Q

What tastes do the posterior pharynx and epiglottis register?

A

All 5 tastes

18
Q

T/F: Most sensory info that is thought of as taste is actually olfactory sensation subserved by the olfactory mucosa

A

True

19
Q

The nasal cavity is lined by what type of epithelium?

A

Pseudostratified columnar epithelium with goblet cells

20
Q

What 2 cell types are found in the nasal cavity?

A

Mast and plasmacells

21
Q

What does the lamina propria of th enasal cavity complain?

A

Serous and mucous glands to moisten inspired air and trap particulate Extensive vascular plexus (swell or cavernous bodies)

22
Q

What are the functions of the nasal mucosa?

A

Air hydration Add water vapor to inspired air Air filtration

23
Q

What is the purpose of conchae in the nasal mucosa?

A

Interrupt air flow and create turbulence. Particulate matter thrown against conchae and adheres to its moistened surface. Cilia then move mucous/matter into nasopharynx

24
Q

Where does olfactory epithelium exist?

A

Restricted to roof of nasal cavity -> upper surface of superior conchae

25
Q

What 3 cell types does olfactory epithelium contain?

A

Olfactory cells Supporting (sustentacular) cells Basal cells

26
Q

What are olfactory cells?

A

Bipolar sensory neurons that span the thickness ofthe olfactory epithelium Apical dendritic process Basal axonal process

27
Q

What are sustentacular (support) cells of the olfactory epithelium?

A

Columnar cells with oval nuclei Apical microvilli submerged in seromucous flux Light yellow pigment that gives olfactory epithelium its color

28
Q

What is the function of the sustentacular (support) cells of the olfactory epithelium?

A

Provide physical support, nourishment and electrical insulation for the olfactory cells

29
Q

What is the function of basilar cells of the olfactory epithelium?

A

GIves rise to supporting (sustentacular) and olfactory cells

30
Q

Where are basilar cells of the olfactory epithelium found?

A

Contact basal lamina but dont extend to free surface

31
Q

What type of glands are Bowman’s glands and where are they found?

A

Serous exocrine glands found in lamina propria of olfactory epithelium

32
Q

What type of lingual papillae is this?

A

Fungiform (nonkeratinized stratified squamous)

33
Q

What is the arrow pointing at and what type of lingual papillae is this?

A

Arrow is pointing at Von Ebner’s gland and this is foliate papillae

34
Q

Label all 3 and state what type of lingual papillae this is

A

The bottom arrow is a Von Ebner Gland and this is foliate papillae
