Found on the head bounded anteriorly by lips; posteriorly by pharynx,
laterally by cheeks, superiorly by palate
ORAL CAVITY
bounded by the lips anteriorly, the cheeks internally and the labial or buccal surfaces of the lower and upper teeth at the posterior.
Oral vestibule
bounded by lingual surfaces of upper and lower teeth
anteriorly and laterally hard and soft palate superiorly and sublingual sulcus
and the tongue inferiorly.
Oral cavity proper
bounded by lingual surfaces of upper and lower teeth
anteriorly and laterally hard and soft palate superiorly and sublingual sulcus
and the tongue inferiorly.
Oral cavity proper
Are structures functionally, associated with the oral cavity.
Para – Oral Tissues
The 6 different para oral structures are
a. Lips
b. Cheeks
c. Hard and soft palate
d. Sublingual sulcus
e. Tongue
f. Tonsils
g. Salivary grands
h. Teeth and the supporting structures
he largest organ in the mouth located in the floor of the cavity.
Tongue
three parts of the tongue
Tip (apex)
Body (Corpus)
Base (root)
are numerous fine, pointed, cone-shaped or cub- shaped structure about 2.5mm long
consisting of core of connective tissue.
Filiform papilla
are mushroom-shaped or round reddish prominences about 1.5mm long with dome-
shaped top and narrow base processing one or more taste buds
Fungiform papillae
are narrow mucosal folds bilaterally located along the posterior
border of the body about 4 to 8 in number and bear taste buds. These are well-
developed at birth and becomes atrophied in matured individua
Foliate papillae
are the largest papilla at about 1mm or more the
height is 2.5mm or more in width and 8-10 in numbers arranged in V-shape manner
vallate (circumvallate) papillae
shaped intraepithelial organs for taste perception
about 80 microris in height and 40 microns in width. T
Taste Buds
(gustatory cells , neuro-epithelial cells) are slender columnar dark staining cells
(hyperchromatic) and elongated nuclei,4 to 20 in number per bud and possess stiff hair like
processes (taste hair) projecting from free surface into the taste pore.
Taste cells
(supporting cells). These are the outer cells arranged like staves
of barrel with ovoid or round hypo chromatic nuclei.
Sustentacular cells
