How is a tooth anchored to the bone?
by periodontal ligaments made of collagenous sharpey’s fibers. The periodontal ligament connects the cementum (outside of the dentin) to the alveolar bone.
Label

D= dentin
O= odontoblasts on the edge of the dental pulp.
V= vessels found inside the pulp cavity housing the dental pulp.
Label. Find cememtum and periodontal ligaments

P=pulp cavity with dental pulp inside
B= bone
D= Dentin
E= enamel
G= gingival pocket
G= gingivae (gum)
Cementum is between dentin and periodontal ligament, PLs are between cementum and bone. Therefore even though its hard to tell, it goes dentin-cementum-periodontal ligaments-bone.
what tissue is in the pulp cavity of a tooth. What cells give rise to enamel? which cells give rise to dentin
aereolar connective tissue. ameloblasts make enamel, dentin is made by odontoblasts.

simple columnar.
TF: besides the change in epithelium from SS non keratinized to simple cuboidal, all other layers are continuous between the esophagus and the stomach.
True, the lamina propria, muscularis mucosae made with smooht muscle, and submucosa are the same. There are cardiac glands in the stomach of the lamina propria thogh.
What is this? Which side is which?

Gastroesophageal junction. The “holes” in the lamina propria are cardiac glands.
On left= stomach
on right = bottom portion of esophagus.
what are the four regions of the stomach (from esophagus to small intestine)

2) fundus
3) corpus/body
4) pyloris

rugae.
mucosal folds on the small intestines visible to human eye
plicae circulares
is the bottom part of the esophagus covered with serosa or adventitia?
serosa. joins the stomach. the top portion is covered with adventitia.
the simple columnar epithelium in the stomach contains __ mucous cells to secrete ___ mucus that coats the mucosa and protects it from the enzymes and acid of gastric juize
SURFACE mucous cells to secrete ALKALINE mucus.
which portion of the stomach has the deepest gastric pits?
pyloric portion
cardiac portion of the stomach contains ___ glands, the fundus portion of stomach contains ____ glands, and the pyloric portion of the stomach contains ___ glands
cardiac portion of the stomach contains CARDIAC glands, the fundus portion of stomach contains GASTRIC glands, and the pyloric portion of the stomach contains PYLORIC glands
What are these two diagrams? What cell/glands are foudn in these tissues?

Left= fundic portion. Contains parietal (Hcl) and cheif (enzyme) cells. Plus mucus secreting gastric cells. has SHORT PITS
Right= cardiac portion of stomach. Contains cardiac glands for mucus production. Contains LONGER GASTRIC PITS, but not as long as pylorus.
What portion of the stomach is this? How can you differentiaite between the pyloric and the cardiac portion of the stomach?

this is the pyloric portion. You can differentiate between the two because the pyloric has a higher PIT to gland ratio. They have LARGER pits and less pyloric glands. The cardiac portion has slightly shorter pits, and the pit to gland ratio is about 1:1

3 regions of the glands of the fundus and body of the stomach
1) isthmus
2) neck
3) body
What region of the stomach is this? Label the picture

Fundic portion of the stomach. Mucous neck cells are hard to distinguish from chief cells (most abundant near base). they secrete pepsin and lipase.
