Oral Cavity and Glands Dr. Randall E. Merchant [email protected] THE ORAL CAVITY AND GLANDS Objectives 1. Define the limits of the oral cavity and understand the varying features of the oral mucosa. 2. Compare and contrast the structure of the four types of papillae over the dorsum of the tongue. 3. Describe the basic structure of a taste bud. 4. Define the major subdivisions of a tooth. 5. With the microscope, identify the three types of major salivary glands and the morphologic features that distinguish them from each other. Recognize and know the function of other structures in BOLD in the laboratory guide. 6. Describe the function of striated ducts and how they affect the consistency of the saliva. 7. Identify the structures on the CD listed in the laboratory guide. I. General Features of Oral Cavity A. Definitions 1. Vestibule - internal to the lips and cheeks, as far back as the teeth 2. Oral Cavity Proper - behind the teeth (forward and lateral), bounded above by the hard and soft palate, the tongue below, ends posteriorly at the fauces (beginning of the oropharynx) B. Masticatory Mucosa - present on gingiva, dorsum of tongue, and hard palate 1. Stratified squamous keratinized (parakeratinized) epithelium 2. Underlying connective tissue contains Meissner's corpuscles & minor salivary glands (mostly mucus-secreting) Lingual Minor Salivary Glands Submandibular Duct Frenulum of Tongue Sublingual Gland O penings of Sublingual Ducts Opening of Submandibular Duct C. Lining Mucosa - found everywhere else except gingiva, dorsum of tongue, and hard palate 1. Stratified squamous nonkeratinized epithelium 2. Underlying connective tissue contains Meissner's corpuscles & minor salivary glands (mostly mucus-secreting and classified morphologically as compound tubuloacinar) II. Teeth A. Overview 1.

Hardest substance of body, 96% mineralized (calcium, hydroxyapatite) 2. Formed by amelioblasts (lost as tooth erupts) C. Dentin - formed and maintained by odontoblasts (at pulp cavity - dentin junction) 1. Organic composition of bone, composed of 70% calcium hydroxyapatite and its organic component mostly collagen, proteoglycans, and glycoproteins 2. Odontoblast Processes - located within dentinal tubules throughout the dentin 3. Dentinal Tubules - S-shaped curves in dentin that extend to dentino-enamel or dentino-cementum junction D. Pulp Cavity 1. Contains gelatinous connective tissue with blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics 2. Odontoblasts at the periphery E. Cementum - composed of 45-50% calcium hydroxyapatite, organic component collagen, glycoproteins proteoglycans 1. Cementocytes - in lacunae, resemble osteocytes 2. Periodontal Ligament - collagen fibers, extend from the cementum to the bone, helps hold tooth in its socket III. Tongue A. General information 1. Dorsal Surface - anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 separated by the sulcus terminalis a. root of the tongue - another name for the posterior 1/3 b. covered by stratified squamous keratinized (parakeratinized) epithelium c. lingual salivary glands - some mucus- secreting others serous-secreting d. papillae found over anterior 2/3 of this surface 2. Anterior Surface - covered by stratified squamous non- keratinized epithelium B. Papillae - only on the dorsum of the tongue 1. Filiform - most numerous of papillae a. short, tapering structures, point aimed toward the back of oral cavity b. covered by parakeratinized epithelium with a connective tissue core c. no taste buds associated with them 2. Fungiform - occur singularly over the dorsum of the tongue a. mushroom shaped, appear red due to high vascularity b. covered by non-keratinized epithelium with a connective tissue core c. taste buds located on apical surface 3. Circumvallate - 10-15 in number, located anterior to sulcus terminalis a. mushroom shaped and surrounded by a deep furrow b. taste buds along their lateral surface c. lingual glands - the serous glands of Von Ebner associated only with these papillae, their duct empty into furrows 4.

