XI - Digestive Tract Flashcards
Tongue Papillae: thin, long, “V”-shaped cones, increased keratinization
filliform
Tongue Papillae: most abundant, no taste buds, no gustatory function, mechanical
filliform
Tongue Papillae: mushroom-shaped, lightly keratinized, interspersed among filliform papillae
fungiform
Tongue Papillae: mostly at the apex and sides of the tongue, innervated by the facial nerve
fungiform
Tongue Papillae: 8-12 in number, largest, near sulcus terminalis
circumvallate
Tongue Papillae: associated with salivary (Von Ebner’s) glands and taste buds, innervated by CN IX
circumvallate
Tongue Papillae: ridges and grooves towards the posterior part of the roof of the mouth on lateral margins
foliate
Tongue Papillae: innervated by facial nerve (anterior papillae) and glossopharyngeal nerve (posterior papillae), rudimentary in humans
foliate
Epithelial cells of the tongue
stratified squamous
Tongue Innervation: anterior 2/3 - somatic
CN V (Trigeminal)
Tongue Innervation: taste
CN VII (Facial)
Tongue Innervation: posterior 1/3 - somatic and taste
CN IX (Glossopharyngeal)
Tongue Innervation: motor
CN XII (Hypoglossal)
Only muscle of the tongue not innervated by the hypoglossal (XII) nerve
palatoglossus (CN X - Vagus)
Parotid Gland: Secretion
serous, α-amylase, proline-rich proteins
Parotid Gland: Type
branched acinar
Parotid Gland: Innervation
CN IX (Glossopharyngeal)
Submandibular Gland: Secretion
serous > mucous, produces 2/3 of saliva, α-amylase, proline-rich proteins, other enzymes
Submandibular Gland: Type
branched tubuloacinar with serous demilunes
Submandibular Gland: Innervation
CN VII (Facial)
Sublingual Gland: Secretion
mucous > serous, mucin, amylase, lysozyme
Sublingual Gland: Type
branched tubuloacinar
Sublingual Gland: Innervation
CN VII (Facial)
70% of saliva is produced by
submandibular gland
