Test Three Oral Cavity Flashcards
Oral cavity is made up
Lips, gums, cheeks, hard palate and soft palate
What must be added to make true oral cavity
Tongue and salivary glands
Function of oral cavity
Entrance to GI tract, taste of food, mechanical breakdown of food, speech, some digestion by amylase enzymes, inhibition of microbial growth by immunoglobulins and lactoperioxidase
Carb digestion begins where
Oral cavity
Lactoperoxidase breaksdown what
Pathogens
What are the three areas of the lips
Cutaneous, red, and oral
Describe cutaneous portion of lips
Keratinized, stratified squamous, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles
Describe red area of lips
Non keratinized stratified squamous, tall vascular CT papillae, no glands
Describe oral area of lips
Non keratinized stratified squamous, vascular papillae, similar to histology of cheek, serous and mucous glands, skeletal muscle
Purpose of serous and mucous secreting glands in oral portion of lips
Lubrication for lips against teeth
Epithelium of gum
Keratinized stratified squamous
What is present in gums
Long vascular papillae
What is in the lamina propria of the gums
Dense irregular CT with course collagen fibers
Is submucosa or glands present in gums
No
Epithelium of hard palate
Keratinized stratified squamous with stratum granulosum
What is above the hard palate
Nasal cavity
Nasal cavity is lined with
Pseudostratified columnar epi with cilia
Inferior of the hard palate is
Oral cavity
Oral cavity is lined with
Stratified squamous
What is an identifying characteristic of hard palate
Bone
In anterior 1/2 of hard palate what is present
Yellow adipose
What will you see in posterior 1/2 of hard palate
Mucous glands that help lubricate food to pass down esophagus
Is long vascular CT papillae present in hard palate
Yes
The oral surface of the soft palate is covered by
Keratinized stratified squamous
The nasal surface of the soft palate is covered by
Respiratory epi
Is bone present in the soft palate
No
Describe submucosa of soft palate
Loose CT with a lot of mucous glands
What is an identifying characteristic of soft palate
Skeletal muscle
Function of saliva
Lubrication, cleans the mouth, adds moisture to food, clean surface of tongue and leave taste buds in clean state, digestive properties
Saliva is made up of
WATER, mucoproteins, immunoglobulins, carbs, ions, inorganic elements
Salivary glands are located
Outside of oral cavity
Salivary ducts form from
Secretory alveoli
What forms from the secretory alveoli
Intralobular duct
What are the two parts of the intralobular duct
Intercalated ducts and striated ducts
Intercalated ducts are lined with
Simple squamous to low columnar epithelium