Mucus Cells - only found in the Submandibular and Sublingual Glands a. show mucinogen granules in apical cytoplasm as well a prominent Golgi apparatus b. if serous demilunes present, canaliculi extend between the mucus cells to allow secretions of serous cells to reach the lumen of the duct 3. Myoepithelial Cells - found in all three types of major salivary glands a. contractile cells with processes embracing secretory cells of acini b. also found around cells of intercalated ducts C. The Duct System 1. Intercalated Ducts (always an Intralobular Duct) a. formed of a simple cuboidal epithelium b. in all major salivary glands but most prominent in Parotid Glands c. cells add bicarbonate ions to saliva 2. Striated Ducts (can be an Intralobular or Interlobular) a. formed of a simple columnar epithelium b. are intensely eosinophilic because of high numbers of mitochondria in basal striations c. their cell junctions are extensive d. account for approximately 75% of the volume of saliva e. remove sodium and chloride from saliva 3.

Rezk and Nora A. Shaker* Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Cairo University, Egypt *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The present study provides detailed anatomical description of the parotid and mandibular salivary glands of the one humped camel with their segmentation based on arterial blood supply and salivary ducts; to facilitate partial removal of the pathologic gland. The shape, position, relations and blood supply of both salivary glands with their ducts were studied on six cadaveric heads. The mandibular and parotid ducts were injected with Urographin® as contrast medium; through inserting the catheter into their openings in the oral cavity; then applying lateral radiography immediately after the injection. The common carotid arteries were injected with red Latex Neoprene and dissected. The parotid gland was irregular rectangular and had five processes while the mandibular gland was irregular triangular with rounded proximal and pointed distal extremity. The parotid duct enters the oral cavity on the cheek opposite the upper 4th molar tooth. The mandibular duct opens in the oral cavity at the sublingual caruncles on the sublingual floor, just about 2cm cranial to frenulum linguae. Both The parotid and the mandibular salivary glands could be divided into four segments.

  • Tongue and Lip Ties: Best Evidence June 16, 2015
    Tongue and Lip Ties: Best Evidence June 16, 2015 limited elevation in tongue tied baby Tongue and Lip Ties: Best Evidence By: Lee-Ann Grenier Tongue and lip tie (often abbreviated to TT/LT) have become buzzwords among lactation consultants bloggers and new mothers. For many these are strange new words despite the fact that it is a relatively common condition. Treating tongue tie fell out of medical favour in the early 1950s. In breastfeeding circles, it was talked about occasionally, but until recently few health care professionals screened babies for tongue tie and it was frequently overlooked as a cause of common breastfeeding difficulties. In the last few years tongue tie and the related condition lip tie have exploded into the consciousness of mothers and breastfeeding helpers. So why all the fuss about tongue and lip ties all of a sudden? Tongue tie seems to be a relatively common problem, affecting 4-11%1 of the population and it can have a drastic impact on breastfeeding. The presence of tongue tie triples the risk of weaning in the first week of life.2 Here in Alberta it has been challenging to find competent assessment and treatment, prompting several Alberta mothers and their babies to fly to New York in 2011 and 2012 to receive treatment. The dedication and persistence of these mothers has spurred action on providing education and treatment options for Alberta families. In August of 2012, The Breastfeeding Action Committee of Edmonton (BACE) brought Dr. Lawrence Kotlow to Edmonton to provide information and training to area health care providers.

  • Salivary Gland Infections and Salivary Stones (Sialadentis and Sialithiasis)
    Salivary Gland Infections and Salivary Stones (Sialadentis and Sialithiasis) What is Sialadenitis and Sialithiasis? Sialdenitis is an infection of the salivary glands that causes painful swelling of the glands that produce saliva, or spit. Bacterial infections, diabetes, tumors or stones in the salivary glands, and tooth problems (poor oral hygiene) may cause a salivary gland infection. The symptoms include pain, swelling, pus in the mouth, neck skin infection. These infections and affect the submandibular gland (below the jaw) or the parotid glands (in front of the ears). The symptoms can be minor and just be a small swelling after meals (symptoms tend to be worse after times of high saliva flow). Rarely, the swelling in the mouth will progress and can cut off your airway and cause you to stop breathing. What Causes Sialadenitis and Sialithiasis When the flow of saliva is blocked by a small stone (salilithiasis) in a salivary gland or when a person is dehydrated, bacteria can build up and cause an infection. A viral infection, such as the mumps, also can cause a salivary gland to get infected and swell. These infections can also be caused by a spread from rotten or decaying teeth. Sometimes there can be a buildup of calcium in the saliva ducts that form into stones. These can easily stop the flow of saliva and cause problems How are these infections and stones treated? Treatment depends on what caused your salivary gland infection. If the infection is caused by bacteria, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics. Home treatment such as drinking fluids, applying warm compresses, and sucking on lemon wedges or sour candy to increase saliva may help to clear the infection quicker.

