Final Exam Chapter 7 Flashcards
(154 cards)
Where is masticatory mucosa found
Gingiva and hard pallate
What is the surface epithelium of the masticatory mucosa
Keritinized or parakeritinized stratified squamos epithelium
What do superficial cells of parakeritinized stratified squamos epithelium keep
Their nuclei
What are the 2 parts of the lamina propria for oral mucosa
Papillary layer and reticular layer
What type of connective tissues are located in the lamina propria
Papillary later = thick loose ct, reticular layer = more dense ct
What does the papillary layer of the lamina propria contain
Blood vessels, nerves, sensory receptors, some Meissner’s corpuscles
Where is lining mucosa found
On soft palate, underside of tongue, floor of mouth, cheeks, and lips
What is the surface eptihelium of the lining mucosa
Generally nonkeritinized stratified squamos epithelium, occasionally parakeratinized stratified squamos epi.
What is the surface epithelium of the lips/vermillion border
Keratinized stratified squamos epi
What is the difference between the areas of non keratinized and keratinized within the lining mucosa
Areas of nonkeratinized stratified squamos epi is thicker than the areas of keratinized stratified squamos epi
What is the lamina propria like for the lining mucosa
Loose ct with blood vessels
What type of CT is the submucosa made of in the lining mucosa and what can they contain
More dense CT, can have minor salivary glands,sabaecceous glands (corner) larger blood vessels and nerves too
What are the three types of oral mucosa
Masticatory mucosa, lining mucosa, specialized mucosa
Where is specialized mucosa found
On dorsal surface of tongue
What is the surface epithelium of the specialized mucosa
- Keratinized strat. Squamos on filiform papillae
2. Strat squamos on all other papillae
What are 2 functions of specialized mucosa
Move food and taste
What is the thickness of the tongues mucosa like
Thicker dorsally, thinner and smoother posteriorly
What type of glands are associated with the vallate papillae of the tongue
Small salivary (von Ebner) glands
What do small salivary (von Ebner) glands do
Produce serous fluid to cleanse the taste buds on the vallate papillae
Where are taste buds located
On all papillae except filiform papillae
What is the lamina propria like in the mucosa of the tongue
Loos ct, adipose possible
What does the submucosa of the tongue contain
Lingual salivary glands to produce prodcuts like major salivary glands
What is special about intrinsic tongue muscle
No external attachement
What is the arrangement of the intrinsic tongue muscles
Dorsal to post
- superior longitudinal muscle
- vertical muscles alternating with transverse muscles
- inferior longitudinal muscle
