Q

What is the dental lamina?

A

It is the “internal limb” that is formed when the primordium forms into a bifid structure

(The external limb goes on to separate the lip from the rest of the oral cavity, however the dental lamina goes on to help the teeth form)

Q

State the function of odontoblasts and how they carry out this function (include increment lines

A

Odontoblasts: form the dentin matrix throughout the life of the tooth and form a single layer of cells lining the pulp cavity

Tome’s dentinal fibers (odontoblastic processes) are cytoplasmic extensions of odondoblasts that lie through the predentin and dentinal layers to the dentin-enamel junction (occupy the denitinal tubules)

(Have increment lines (of ebner and Owen))

Q

State the function of Ameloblasts and how they carry out this function (include Tome’s processes and increment lines)

A

Ameloblasts: form enamel (covers only the tooth crown) which is the hardest substance in the body

is 96% organic salts, 90% is Calcium phosphate in the form of apatite crystals and 4% organic matter and water

Enamel is laid down in prisms and each prism is formed by one ameloblast

Tomes’ processes are the secreting apical domains that lay down the rods/inner rods of enamel

Q

State the 2 types of taste cells and where each of them are derived from (describe the “support cell”)

A

Sustentacular cells and Taste cells

both derived from a single stem cell

Sustentacular cells: spindle-shaped support cells and arrange like barrel-staves to surround the inner taste pore at the base

22
Q

Describe Taste cells in terms of it’s nucleus, the “outer taste pore”, apical structures, basal portion function, and their distribution in relation to sustentacular cells

A

Taste cells: each cell is long and slender with an elongated central nucleus and terminates as a short taste hair which projects into the external opening (outer taste pore)

Have apical microvilli with taste receptors

Basal part of cell releasees neurotransmitters

Taste cells are distributed between the supporting cells

23
Q

Put the following layers of the gut tube in order beginning with the innermost layer

Muscularis externa

mucosa

submucosa

outermost layer

A

Mucosa (composed of epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosae)

submucosa

muscularis externa (composed of an inner circular layer and an outer longitudinal layer)

outermost layer (composed of serosa and adventitia)

24
Q

What type of epithelium can be found in the mucosa?

A

stratified squamous transitioning to simple columnar

25
Q

What is the lamina propria portion of the mucosa layer of the gut tube composed of?

A

Lamina propria: loose areolar CT associated with epithelium

Contains various glands and GALT (gut-associated lymphoid tissue)

26
Q

describe the layers of the muscularis mucosa layer of the mucosa of the gut tube

A

Muscularis mucosa: made up of one to three layers of smooth muscles

27
Q

Describe what comprises the submucosa. What important nervous system structure does this tissue contain? (be specific)

A

Submucosa: vascularized dense, irregular CT

Contains a nerve plexus (Meissner’s plexus (submucosal plexus))
Part of the “interic NS” which interacts with autonomic NS

28
Q

Where does the Myenteric (Auerbach’s) nerve plexus lie? what is it’s function?

A

between the inner circular layer and the outer longitudinal layer of the muscularis mucosa

it functions to stimulate the muscle layers to control the lumen/muscle movement of the gut tube

29
Q

what specific muscular movements are the 2 layers of the muscularis mucosa responsible for? ( Circular layer of smooth muscle and the Longitudinal layer of smooth muscle)

A

Circular layer of smooth muscle: regulates the size of the lumen
