What is the space between the lips, cheeks, and teeth?
Vestibule
What is included with the oral cavity proper?
anything behind the teeth: hard and soft palates, tongue and floor of the mouth, entrance into the oropharynx
What is the oral cavity superior?
hard and soft palates
What is included with the oral cavity proper, inferior?
tongue and floor of the mouth
What in included with the oral cavity proper, posterior?
entrance into the oropharynx
What are the two types of mucosa found in the oral cavity
Masticatory and Lining Mucosa
What mucosa includes a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium?
Masticatory Mucosa
Where is masticatory mucosa found?
Gingiva and Hard Palate
Why would you need keratinized st. sq. epithelium in the gingiva and hard palate?
because of friction when chewing = the surface is more keratinzed for protection
What type of tissue is found in lining mucosa?
NON keratinized stratified squamous epithelium
where is non kertainized st. sq. epithelium found in the oral cavity
inner lips, floor of the mouth, inferior tongue, soft palate - so you can slip things right by!
______ are elevations of mucosa found on the surface of the tongue.
papillae
What are the smallest and most numerous papillae found on the tongue?
Filiform
What papillae are conical, elongated and projections of CT with keratinized stratified sq. epithelial coverings?
Filiform papillae
T/F Filiform Papillae contain taste buds.
False
What do filiform papillae mainly provide?
friction
What papillae are taller than filiform, scattered, just visible to the naked eye, more numerous near the tip, and appear as red dots on the tongue?
Fungiform papillae
T/F fungiform papillae contain taste buds
True
Why do fungiform papillae appear as red dots on the tongue?
highly vascularized
What papillae are large, dome-shaped structures just anterior to the sulcus terminalis?
Circumvallate papillae
How many circumvallate papillae are present in humans?
8-10
What papillae is surrounded by invagination containing serous (von Ebner's) glands that flush material from the gland?
circumvallate
What purpose do the large invaginations surrounding circumvallate papillae have?
when material is flushed it allow the taste buds to respond quickly to stimuli
T/F circumvallate papillae have taste buds
True
what papillae have parallel low ridges separated by clefts?
Foliate papillae
Where are foliate papillae found on the tongue?
lateral edges of the tongue
Do foliate papillae have taste buds?
yes
T/F All papillae have taste buds
False - filiform don't have taste buds
What are found along the lateral walls of circumvallate papillae within the clefts?
taste buds
What neuroepithelial structure is oval, onion-shaped with a structure of 50-100 cells?
taste bud
how often are the neuroepithelial sensory cells replaced?
every 10 days
What is found at the surface of the taste buds?
Microvilli
The base of taste budssynapse with _______ ________ neurons of the ___,___,___nerves are found.
afferent sensory, VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), X (vagus
What 3 cells are found within a taste bud?
Supporting cell and Basal Cell, and neuroepithelial (sensory cells)
what cell within the taste bud looks similar to neuroepithelial cells but do not synapse with the neurons and turn over every 10 days?
Supporting cells
______ is a small stem cell at the base of a taste bud.
Basal Cells
What percentage of dentin is calcified material?
70%
What type of collage is richly found in predentin?
Collage I
What structure is the tooth mainly composed of?
dentin
What cells produce dentin?
odontoblasts
What is the origin of odontoblasts?
Mesenchymal - Neural Crest Cells in the dental papillae during embryological development
What are apical extension through the dentin found inside the dentinal tubules?
odontoblast processes (tomes fibers)
What is the acellular material found within teeth?
enamel
What is derived from ameloblasts?
enamel
Where do ameloblasts originate?
from ectoderm
Once enamel is formed, can it be replaced?
NO
What is enamel composed of?
rods/prisms that span the ENTIRE thickness of the enamel layer, and interrod enamel that binds the enamel rods together
What is the pulp comprised of?
Loose CT containing odontoblasts, fibroblasts, and collagen fibers
What structure in the tooth is highly vascular and has a nerve supply?
pulp
Where doe the nerve and blood supply exit/enter the tooth?
apical foramen
What is supporting the teeth and maintaining structures in the maxilla and mandible?
Periodontium
What covers root dentin?
Cementum
What cell creates cementum and what is it's embryonic origin?
Cementoblasts, mesenchymal origin
What is the periodontal ligament derived from?
mesenchyme surrounding the cementum
T/F the fibers from the periodontal ligament penetrate into the cementum
True
T/F the fibers from the periodontal ligament have a high turn-over rate
True
What is the purpose of the periodontal ligament?
bind the root to the socket and absorb the pressure (evenly distribute the pressure)
what structures are responsible for supporting teeth and maintaining structure in the bone?
cementum and periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and gingiva
what is in direct contact with the periodontal ligament?
alveolar bone
what is the specialized oral mucosa around the neck of the tooth?
gingiva (masticatory mucosa)
T/F the gingiva is firmly attached to the teeth and alveolar bone
True
what is the specialized part of the gingiva bound to the tooth enamel?
junctional epithelium
What binds the gingiva to the tooth enamel?
hemidesmosomes
what is the small deepening up to 3mm surrounding the cervix of the crown?
gingival sulcus (not bound)
what is the epithelial attachment comprised of?
hemidesmosomes and basal lamina
hemidesmsome and basal lamina bind the gingiva to the enamel is called
epithelial attachment
