Micro Exam 1 Cards Flashcards
Oral mucosa
strat. squam. epithel (may be keratinized); lamina propria (dense, fibrous CT)
Tissue composition of oral cavity
mucosa, skel. m., adipose, salivary glands, nn.
Commonly keratinized oral mucosa areas
dental pad, dorsal tongue, hard palate, cheek
lip composition
oral mucosa, orbicularis oris, adipose, haired skin (sinus hairs, seb. glands)
mucocutaneous junction
of the lip, jxn b/w haired surface and vestibular surface
micro characteristic of sinus hairs
cavitated spaces filled with blood
tongue mucosa
strat. squam. epithel.,lingual papillae, taste buds, fibrous CT
tongue composition
mucosa, adipose, skel mm. at right angles, salivary glands, nn.
dorsal/ventral surface of tongue
kerat. strat. squam. with papilla dorsal; non-kerat. ventral
types of lingual papillae
filiform, circumvallate (aka vallate), fungiform, foliate
only mechanical papillae
filiform
micro characteristics of filiform papillae
kerat squam epithel; slender, conical; underlying CT
micro characteristics of circumvallate papillae
deep pocket with moat; taste buds on sides; CT core with n. ending; salivary gland empty into moat
micro characteristics of fungiform papillae
mushroom shaped; CT core; taste buds on dorsal surface
macro characteristics of filiform papillae
short bristles; most numerous (90%);
macro characteristics of circumvallate papillae
does not protrude above surface; most visible, least numerous; back of tongue
macro characteristics of fungiform papillae
less numerous than filiform; smaller than vallate; protrudes
micro characteristics of foliate papillae
flat top; rectangular; deep clefts on side; taste buds on side
taste buds most numerous on this papilla
circumvallate papillae
foliate papillae found in these animals
lagomorphs
components of taste buds
encapsulated; banana-shaped sensory cells, taste pores w/ u-villi (taste hairs); lamina propria
gingiva
the mucosa that immediately surrounds the tooth
papillomatosis
exophytic, hyperkeratotic masses w/hyperplastic epidermis supported by fibrovascular stroma; may regress spontaneously
cells of respiratory (or nasal) surface
ciliated columnar
cells of oral surface of palate
strat. squam. epith.
micro characteristics of hard palate
bone, adipose, salivary glands, lamina propria, oral mucosa surface
micro characteristics of soft palate
ciliated columnar (resp), skel mm., salivary gland, lamina propria, strat. squam
brachydont
fully formed teeth; d/n continuously erupt; enamel made only b/f eruption, then ameloblasts die.
hypsodont
teeth d/n fully form; continuously erupt; herbivores
ameloblasts
cells that produce enamel (only during dx)
odontoblasts
cells that produce dentin (throughout life)
periodontal ligament
anchors tooth to alveolar bone (mesoderm)
pulp cavity
living tissue, blood vessels, mesenchyme
enamel
covers outside of tooth; made by ameloblasts; lost during pathol. Processing
dentin
bulk of tooth; softer than enamel
cementum
covers root of tooth (d/n protrude beyond gum line); bone-like
tooth dx in rodents
continuously produce enamel; wear down teeth by gnawing; root & crown grow through life
tooth dx in horses
enamel and dentin intertwined (increased strength, decreased wear rate)
order from inner to outer layer of tooth (above gum)
pulp cavity, odontoblasts, dentin, enamel, ameloblasts, stellate reticulum, alveolar bone
order from inner to outer layer of tooth (below gum)
pulp cavity, odontoblasts, dentin, cementum, periodontal lig., alveolar bone
the CT in the oral cavity is called
lamina propria (possibly dermis if in haired skin)
the tongue is primarily composed of
skeletal muscle
function of saliva
moistens/lubricates, mastication, deglutition (swallowing), adjusts pH, dissolution of food stuffs, limited CH2O digestion
saliva consists of
protein, glycoproteins, electrolytes, water
saliva production per day
man: 1-2L, sheep: 1-4L, cow: 90-190L, horses: 38L
dripping saliva (rabies) result of
pharyngeal paralysis; therefore not swallowed
salivary secretions drain to
the buccal cavity
ducts of major salivary glands
longer ducts b/c glands more distant from buccal cavity
ducts of minor salivary glands
shorter ducts b/c glands more proximal
major salivary glands
parotid, mandibular, sublingual; in carnivores: zygomatic, molar
minor salivary glands
labial, lingual (aka glands of von Ebner), buccal, palatine
adenomere
individual cells; compound tubuloalveolar glands
serous demilunes
crest-shaped serous cells; around mucous acini
myoepithelial cells
help expel secretions (b/c contain contractile elements)
mucous salivary gland, micro appearance
polygonal/wedge; foamy; periph nuc
serous salivary gland, micro appearance
poligonal; plumper than mucous; central nuc.; more granular/eosinophilic
ducts of salivary glands, smallest to largest
intercalated, striated (aka intralobular), lobular, intralobar, lobar, excretory
cells lining intercalated ducts
low cuboidal epithelium (non-secretory)
cells lining striated (intralobular) ducts
columnar
cells lining lobular ducts
columnar
cells lining intralobar ducts
pseudostratified
cells lining lobar ducts
pseudostratified
cells lining excretory ducts
squamous
primary cell types of the liver
hepatocytes and kupffer cells
Hepatocytes
liver cell; mitotically active
Kupffer cells
macrophages in liver; phagocytize old rbcs and process iron. Sit in space adjacent to blood.
Blood supply of liver
functional (hepatic portal v.; 4/5) and nuritional (hepatic a.)
