Anatomy Flashcards
Salivary amylase breaks down
starch
Lingual lipase breaks down
triglycerides to fatty acid
Mucous membrane is also called
epithelium (non Keratinized)
Keratinized structures
Maxillae and palatine bone
Dorsal surface contains the taste buds and is covered by
keratinized epithelium
Ventral and lateral surfaces are lined with
non- keratinized mucous membranes
These are midline folds of tissue that anchor the tongue to the floor of the mouth and lip
Frenulum
The gingiva form a triangle of tissue called the
interdental papilla
is a freely moveable non-K mucosa that connects the freely movable tissues of the cheeks and lips to the firm gingiva
Mucogingival junction and fold
3 parts to the tooth structure are:
Crown
Neck
Root
Located in the neck region, which encompasses the junction of the crown and root near the gum line. What is called where the enamel and cementum meet?
Cementumal Enamel Junction
this tissue of the tooth covers the crown, primarily calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate?
Enamel
this consist calcified connective tissue that gives the tooth basic shape and rigidity
Dentin
Connective tissue of the tooth that contains blood vessels, nerves and lymph
pulp
What 3 tissues are a part of the attachment apparatus that covers the dentin
Cementum
Periodontal Ligament
Alveolar process
