ORAL Flashcards
Identify

- Hard Plate
- Soft plate
- Molars
- Pre Molars
- .Canine
- Incissors
- Vestibule ( external position) space between lips and gums where parotid ducts secrete their product
- Superior (Top) Lip
- Gingivae (gums)
- palatine tonsil ( side)
- Inferior ( bottom ) Lip
THREE main spaces of the oral
Vesibules : betweens lips and gums
Oral cavity proper
Pharynx which is at the back
The entire oral cavity is covered with
mucous membrane
If the epithelium is keratinized the mucosa is said to be
masticatory mucosa
Masticatory Mucosa is and covers
Masticatory means friction, regions with alot of friction. surfaces such as ie gingiva (gums) hard plate and dorsal surface of the tongue (top)
Cells in the oral cavity are usually
wet
Where is the sublingual area of the mouth ( think SUB)? and this area is very ___
Suublingual is the floor of the mouth is very permeable to the system
Where is the ventral surface of the tounge ?
is it more or less permeable , is abosorption faster than chewing
right under the tounge is the vental surface and is most permeable has fast absorbtion ( remember how u take B-12)
Strisfied squamous eptithelium is mostly _____ in the oral cavity
NON keratinized !
on the outside of the lip you will find
hair and sweat glands
Red Portion of the lip has high proportion of ? and you will NOT find __ in this zone
what is the red portion of the lip aka
Think RED = blood
dermal capilaries
vermillion zone think millions of cappilaries
You will NOT FIND hair or sweatglands
Vermillion Zone is the transition between
Keratinized (EXTERNAL Surface and NONkeratinized (INTERNAL Surface)
Think verMILlion-MIDDLE
The External portionof the lip is
skin, squamous straified epithelium , hair and sweet glands
Internal surface of the lip is typical ___
the __ is tehterered to underlying ___
oral Mucosa
the mucosa is tehterered to underlying MUSCLE at intervals
the three major salivory glands are?
Their main funtion is to
- PArotid( secretory ducts into the vestibule)
- Sublingual ( Floor of the mouth)
- Submandibular
Their main funtion is to deliver secretions into the oral cavity
The entrance to the phaynyx is guarded against bacterial invasion by the _____ring.
This ring is composed of
Tonsilar ring ; composed of lingual, pharyngeal, and palatine tonsil
The internal surface of the lip has ___ epithelium
it is also called the VESTIBULAR aspect
Stratified non keratinized also called lining mucosa
What is this image showing

histology of the lip
the internal is non keratinized
notive the sweet glands and hair follicles on the outside portion use this to identify
How many permanent teeth are there
howmany teeth in each dental quadrant
32 teeth
8 in each quadrant
How many
- Incisors
- Canine
- Premolars
- molars
Name each function
- 8 Incisors ( for cutting , single root )
- 4 Canines ( for grasping (single root )
- 8 Pre molars ( for grinding : two roots )
- Molars 12( for grining , two/three roots)
remember if counting count up and down rows
Beginning of digestion, involved in destroying food into smaller portions, Saliva does__
does chemical and enzymatic attck on food
Front teeth has single root or two root?
-single root
Incisors ( think scissors- CUTTING) : 8 for cutting ; single root
Canine for grasping : 4; single roots
Back teeth has one or two roots?
two roots
Premolars ( think before molars) : 8 for grinding, TWO ROOTS
Molars : 12 for grinind , TWO ROOTS/3
BEFORE Permanent teeth children have how many baby teeth
20 DECIDUOUS aka baby teeth
there are no decidious predcurs for molars ! thats why it is 20 since there are 12 molars !
