Q

What type of oral mucosa contains papillae and taste buds?

A

Oral specialized mucosa

17
Q

What type of epithelium makes up oral specialized mucosa?

A

Keratinized epithelium

18
Q

What lingual papillae do not contain taste buds?

A

Filiform papillae

19
Q

What is the function of the filiform papillae?

A

Move food towards pharynx for swallowing

Give dorsal surface of tongue velvety texture

20
Q

What structure is this?

A

Filiform papillae

21
Q

What structure is this?

A

Q

What structure is this?

A

Q

What structure is this?

A

Circumvallate Papillae

25
What type of lingual papillae are few in number, located posteriorly, with hundreds of taste buds?
Circumvallate papillae
26
Taste buds are located in what layer in structures that are not part of the tongue?
Mucosa (of glossopalatine arch, soft palate, posterior surface of epiglottis, posterior wall of pharynx)
27
What is the role of neuroepithelial cells in the taste buds?
Elongated cells extending from basal lamina of epithelium to the taste pore Synapse with afferent sensory neurons of CN VII, IX, or X
28
What structure is this?
Taste bud
29
What sensations do the taste buds on the palate primarily detect?
