (Vallate)
- LATERAL TASTE BUDS
- anterior to sulcus terminalis
- deep moats
- Von Ebner’s glands (serous salivary glands) open into base of moats
-
Foliate
- LATERAL TASTE BUDS
- peglike, but similar to vallate
- best dev in children
What is this?
Papillae
- Filiform - NO TASTE BUDS (pointed)
- Fungiform
- Circumvallate (Vallate)
- Foliate
What is this?
Foliate Papillae
What is this? What is associated with this?
Serous salivary glands are associated
with foliate papilla
What is this?
Tongue
- Skeletal Muscle
- intrinsic = change shape
- extrinsic = movement
- Multiple orientations of tongue
What is this?
Taste Buds
- Barrel shaped
- Openings = TASTE PORE
- connect to CNS
- Cells
- taste receptors = GUSTATORY CELLS
- microvilli that go towards takes pore
- supporting cells
- immature cells
- stem cells/basal cells
- taste receptors = GUSTATORY CELLS
-
Tastes dissolve into saliva & contact the microvilli to interact w/ taste receptors
- sweet
- sour (acid)
- bitter (alkaloids)
- salty
- umami (AAs)
How many teeth do we have as children vs. adults?
20 - children / 32 - adults
Components to teeth:
-
Crown
- covered by enamel
-
Neck
- enamel + cementum come together
-
Root
- covered w/ cementum
-
Dentin + Pulp cavity
- sockets in jaw
- Pulp = CT in center of tooth + Blood vessels + nerves
- enter via APICAL foramen
- Peridonatal ligaments
- hold tooth –> jaw (SHARPEY’S FIBERS)
- type I collagen
- hold tooth –> jaw (SHARPEY’S FIBERS)
NOTE:
-
Scurvy = loss of peridontal ligamnets
- loss of collagen due to lack of VIT C
What are the 3 types of cells in the tooth?
-
Ameloblasts (lose this as ADULT)
- from ECTODERM
- make ENAMEL (90% of tooth)
- CANNOT BE REPLACED
-
Cementoblasts
- from CRANIAL NEURAL CREST (ectomesenchyme)
- make CEMENTUM (45%)
-
Odontoblasts
- from CRANIAL NEURAL CREST (ectomesenchyme)
- make DENTIN (60-70%)
- DONT DIVIDE
- nerve fibers run in dentin tubules
- cause pain sensation
What is this?
Root Canal & Implant
What is this?
Developing Head & Teeth!!
What is happening in this pic?
Developing Tooth
Cell Fates:
-
Inner enamel (dental ) epithelium
- becomes AMELOBLASTS
- die when tooth erupts
-
Outer enamel (dental) epithelium
- lost when tooth erupts
-
Cells in primitive dental papilla adjacent to inner enamel
- become ODONTOBLASTS
-
Stellate reticulum
- Lost when tooth erupts
What is this?
Tooth:
Dental Lamina from Oral Ectoderm & Bud of the Permanent
Tooth
What are the layers in this image?
- Ameloblasts
- Enamel
- basophilic
- Odontoblasts
- Dentin
- eosinophilic
