Q

How does the oral mucousa protect?

A

it serves as a barrier. protective function. The epithilum and basal lamina maintain the barrier. The LP and Submuc have immune cells present that protect.

Q

What occurs in the deep layers of epi?

A

epi is self renewing. cell division occurs in the deep layer… basal cell layers… this is where cell division takes.. place. Those cells lose connection with underlying Basal lamina and migrate to upper layers and transform and get sloughed off at the surface.
