Term
Epithelium, Basal Lamina, Loose Connective Tissue
Definition
Name the three parts of the oral mucosa:
Term
Buccal Mucosa
Definition
-the mucosa of the cheek
Term
Labial Mucosa
Definition
- mucosa of the lips
Term
Palatine Mucosa
Definition
- the mucosa of the palate
Term
Lingual Mucosa
Definition
- the mucosa of the tongue
Term
Nonkeratinized epithelium of the oral cavity
Definition

- all its cells have nuclei in all its layers

- all of it is alive

Term
Parakeratinized Epithelium of the oral cavity
Definition
-some of its cells have nuclei, and some are anucleate
Term
Otrhokeratinized epithelium of the oral cavity
Definition
- all of its cells are anucleate, and they are all dead
Term
lining, masticatory
Definition

The soft palate has a ______ mucosa, but the hard palate has a __________ mucosa.

Term
Nonkeratinized Epithelium
Definition

If the labial mucosa is classified as a lining mucosa, what type of epithelium does it have?

Term
Minor Labial Gland
Definition
- There are salivary glands in the lamina propria of the labial mucosa. What is the classification of these salivary glands?
Term

Mixed Seromucous Gland

-some secrete proteins and some mucins

Definition
- What do the salivary glands in the labial mucosa secrete?
Term
Filiform
Definition
- Which lingual papillaw does not have any taste buds?
Term
Fungiform
Definition
- Which lingual papillae would be seen as small red dots on the tongue?
Term
Circumvallate
Definition
- Which lingual papillae are the largest in the oral cavity?
Term

Circumcallate

Definition
-Which lingual papillae are associated with the serous gland of von Ebner?
Term
Oral Vestibule
Definition

- the space between the lips and the teeth

- the area outside of the teeth

Term
Oral Cavity Proper
Definition
- the area inside of the teeth
Term
Oral competence
Definition
- the ability to hold food and saliva in the mouth without drooling
Term
deglutition
Definition
(swallowing)
Term
startified squamous epithelium
Definition

Epithelium with basal lamina

Term
Epithelial cell
Definition
- cell with similar cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix proteins and adhesion mechanisms as epidermis
Term
Desmosomes
Definition
- hold keratinocytes together
Term
hemidesmosomes
Definition
- attach keratinocytes to the basal lamina
Term
melanocytes
Definition

- morphologically similar to epidermal melanocytes

-produce and secrete melanin

Term
Nonkeratinized epithelium
Definition

- cells have nuclei in all layers on the epithelium

(type of stratified squamous epithelium)

Term
Parakeratinized epithelium
Definition
- in the upper layers of the epithelium, some cells have their nuclei and some cells are anucleate
Term
Orthokeratinized epithelium
Definition

- epithelium that is the most similar to the skin.

-the upper layers consist of anucleate cells filled with thick bundles of keratin proteins.

Term
Connective Tissue
Definition
- cells and extracellular matrix containing collagen type I and elastic fibers
Term
Submucosa
Definition

- a layer of connective tissue underneath the lamina propria

- attached to muscle

 

Term
lining mucosa
Definition

- has nonkeratinized startified squamous epithelium and a protective and nonspecific defence function

Term
Masticatory mucosa
Definition

- has parakeratinized or orthokeratinized startified squamous epithelium

- functions in protection against frictional and shearing forces (forces of chewing)

Term
Specialized mucosa
Definition

- has papillaw, taste buds, and keratinized stratified squamous epithelium and is specialized for the sense of taste

- on dorsal side of tongue

Term
Hard Palate
Definition

- lined with masticatory mucosa

- the lamina propria is attached to the bones of the maxilla

Term
Soft Palate
Definition

- has a lining mucosa

-nonkeratinized stratified squaous epithelium

-the submucosa contains palatine minor salivary glands.

-these glands are all mucous secreting

Term
red border
Definition

- juncion of dry outer sin and moist inner oral mucosa

- keratinized epithelium with deep rete pegs

- doesnt have any glands

Term
labial mucosa
Definition

- a moist epithelium classified as a lining mucosa

Term
serous glands of von Ebner
Definition
-serous secreting minor salivary glands associated specifically with cincumvallate papillae
Term
filiform papillae
Definition

- most numerous type of papillae on the dorsal surface of the anterior 2/3 of the tongue

-NO taste buds

-function is mainly mechanical

- no gland

Term
- Fungiform papillae
Definition

- mushroom shaped papillae interspaced between filliform

-has some taste buds on surface

-no gland

Term
Foliate papillae
Definition

- ridiges on the lateral margins of the posterior part of the tongue

- taste buds present

- no gland

Term
circumvallate papillae
Definition

- located just anterior to the sulcus terminals

-largest papillae

- has 100s of taste buds

- function in taste sensation

- has a gland known as of von Ebner

Term

posterior 1/3 of the tongue

Definition

- no lingual papillae or taste buds

- lingual minor salivary glands

Term
ventral tongue
Definition

- the lamina propria directly attached to the muscles of the tongue
