Q

What’s are the functions of oral mucosa

A
  • protection against mechanics,abrasive and microbial threats
    -sensation-touch,temperature, taste, thirst and pain
  • secretion -minor salivary glands and limited sebaceous glands
  • absorption -sublingual dissolving drugs
  • thermal regualtion - only in animals not humans
