Outer thin skin has what
Hair follicles, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands
The vermillion border is where the skin change from…
Transitional zone between skin and oral mucosa
The vermillion border is lined by what epithelium

Two parts of the tongue are known as
Anterior (oral) tongue 2/3 and posterior (pharyngeal) 1/3
What are the four types of papillae on the anterior tongue
Filiformes - entire dorsal of tongue (top)
Fungi form
Circunvalent
Foliate
What are the two lingual papillae

Fungi form mushroom shaped, near tip of tongue

The Auerbach plexus is found where
Between the two layers of muscularis externa
Two glands in the esophagus and what they produce
Superficial glands - produce neutral mucin
Submucosal glands - produce acidic mucin
Where the esophagus meets the stomach
The z line - change from nonkerat strat sqam to simple columnar epi
