| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is an oral mucosa? | Covering of a body cavity that is open to the outside of the body. |
| Tissue Components of Oral Muscosa | Surface epithelium & lamina propria |
| Oral Mucosa Basic Organization | Surface Epithelium + Lamina Propria Submucosa |
| Functions of Oral Mucosa | Protection Secretions Sensory Thermoregulation |
| Types of Oral Mucosa | Masticatory Mucosa Lining Mucosa Specialized Mucosa |
| Demosomes | Forms cell to cell junctions. Mechanically attaches between adjacent epithlial cells. |
| Hemidesmosomes | Half of a desmosome. Mechanically attaches epithelial cells and non-cellular surfaces. |
| Intermediate/Gap Junctions | Communicating junctions that allow cells of a tissue to commuinicate with each other. They do not stick to each other. |
| Tight Junction | To adjacent cell fuse together but do not allow the materials through spaces. |
| Basement Membrane | Holds to the underlying CT of the lamina propria.It has two components: Basal Lamina & Recticular Lamina |
| Basal Lamina | Product of basal cells of epithelium |
| Recticular Lamina | Product of connenctive tissue cells in lamina propria call fibroblasts. |
