histology Flashcards
parotid gland
largest of salivary glands 25% of salivary volume compound tubulo-acinar gland secretion is serous (salivary amylase) adipose tissue
submanbular gland
w/sublingual 70% of saliva mixed, but mostly serous serous demilune: -serous cells (salivary amylase) -mucous cells (mucins)
sublingual
w/submandibular 70% saliva
mixed gland, but mostly mucous
serous cells, mucous cells, and serous demilunes
minor salivary glands
located in CT
5% saliva
external aspect of lip
covered w/normal thin skin
continous w/vermilion zone
vermilion zone
pink region of lip
extensive dermal papillae
capillary loops give color
devoid of hair and sweat glands
internal aspect
always wet
strasfied squamous wet epi
dense irregular CT underlying
many minor salivary glands
teeth
20 deciduous
replaced by 32 permanent teeth:
20 succedaneous
12 molars
anatomy of tooth
crown- visible root- w/in alveolus cervix- btwn crown and root enamel- hardest substance in body dentin cermentum
pulp space
- pulp chamber (in crown and cervix)
- root canal (in root) has apical foramen for passage of blood, lymph, nn
gingiva
tough mucous membrane exposed to strenuous forces
stratisfied squamous epi (paritially-fully cornified)
dense irregular CT (collagen type I)
as epi approaches tooth:
-curves and proceeds toward root tip
-attached to enamel surface by hemidesmosomes
-forms a barrier btwn oral cavity and gingival CT
Hard palate
anterior
bony immovable, rigid
statisfied squamous epi (partially-fully cornified)
dense irregular CT (anteriorly displays clusters of adipose, posteriorly minor salivary glands)
soft palate
posterior fleshy, movable core of skeletal m stratified squamous noncornified epi subjacent dense irregular CT minor salivary glands
uvula
posterior extension of soft palate
lined by stratified squamous noncornified epi
mix of serous and seromucous glands and m
tongue
intertwined mass of skeletal m: -extrinsic m -intrinsic: ~superior longitudinal ~inferior longitudinal ~vertical ~transverse
glands of tongue
mucous- glands of Nuhn
serous- von Ebners
sulcus terminalis
divides tongue into ant 2/3 and post 1/3
foramen cecum
dorsal surface of tongue
lingual papilae ant 2/3s lingual papillae type: -filiform -fungiform -circumvallate -foliate
filifrom
numerous slender structures impart velvety appearance to dorsal surface straified squamous cornified epi function to scrap food no taste buds
fungiform
covered by stratified squamous non-cornified
red dots throughout due to subepithelial capillaries
have taste buds on dorsal aspect of ‘cap’
circumvallate
8-12, in V-shape ant to sulcus terminalis
surrounded by epi lined groove
taste buds w/in groove and side, not on dorsum
foliate
located along posteriolateral aspect
appear as verticle furrows
have functional taste buds in neonate, degenerate by 2 or 3
slender ducts of serous minor salivary glands empty into base of furrows at the core of the tongue
taste bud
about 3000 on surface of tongue distinctly paler 70-80um long, 30-40um wide each has 60-80 spindle shaped cells taste pore opens into squamous epi
