orbicularis oris
Which oral cavity mucosa has tall papillae? which has shorter?
tall papillae: masticatory mucosa
short papillae: lining mucosa
What divides the tongue into 2 regions? what are those regions called?
sulcus terminalis divides tongue into papillary and tonsillar regions
Name the 4 types of lingual papillae. which ones have taste buds?
filiform, fungiform, circumvallate, foliate

fungiform, circumvallate and foliate have TBs
which type of lingual papillae has a mechanical role? which are keratinized?
filiform - mechanical

fungiform - keratinized sse
Which type of lingual papillae has von Ebners glands? What are von Ebner's glands?
circumvallate, they are lingual salivary glands

umami
what tastes are circumvallate glands receptive to?
bitter and umami
What glands constitute the major salivary glands and what types of acini make up each one?
Parotid: serous
Submandibular: mixed, mostly serous
Sublingual: mixed, mostly mucous
which type of major salivary gland contains secretory zymogen granules?
parotid gland (secretes amylase)
What is the pathway from the ascini to the oral cavity in the parotid glands?
ascini --> intercalated ducts --> striated ducts --> secretory/excretory/interlobular ducts --> oral cavity
What do the intercalated ducts in the parotid gland secrete?
secrete bicarbonate, absorb chloride
(simple cuboidal)
What do the striated ducts of the parotid glands do?
secrete K+
resorb Na+
(low columnar)
What do the excretory/interlobular ducts do?
connect to oral cavity
(pseudostratified columnar)
what kind of ducts are found in the submandibular glands?
long striated ducts
what kind of ducts are found in the sublingual glands?
poorly developed intercalated ducts and striated ducts
What kinds of glands are the minor glands and what kind of ducts do they have?
mostly mucous (some serous), w short ducts
Where are the minor glands located?
submucosa of palates, tongue, lips, cheek
What is the antibacterial aspect of saliva? what provides the immunologic protection?
antibacterial: lysozyme
immunologic: plasma cells --> IgA

20 baby, 32 permanent w wisdom teeth (28 w/o)
what is the anatomical crown? clinical crown?
anatomical: all parts covered by enamel
clinical: parts covered by enamel above the gum
what is the root of the tooth?
all the parts below the enamel covered portions. is anchored in alveolar bone
what makes up the bulk of the tooth?
dentin
what cells produce dentin?
odontoblasts
where are odontoblasts located in the tooth?
in the dental pulp
What covers the dentin in the crown region?
enamel
T/F enamel can be replaced
T/F dentin can be replaced
F - enamel cannot be replaced
T - dentin CAN be replaced
what produces enamel?
ameloblasts, enamel rods
What is cementum?
covering of dentin in the root region
What produces cementum?
cementocytes
what layer of the tooth can be either acellular or cellular?
cementum
what part of the tooth contains lacunae and cananiculi?
cementum
what type of tissue makes up dental pulp?
loose connective tissue
(fibroblasts, lymphocytes, collagen)
What part of the tooth contains blood vessels and nerves?
dental pulp
what are some of the fxns of dental pulp?
nutritive (to odontoblasts)
sensory (pain reception)
protective (inflammatory response)
What are Sharpey's fibers?
patches of loose CT collagen fibers and elastic between the fibers that anchors into the cementum, make up periodontal ligaments
What associated structure of the tooth is vitC dependent?
periodontal ligaments (sharpey's fibers) the collagen synthesis is vitC dependent
What are some of the fxns of the periodontal ligaments?
