Study Notes
-
Lingual glands are minor salivary glandslocated on the tongue.
-
Submucosa and non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium cover the ventral face of the tongue.
-
Keratinized stratified squamous epithelium covers the dorsal face directly, without a submucosa layer.
-
Papillae on the dorsal face of the tongue have elevations and are morphologically divided into filiform, fungiform, circumvallate, and foliate types.
-
Filiform papillae are abundant, serve to detach food, lack taste buds, and are lined by a keratinized stratified squamous epithelium.
-
Fungiform papillae are shaped like mushrooms, are scattered among filiform papillae, have taste buds, are lined by non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium, and have a variety of functions and distributions in different species.
-
Circumvallate papillae are rare, calyx-shaped, and submerged in the surface of the tongue, surrounded by the annular groove, and have taste buds and excretory ducts of serous glands.
-
Von Ebner glands are minor salivary glands located at the base of the circumvallate papillae.
-
Taste buds are intraepithelial sensory organs found on the lateral faces of papillae, containing elongated cells, microvilli, synaptic junctions with nerve fibers, and are responsible for sensing flavors.
-
Teeth are highly mineralized structures in the oral cavity, consisting of enamel, dentin, and cementum.
-
Enamel is the hardest substance in the body, made up of hydroxyapatite, and is synthesized by ameloblasts.
-
Dentin is the second hardest tissue in the body, made up of 70% minerals, and is synthesized by odontoblasts.
-
Cementum is slightly modified bone tissue, made up of lamellae, and is synthesized by cementocytes.
-
Animals have two types of teeth: brachydont and hypsodont.
-
Brachydont teeth have a crown and root, while hypsodont teeth lack a crown and root but have an elongated body.
-
The enamel layer extends throughout the entire body and almost to the tip of the root in hypsodont teeth.
-
Lingual glands are minor salivary glandslocated on the tongue.
-
Submucosa and non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium cover the ventral face of the tongue.
