histology, physiology of prehension and mastication Flashcards
what structures of the oral cavity are involved in mastication
- teeth and jaws
- gingiva and oral mucosa
- salivary glands and saliva
- masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joint
- tongue
lining mucosa
vestibular mucosa and sublingual mucosa
where is masticatory mucosa
gingiva and palate
specialized mucosa
dorsal surface of the tongue
surface epithelium
keratinized or parakeratinized stratified epithelium or non-keratinized epithelium
lamina propria
connective tissue layer of the epithelium
submucosa
connective tissue
* supports minor salivary glands, muscles and vessels and nerves
* determines the flexibility
where is non-keratinized epithelium
buccal and sublingual mucosa
what are the layers of the non-keratinized epithelium
- basal layer cell
- prickle cell layer
- intermediate cell layer
- superficial cell layer
keratinized/parakeratinized epithelium
hard palate and gingiva
what are the layers of the keratinized epithelium
- basal layer
- prickle cell layer
- granular cell layer
- keratinized
what is the papillary layer of lamina propria
interdigitates with epithelial pegs and has capillary loops close to the epithelial basement membrane
what is the reticular layer of the lamina propria
small vessels and bundles of collagen, transition to the underlying submucosa
what cells are in the lamina propria
- fibroblasts and inflammatory cells
- macrophages and mast cells
- collagen and elastin
does the gingiva have submucosa
no - epithelial layer attached to the periosteal surface
what is the outer surface of the gingiva
keratinized or parakeratinized epithelium - free and attached gingiva
what is the inner surface of the gingiva
non-keratinized stratified epithelium
are there collagen fibers in the gingiva
no
what is periodontal tissues
- tissues that anchor the tooth to the alveolar bone
- gingiva, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone and cementum
what happens in failure of periodontal tissues
loose tooth and this affects mastication
proprioception of the periodontal ligament and teeth involved in ____
mastication (pressure)
what is the periodontal ligament
- collagen I
- fibroblasts
- fibers in different directions
- cushion function during mastication
