sulcus
hard calcified tissue covering the anatomical crown of the tooth
Enamel
hard calcified tissue that makes up the bulk of the tooth
Dentin
hard calcified tissue covering the root of the tooth
Cementum
unmineralized oral tissue composed of soft connective tissue
pulp
found in the space called pulp cavity
pulp tissue
Pulp chamber
crown
pulp canal
root
masticatory mucosa lining the alveolar bone which surrounds the cervical portion of the teeth
Gingiva
Epithelium of Gingiva
keratinized squamous epithelium
part of jaw that holds the teeth, supports the roots of the teeth and keeps them in place.
Alveolar bone
Alveolar bone is also called
Alveolar process
hard calcified tissue covering the root of the tooth
Cementum
soft connective tissue embedded between the cementum and the inner wall of the alveolar bone socket to help support the teeth
Periodontal ligament
Part of the immune system that can stop germs from entering the body through the mouth or the nose
tonsils
Contains a lot of white blood cells which are responsible for killing germs
tonsils
Facilitates movement of food during mastication and assisting swallowing
tongue
A part of the tongue that is velvety texture in appearance
Lingual papilla
divides the dorsum of the tongue into symmetrical halves
Median Lingual Sulcus
mucous membrane lining the inside of the mouth on the ventral surface
Lining mucosa
Epithelium of the lining mucosa
non-keratinized stratified squamous
anterior, most numerous, no taste buds, tactile sensation, extension
Filiform Papillae
anterior, sweet and salty taste, extension
Fungiform Papillae
lateral, w/ depression, sour taste, has a slit
Foliate Papillae
least numerous, mushroom, bitter taste (medicine), has crypts (can accumulate food/bacteria that can cause infections)
Circumvallate/Vallate Papillae
separates anterior and posterior parts of the tongue
Sulcus Terminalis
found in the epithelium, cheek, soft palate, epiglottis, upper surface of the tongue
taste buds
synthesis and secretion of pore substances, has taste pores
TYPE I – Taste / Dark Cells
type o f taste buds that has an unknown function
TYPE II – Supporting / Light Sustentacular Cells
responsible for perception of taste
TYPE III – Intermediate Cells
A taste bud that is responsible for replacing / replenishing other cells
TYPE IV – Basal cells
A Non-keratinized squamous epithelium and horizontally aligned U-shaped situated in the part of the oral cavity that lies beneath the tongue
Floor of the Mouth
secures the tongue to the bottom of the mouth
Lingual Frenulum
largest Salivary gland that is located just in front of the ears, saliva produced is secreted into the mouth from a duct near the upper second molar
Parotid gland
located below the jaw. the saliva produced is secreted into the mouth from under the tongue.
Submandibular gland
smallest salivary gland located under the floor of the mouth and below either side of the tongue.
sublingual gland
