Quiz 4 Flashcards
define oral mucosa
The moist mucous membrane lining
the oral cavity
what are the functions of thr oral mucosa?
Propulsion of food (bolis)
* Initiation of digestion (in saliva)
* Sensation and Secretion (pain, temp, Propreosention)
* Protection
* Protects deeper tissues
* Immune function
* Tonsils
* Forms impermeable barrier (exception: floor of the mouth)
what are the three thypes of oral mucosa?
- Masticatory mucosa (25%)( related to chewing)
- Lining mucosa (60%) most
- Specialized mucosa (taste buds 15%)
what is parakeratinized epithelium?
similar to keratinized except that superficial cells have nuclei, cytoplasm does not stain as intensely with eosin
describe masticatory mucosa
-Stratified squamous keratinized or parakeratinized epithelium
-Lamina propria ( loose CT)
-Location: Covers gingiva, hard palate (some sources include dorsal surface of the tongue)
describe the lining mucosa
-Stratified squamous non-keratinized epithelium
-Covers inner surface of lips, cheeks, soft palate, inferior surface of the tongue, floor of the oral cavity
-Connective tissue layers have elastic fibers
-Permeability: Floor of the oralcavity is thinnest epithelium with permeable cells (under the tonge)
* Sublingual medications are rapidly absorbed
describe the specialized mucosa
-Based on function of carrying taste sensation to the central nervous system
-Dorsal surface of the tongue (tastebuds are associated with lingual papillae and have a role in chemical sensation of taste)
what is this pointing to?
taste buds
what is this pointing to?
apical taste pore
what is the skin and oral mucosa of the lip
Skin: thin keratinized epithelium with hair follicles
Oral mucosa: thick liningmucosa with minor salivary glands
Mucocutaneous border (vermillion border)
-no glands, deep connective tissue papillae have blood vessels and nerves responsible for color and sensitivity
-the lack of glands is why lips may get dry
what is the gingiva
the gums
what are the two parts of the gingiva?
-The part facing the oral cavity (masticatory epithelium)
-the part facing the tooth
the gingiva facing the tooth has two parts what are they
-inner basal lamina that binds calcified tissue
-external basal lamina that binds connective tissue
2 basement membranes
what are the Four types of papilla
filiform
fungiform
circumvallate
foliate
describe the filiform papillae
keratinized projections with mechanaical function (no taste buds)
describe the fungiform papillae
mushroom-shaped with taste buds on the dorsal surface
describe the circumvallate tastebuds
large, dome-shaped structures surrounded by a moat-like invagination with numerous taste buds
descibe the folate papillae
greater number in younger individuals, many taste buds
what is this pointing to
filiform papillae
what are the lines pointing to
what is the line and arrows pointing to?
taste buds on apical
taste buds on lateral
which papille has no taste buds
filiform
where are filiform papillae located
Anterior 2/3 of the tongue
where are fungiform papillae located
Tip and two sides of tongue
where are circumvallate papillae located
In a V-shaped row just anterior to the terminal sulcus
where are foliate papillae located?
Posterior lateral surface of the tongue
how many baby teeth and grown up teeth do we have
Normally 32 permanent teeth and 20 deciduous teeth- embedded in the alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible
what are the hard tissues of the teeth
-Enamel
-Dentin
-Cementum
what is the crown?
part covered with enamel
label
describe enamel
-Acellular, avascular, nonvital/insensitive
tissue
-Derived from epithelium (ectoderm) of oral cavity
-Enamel is produced by ameloblasts become squamus (degenerate after enamel is fully formed)
desscibe dentin
-Avascular, sensitive tissue (capable of
repair)
-Forms bulk of tooth
-Dentin is produced by odontoblasts
-Closely packed dentinal tubules traverse the entire thickness and contain cytoplasmic extensions of odontoblasts
where are odontoblasts formed from
derived from neural crest cells
describe cementum
*Covers root of tooth, Avascular
* The central pulp chamber called pulp cavity:
-Richly vascularized, Abundant nerves
-Odontoblasts cell bodies
Describe the Periodontal ligament (PDL)
-Specialized connective tissue between cementum and bone
-Principal fiber groups(type I collagen fibers) insert into bone and cementum as Sharpey’s fibers
what is the function of the peridontal ligament and what amkes it unique?
- Tooth attachment/fixation and support
- Unlike typical ligaments:
- Highlycellular
- Rich blood supply
- Lots of nerves
- Collagen fibers have a high turnover rate (produced all the time
- Poor nutrition causes atrophy
why can you see vitamin c deffiency showing up in the teeth first
because of the high collagen turnover
what happens at the begining stages of tooth development
neural crest cells migrated into the mesoderm layer in the cranial region of the embryo and form ectomesenchyme
what is the Initiation phase of tooth development
A U-shaped ectoderm ridge called the primary epithelial band forms the dental lamina on upper/lower jaws
The mesenchyme of the oral cavity that has been invaded by neural crest cells is called ectomesenchyme
what stage of tooth development is this
bud stage
describe the bud stage of development
-The tooth buds grow into the underlying ectomesenchyme
-Period of cellular proliferation (rapid)
what stage of development is this?
the cap stage
describe the cap stage of oral development
-The deep surface of the bud invaginates and becomes cap shape
-enamal organ is ectoderm and gives rise to enamal
-remaining ectmesenchymal cell become dental sac
what does the enamel organ give rise to?
gives rise to
enamel
what does the dental sac give rise to?
cementum, PDL, Bone
what does the dental papilla give rise to?
gives rise to dentin
in the cap stage the enamal organ consists of what 4 components?
-outer enamel epithelium
-inner enamel epithelium
-stellate reticulum
-stratum intermedium
decribe what happens in the bell stage?
The under surface of the enamel organ deepens
* The enamel organ has four distinct regions:
1)Outer enamel epithelium
2) Stellate reticulum-mechanical role(protects dental tissues, produces signaling molecules, supports shape)
3) Stratum intermedium-flattened cells overlying inner enamel epithelium, role in producing proteins for inner enamel epithelium
* Inner dental epithelium-produces enamel
what is the cervical loop?
-Inner and outer enamel epithelium are continuous at the cervical loop
-This is where the outer epithelium bends to meet the inner epithelium
-Gives rise to the epithelium that will signal root development
what does the cervial loop give rise to?
hertwig’s rooth sheath
describe the physiological erruption that takes place in tooth development
-The dental lamina begins to degenerate as each developing tooth reaches the bell stage
-The connection to the oral cavity now requires a physiological break in the lining epithelium
-programmed cell death
describe how ameloblasts and odontoblasts form?
-Cells of the inner dental epithelium differentiate into ameloblasts and signal the differentiation of odontoblasts from cells in dental papilla
-Cells of the dental papilla will differentiate into odontoblasts and secrete predentin which becomes dentin (dentin formation always precedes enamel formation)
what is reciprical induction
back and forth signalling process
what do ameloblasts secrete?
enamel
what are dentinal tubules
Long apical processes of the odontoblasts
label
what is cementum
a thin layer of hard tissue similar to bone, covering the roots of the teeth beginning at the cervial portion of the tooth (where cervial loop was)
where does root development begin?
at the epithelial root sheath (Hertwig epithelial root sheath)
how is cementum formed
When the root dentin has formed, the ectomesenchymal cells from the dental sac differentiate into cementoblasts, and produce cementum
what forms the PDL
Fibroblasts from the dental sac begin to form the PDL
what produces alveolar bone?
oateoblasts
label
A: crown
B: enamel
C: dentin
D: pulp
E: alveolar bone
