unit 11 Flashcards
mucosa of the oral cavity
masticatory (gingiva and hard palate)
lining ( lips, cheeks, oral floor, ventral tongue, soft palate)
specialized (dorsal tongue - papillae and taste buds)
what is parakeratinized epithelium
transition between keratinized and nonkeratinized
you still see the presence of nuclei with keratin filament
masticatory mucosa
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
lamina propria invested CT papillae
NO muscular mucosae
what is deep to the mucosa in the masticatory mucosa
lamina propria often fused to the underlying periosteum
fatty or glandular submucosa may be present
lining mucosa
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
shallow CT papillae (lamina propria)
NO muscular mucosae
deep to the lining mucosa
densely arranged CT with elastic fibers
serous and mucous minor salivary glands
skeletal muscle of orbicularis oris and buccinator
specialized mucosa
associated with the sensation of taste via papillae and taste buds of the dorsal surface of the tongue (filiform, fungiform, vallate, foliate)
nonkeratinized or keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
filiform papillae
most common with a wide distribution
conical/thread-like
highly keratinized without taste buds
mechanical sweeping that distributes tastents across tongue surface
vallate papillae
V-shaped row anterior to sulcus terminalis
large fungiform-shaped, surrounded by a trough of serous glands for flushing
numerous taste buds per papillae
fungiform papillae
grouped along tip of tongue
rounded, mushroom shaped
apical taste buds
foliate papillae
grouped along lateral dorsal folds of mucosa
column-shaped, rows
lateral taste buds, along cleft
what makes up the anatomical crown of teeth?
enamel (Ca crystal comp, lacks collagen!)
dentin (calcified CT)
pulp cavity (loose CT and neurovasculature)
what are the primary cells associated with dentin
odontoblasts - produce dentin
odontoclasts - remove dentin
what makes up the anatomical root of a tooth?
cementum (calcified CT, covers root)
dentin (calcified CT)
root canal (extension of the pulp cavity)
mucosa of the oropharynx
nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
lamina propria
NO muscular mucosa
lamina propria of oropharynx
abundant elastic fibers and mucous glands
tonsillar lymphatic tissue (palatine and lingual)
what is deep to the oropharynx mucosa
pharyngeal constrictor
what is the common tubular alimentary architecture
mucosa (epithelium, lamina propria, muscularis mucosa)
submucosa
muscular externa
adventitia or serosa
proximal 1/3rd of voluntary esophagus
stratified squamous
lamina propria (esophageal cardiac glands)
muscular externa (skeletal muscle)
adventitia
