replaced by 32 permanent dvided into 20 succedaneous teeth and 12 molars
78
Q

what is the visible portion of the tooth called

A

crown

79
Q

what is the root of the tooth

A

region housed within alveolus which is the bony socket that the tooth sits in

80
Q

what is the cervix portion of the tooth

A

between crown and root

81
Q

what are the 3 substances the teeth are composed of

A

enamel, dentin and cementum

82
Q

what structure produces enamel

A

ameloblasts

83

A

gelatinous CT pulp

85
Q

what is the apical foramen of the tooth

A

a passage for blood and lymph and nerves

86

collagen type I

89

anterior

stratified spumous epitheluim cornfield with dense irregular CT

91

serous and seromucous glands as well as muscular tissue

96
Q

what are the functions of the uvula

A

help in speech and also to prevent reflux into nasal cavity during swallowing

extrinsic muscles and intrinsic

98
Q

what are the intrinsic mm of the tongue

A

superior longitudinal
inferior longitudinal
vertical
transverse

99
Q

why are the inferior longitudinal m shorter than ithe superior in the tongue

A

because the root of the tongue takes alot of space

100

A

mucous- glands of nuhn

serous- von ebners

101
Q

what are the regions of the tongue

A

anteriore 2/3
posterior 1/3
separated by sulcus terminalis that has the foramen cecum

102
Q

what covers the surface of the anterior 2/3s

A

lingual papillae

103
Q

what are the 4 types of lingual papillae and wehre they are found

A

filiform papillae dorsolateral
fungiform to the dorsal surface
circumvallate anterior to sulcus terminale
foliate dorsal

104
Q

what is the structure of the filiform papillae of the tongue

A

slender partially velvet appearance
stratified squamous cornified epithelium
function to scrape food off surface
do not have taste buds

105
Q

describe fungiform papillae

A

look like mushroom
covered in stratified squamous non cornfield with red dots from subepithelial capillaries
do have taste buds on the dorsal aspect

106
Q

describe circumvallate papillae

A

8-12 in V shape surrounded by epithelial lined groove
hace von ebner salivary glands into groove
tast buds are within the epithelium of the groove, not on the dorsum

107
Q

describe foliate papillae

A

along posterolateral aspect in vertical furrows with functional taste buds as a neonate
slender ducts of serous minor glands empty into base of furrows located near core of tongue

108
Q

when do the foliate taste buds disappear

A

2nd or 3rd year

109
Q

what are taste buds

A

intraepithelial sensory organs

110
Q

describe shape of taste buds

A

60-80 spindle shaped cells with a pore than opens onto squamous epithelium overlying taste bud

111
Q

what are the 3 types of cells found in taste buds

A

gustatory
sustentacular
basal cells (progenitors)

112
Q

describe the general structure of the cells found on taste buds

A

long slender microvilli called taste hairs

113
Q

which taste bud cell is responsible for regeneration

A

basal

114
Q

what are the 5 primary taste sensaions and divide them into 2 mechanisms

A

ion channels: salty and sour

membrane R: sweet bitter and savory (umami)

115
Q

the nerve fibers that enter the taste bud synapse on what type of cell

A

gustatory

116
Q

how many tastes can one individual taste bud detect

A

one
