Student's last name Summary of the Oral Mucosa Type of Epithelium Mucosal Region Lip Skin aspect Vermilion zone Vestibular aspect Cheek Skin aspect Vestibular aspect Gingiva Free and attached Sulcular Junctional epithelium Alveolar Mucosa Date Height of Connective Special Comments Tissue Papillae
Explanation:
1. Each region's epithelium is one of the following types:
A. The stratified squamous epithelium of the lip skin
Stratified squamous epithelium, B. Vermilion
C. Squamous stratified epithelium on the vestibular surface
D. Stratified squamous epithelium on the cheek skin
E. Squamous stratified epithelium on the vestibular surface
F. Gingiva stratified squamous epithelium, free and attached
Stratified squamous epithelium, G. Sulcular
H. Squamous stratified epithelium junctional epithelium
I. Stratified squamous epithelium in the alveolar mucosa
2. Each region has the following connective tissue papillae:
Lip skin aspect A. Unnoticeable
B. Vermilion: indistinct
C. Visible vestibular aspect
D. Visible portion of the cheek skin
E. Visible vestibular aspect
F. Gingiva connected and free: apparent
G. Sulcular: apparent
H. Visible junctional epithelium
I. Visible alveolar mucosa
Comments;
A. The outermost layer of skin on the lips is known as the lip skin aspect. The epithelium that makes up this structure is the stratified squamous epithelium, which is made up of many layers of flattened cells. There are no papillae of connective tissue in this area.
B. The deepest layer of skin on the lips is called the vermilion. The epithelium that makes up this structure is the stratified squamous epithelium, which is made up of many layers of flattened cells. There are no papillae of connective tissue in this area.
C. The skin region next to the mouth's mucous membrane is known as the vestibular aspect. The epithelium that makes up this structure is the stratified squamous epithelium, which is made up of many layers of flattened cells. There are no papillae of connective tissue in this area.
D. The outermost layer of skin on the cheeks is known as the cheek skin aspect. The epithelium that makes up this structure is the stratified squamous epithelium, which is made up of many layers of flattened cells. There are no papillae of connective tissue in this area.
E. The skin region next to the mouth's mucous membrane is known as the vestibular aspect. The epithelium that makes up this structure is the stratified squamous epithelium, which is made up of many layers of flattened cells. There are no papillae of connective tissue in this area.
F. The portion of gum tissue that is not affixed to the teeth is known as the gingiva free and attached. The epithelium that makes up this structure is the stratified squamous epithelium, which is made up of many layers of flattened cells. In this area, it is possible to see the connective tissue papillae.
G. The gum tissue that is linked to the teeth is called the sulcular. The epithelium that makes up this structure is the stratified squamous epithelium, which is made up of many layers of flattened cells. In this area, it is possible to see the connective tissue papillae.
H. The tissue where the gingiva and the mucous membrane of the mouth converge is known as the junctional epithelium. The epithelium that makes up this structure is the stratified squamous epithelium, which is made up of many layers of flattened cells. In this area, it is possible to see the connective tissue papillae.
I. The mucous membrane that lines the alveoli, or the tiny spaces in the bones where the teeth are located, is known as the alveolar mucosa. The epithelium that makes up this structure is the stratified squamous epithelium, which is made up of many layers of flattened cells. In this area, it is possible to see the connective tissue papillae.
