Oral mucosa
strat. squam. epithel (may be keratinized); lamina propria (dense, fibrous CT)
Tissue composition of oral cavity
mucosa, skel. m., adipose, salivary glands, nn.
Commonly keratinized oral mucosa areas
dental pad, dorsal tongue, hard palate, cheek
lip composition
oral mucosa, orbicularis oris, adipose, haired skin (sinus hairs, seb. glands)
mucocutaneous junction
of the lip, jxn b/w haired surface and vestibular surface
micro characteristic of sinus hairs
cavitated spaces filled with blood
tongue mucosa
strat. squam. epithel.,lingual papillae, taste buds, fibrous CT
tongue composition
mucosa, adipose, skel mm. at right angles, salivary glands, nn.
dorsal/ventral surface of tongue
kerat. strat. squam. with papilla dorsal; non-kerat. ventral
types of lingual papillae
filiform, circumvallate (aka vallate), fungiform, foliate
only mechanical papillae
filiform
micro characteristics of filiform papillae
kerat squam epithel; slender, conical; underlying CT
micro characteristics of circumvallate papillae
deep pocket with moat; taste buds on sides; CT core with n. ending; salivary gland empty into moat
micro characteristics of fungiform papillae
mushroom shaped; CT core; taste buds on dorsal surface
macro characteristics of filiform papillae
short bristles; most numerous (90%);
macro characteristics of circumvallate papillae
does not protrude above surface; most visible, least numerous; back of tongue
macro characteristics of fungiform papillae
less numerous than filiform; smaller than vallate; protrudes
micro characteristics of foliate papillae
flat top; rectangular; deep clefts on side; taste buds on side
taste buds most numerous on this papilla
circumvallate papillae
foliate papillae found in these animals
lagomorphs
components of taste buds
encapsulated; banana-shaped sensory cells, taste pores w/ u-villi (taste hairs); lamina propria
gingiva
the mucosa that immediately surrounds the tooth
papillomatosis
exophytic, hyperkeratotic masses w/hyperplastic epidermis supported by fibrovascular stroma; may regress spontaneously
cells of respiratory (or nasal) surface
ciliated columnar
