true
T/F col is usually not found when adjacent teeth do not touch each other
true
gingival epithelium is joined to the underlying connective tissue by a
basal lamina
Ridges of epithelium are called
rete pegs
The process of keratinization occurs as
the keratinocyte migrates from the basal layer to the surface
when the epithelium shows signs of being keratinized, but the superficial cells still have their nuclei
parakeratinized
langerhan cells system?
phagocytic system
Merkel cell system
tactile sensitivity- contain nerve endings
Outer gingival epithelium is also known as
oral epithelium
what makes up oral epithelium?
attached gingiva, papillae, and outer surface of the free gingiva
oral epitheliums function and keratinization
protective and parakeratinized
sulcular epithelium
thin nonkeratinized/parakeratinized
from outer epithelium into the gingival sulcus
sings of a healthy sulcus
smooth/intact no rete pegs
junctional epithelium seperates
pdl from oral environment
