Study Notes
Histology of Oral Cavity and Esophagus
- The epithelium in the oral cavity is stratified squamous.
- The lips consist of three regions: cutaneous, red, and oral mucosa.
- The oral mucosa region is continuous with mucosa of cheeks and gums.
- The oral cavity has three types of mucosa: lining, masticatory, and specialized.
- Lining mucosa is stratified squamous, resistant to trauma.
- Masticatory mucosa is in the gingiva and hard palate.
- Specialized mucosa is on the dorsal surface of the tongue.
- The esophagus is a tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
- The esophagus has a stratified squamous epithelium.
Structures in Oral Cavity
- Lip: stratified squamous epithelium
- Tongue: stratified squamous, no keratinized layer
- Palate salivary glands: present
- Teeth
- Esophagus
Oral Cavity
- Vestibule/buccal cavity: bounded by lips and cheeks, teeth and gums inside.
- Oral cavity proper: extends from behind teeth to throat.
- Lining mucosa: stratified squamous, resistant to trama.
- Masticatory mucosa of gingiva and hard palate.
- Specialized mucosa, dorsal surface of tongue.
Lip
- Consists of three regions: cutaneous, red, and oral mucosa.
- Cutaneous region: thin skin, keratinized, hair follicles, sebaceous and sweat glands.
- Red region: stratified squamous epithelium, supported by tall papillae, containing blood vessels.
- Oral mucosa region: continuous with mucosa of cheeks and gums, stratified squamous, non-keratinized.
Tonsils
- Consists of lymphatic nodules clustered around posterior opening of oral and nasal cavities.
- Tonsillar ring (Waldeyer's ring): palatine, tubal, and lingual tonsils.
- Palatine tonsils: posterior to auditory tube opening.
- Pharyngeal tonsils/adenoids: roof of nasopharynx.
- Lingual tonsils: base of the tongue.
Tongue
- Dorsal surface divided into anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 by sulcus terminalis.
- Apex of V is foramen cecum.
- Filiform papillae
- Fungiform papillae
- Circumvallate papillae
- Foliate papilla (lateral posterior part)
- Lateral taste buds
Taste Buds
- Taste buds are embedded in papillae on tongue.
- Taste bud has supporting and taste cells and sensory nerves.
- Saliva cleans away excess taste and allows for perception of new tastes.
- Different papillae detect different tastes (circumvallate for bitter, fungiform for sweet and lateral, filiform for salty).
Salivary Glands
- Parotid: pure serous
- Submandibular: mixed
- Sublingual: mixed.
- Connective tissue septa divide glands into lobules.
- Acini form secretory units.
- Myoepithelial cells surround acinar cells.
Secretory Portions of Salivary Glands
- Serous cell: protein and polysaccharide secretion, single, round, basally located nucleus, well-developed GER & Golgi, basal mitochondria, abundant secretory granules.
- Mucous cell: pyramidal shape, flattened nucleus, less extensive GER. greater Golgi, basal infoldings, interdigitating with neighboring cells.
Palate
- Hard palate separates oral from nasal cavities and is a bony plate with mucosa above and below (respiratory and oral).
- Soft palate: continues from hard palate, acts as valve, depressing it closes the oropharyngeal isthmus, elevating it separates nasopharynx from oropharynx.
Esophagus
- Carries food from mouth to stomach with stratified squamous nonkeratinized epithelium.
- Mucosa has a thinner lamina propria.
- Esophagus muscularis mucosa is noticeably thicker than that in the stomach.
- Connective tissue in submucosa more fibrous and less cellular
Tooth
- Gingiva and mature tooth have gingival epithelium with tall dermal papillae.
- Position of enamel, sulcus, and alveolar bone.
- Tooth is inserted into alveolar bone by periodontal ligament.
- Dentin, cementum.
- Development stages of teeth (bud, cap, bell stages).
- Enamel, dentin, and pulp cavity.
- Periodontal ligament, alveolus, cemento-enamel junction.
Additional Notes
- Specific cell types (e.g., serous, mucous, plasma cells) in various structures (e.g., salivary glands) are mentioned throughout the notes.
- Terminology like "lamina propria," "submucosa," "muscularis mucosa," etc. are used to describe different tissue layers in various organs.
- Microscopic structures and orientations of different tissues and cells are indicated through diagrams.
