food converted into absorbable substances, happens “outside” body

What are the functions of the oral cavity
ingestion, mastication, deglutition
what are the functions of the alimentary canal
deglutition
digestion
absorption
elimination
What are the anterior and psoterior borders of the mouth
anterior are the lips and posterior is the palatoglossal folds
describe the wall of the oral cavity
lined by a mucosa composed of stratified squamous non cornified epithelium with underlaying CT
what parts of the oral cavity have a partially cornified to completely cornified area
lips, gingiva and hard palate
What are the 3 main salivary glands
parotid
submandibular
sublingual
what type of secretion is the parotid gland?
submandibular?
sublingual?
parotid is serous
submandibular is mixed serous and mucous
sublingual is largely mucous
what is the role os salivary amylase
break down carbohydrates
what enzymes are found in saliva
salivary amylase
lactoferrin and lysozymes
secretory Ig
what is lactoferrin and lysozymes good for
antibacterial agents
what is the main Ig found in oral cavity
IgA
where are the extra minor salivary glands found
CT elements of oral mucosa
which salivary gland is the biggest
parotid
what is the structure of the parotid gland
tubulo acinar gland
what is a defining characteristic of the parotid gland
adipose tissue in the gland
what is the primary product of the parotid gland
salivary amylase
Which gland accounts for majority of saliva
the submandibular
how do submandibular gland cells look on histo
serous demilunes are the secreting cells
what do submandiblar glands secrete
salivary amylase and mucins via serous cells and mucous cells
describe characterristics of sublingual glands
many more mucous cells than submandibular still some serous demilunes
What are the three layers of the lips
external, vermillion and internal
describe the vermillion zone of lips
pink region with extensive dermal papillae to increase SA and many many capillary loops
devoid of hair and sweat glands
what gives lips their color
vermillion area
describe the vermillion zone of lips
pink region with extensive dermal papillae to increase SA and many many capillary loops
devoid of hair and sweat glands
