Quiz 1 Flashcards
Characteristics of masticatory mucosa
Keratizined Stratified Squamous Epithelium Dorsum of tongue, hard palate, and attached gingiva They also have rete pegs
Characteristics of lining mucosa
Non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium Buccal mucosa (cheeps) and Labial mucosa (lips)
Characteristics of specialized mucosa
Dorsum of tongue, and taste buds on lingual papillae
What are rete pegs?
They are downward thickenings of epidermis between the dermal papillae
Gingival Epithelium Diagram and Layers
Molecules and Layers of the Basement Membrane
Epithelial Tissue (outer)
-Basal Lamina
Lamina Lucida
- Laminin
- Integrins
- Entactins
- Dystroglycans
Lamina Densa
-Collagen IV
Attaching Proteins
- Collagen VII
- Fibrillin
Lamina Reticularis
-Collagen III
Electron Microscope Image of Basal Lamina
What are the four tissues of periodontium?
- Gingiva
- Attached
- Unattached (marginal, free)
- Interdental
- Cementum
- Periodontal Ligament
- Alveolar Supporting Bone
Picture of the Periodontium
Periodontium does not include:
- Enamel
- Dentin
- Pulp
- Surrounding bone of the alveolar process
Functions of the periodontium are:
- Attach (tooth support)
- Resist (forces of mastication)
- Maintain (nutritive - blood vessels provide for PDL)
- Adjust (sensory receptor for jaw positioning)
- Defend
What are the five different histological features of Gingival Epithelium?
- Keratinocytes
- Desmosomes
- Tonofilaments
- Basal Lamina
- Hemidesmosomes
What are the 4 anatomical areas of the gingiva?
- Free gingiva (marginal)
- Gingival Sulcus (sulcus = healthy, pocket = inflamed)
- Interdental Gingiva
- Attached Gingiva
Picture of Anatomic Landmarks of Gingiva: KNOW THIS
Real Image of Anatomical Areas of Gingiva:
The attached gingiva will have many rete pegs, but the alveolar mucosa will not.
Attached gingiva is keratinized while the alveolar mucosa is not.
The interdental gingiva can also be called the interdental papilla.
