Q

Is geographic tongue a permanent condition?

A

No it is transient and may persist more than a month

20
Q

Which vitamin deficiency may be involved in the condition of geographic tongue?

A

Vitamin B

21
Q

Are smokers more or less likely to have geographic tongue?

A

Less likely

22
Q

Does the hairy tongue condition actually have hair?

A

No they are extremely long filiform papillae

23
Q

Which papillae are involved in the formation of hairy tongue?

A

Filiform papillae accumulate and elongate into hair like strands

24
Q

What treatment is available for the hairy tongue condition?

A

Good oral hygiene, brushing of the tongue, and sometimes trimming the elongated filiform papillae

25
Q

Which serous glands surround the circumvallate papillae and clear the cleft around the papillae?

A

von Ebner’s glands

26
Q

Which papillae have parallel wrinkles on side of tongue?

A

Foliate

27
Q

Do foliate papillae usually have keratinization?

A

No

28
Q

Where do fungiform papillae contain taste buds?
Foliate papillae?
Circumvallate?

A

On the dorsal (top) surface.

Both foliate and circumvallate papillae contain taste buds on the lateral (side) epithelium.

29
Q

Which papillae usually surround fungiform papillae?

A

Filiform

30
Q

The fungiform papillae are white/pale post-mortem, however, they appear red in-vivo. Why is this?

A

Fungiform papillae have s highly vascularized CT core that projects very high up into the epithelium

31
Q

What direction do the highly keratinized filiform papillae point?

A

Towards the back of the tongue

32
Q

What are taste pores surrounded by at the surface epithelium?

A

Flattened keratinocytes

33
Q

What do taste pores have in their centers?

A

Skinny columnar taste cells

34
Q

What do taste cells have at their tips?

A

Sensory microvilli

35
Q

The sensory microvilli of taste cells are also called _____ cells, even though they are not made of _____

A

Hair; hair

36
Q

Which nerves directly innervate the sensory cells of the taste buds?

A

VII, IX, and X

37
Q

How long do taste cells live? Where do they go after they die?

A

Weeks. They fall out of the taste pores

38
Q

Which cells replace the exfoliating taste cells?

A

Basal cells that are stem cells that replace the columnar cells

39
Q

What would happen if all taste cells are exfoliated at the same time?

A

One would lose the sense of taste

40
Q

What are the five taste categories?

A

Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, and Umami

41
Q

Which tastes are transduced via channels? Which via receptors?

A

Salts and Acids are via channels
Bitter, Umami, and Sweet via receptors

42
Q

In addition to tongue papillae, where are taste buds also located?

A

Glossopalatine arch, soft palate, epiglottis, and the posterior wall of the pharynx

43
Q

Taste buds on the body of the tongue are innervated by which cranial nerve?

A

VII

44
Q

The root of the tongue including the taste buds of the circumvallate papillae are innervated by what cranial nerves?

A

IX, X

45
Q

T/F The lamina propria of the tongue contains both serous and mucous glands?

A

True

46
Q

What is the purpose of lingual tonsils?

A

To provide immunologic protection at the entrance of the digestive tract