  • Pediatric Oral Pathology. Soft Tissue and Periodontal Conditions
    PEDIATRIC ORAL HEALTH 0031-3955100 $15.00 + .OO PEDIATRIC ORAL PATHOLOGY Soft Tissue and Periodontal Conditions Jayne E. Delaney, DDS, MSD, and Martha Ann Keels, DDS, PhD Parents often are concerned with “lumps and bumps” that appear in the mouths of children. Pediatricians should be able to distinguish the normal clinical appearance of the intraoral tissues in children from gingivitis, periodontal abnormalities, and oral lesions. Recognizing early primary tooth mobility or early primary tooth loss is critical because these dental findings may be indicative of a severe underlying medical illness. Diagnostic criteria and .treatment recommendations are reviewed for many commonly encountered oral conditions. INTRAORAL SOFT-TISSUE ABNORMALITIES Congenital Lesions Ankyloglossia Ankyloglossia, or “tongue-tied,” is a common congenital condition characterized by an abnormally short lingual frenum and the inability to extend the tongue. The frenum may lengthen with growth to produce normal function. If the extent of the ankyloglossia is severe, speech may be affected, mandating speech therapy or surgical correction. If a child is able to extend his or her tongue sufficiently far to moisten the lower lip, then a frenectomy usually is not indicated (Fig. 1).

  • Abscesses Apicectomy
    BChD, Dip Odont. (Mondchir.) MBChB, MChD (Chir. Max.-Fac.-Med.) Univ. of Pretoria Co Reg: 2012/043819/21 Practice.no: 062 000 012 3323 ABSCESSES WHAT IS A TOOTH ABSCESS? A dental/tooth abscess is a localised acute infection at the base of a tooth, which requires immediate attention from your dentist. They are usually associated with acute pain, swelling and sometimes an unpleasant smell or taste in the mouth. More severe infections cause facial swelling as the bacteria spread to the nearby tissues of the face. This is a very serious condition. Once the swelling begins, it can spread rapidly. The pain is often made worse by drinking hot or cold fluids or biting on hard foods and may spread from the tooth to the ear or jaw on the same side. WHAT CAUSES AN ABSCESS? Damage to the tooth, an untreated cavity, or a gum disease can cause an abscessed tooth. If the cavity isn’t treated, the inside of the tooth can become infected. The bacteria can spread from the tooth to the tissue around and beneath it, creating an abscess. Gum disease causes the gums to pull away from the teeth, leaving pockets. If food builds up in one of these pockets, bacteria can grow, and an abscess may form. An abscess can cause the bone around the tooth to dissolve. WHY CAN'T ANTIBIOTIC TREATMENT ALONE BE USED? Antibiotics will usually help the pain and swelling associated with acute dental infections. However, they are not very good at reaching into abscesses and killing all the bacteria that are present.

  • Angina Bullosa Haemorrhagica (Oral Blood Blister) (PDF)
    Patient Information Maxillo-facial Angina Bullosa Haemorrhagica (Oral Blood Blister) What is Angina Bullosa Haemorrhagica? Angina Bullosa Hemorrhagica (ABH) is a condition where an often painful, but benign blood-filled blister suddenly develops in the mouth. The blisters are generally not due to a blood clotting disorder or any other medical disorder. It is a fairly common, sudden onset and benign blood blistering oral (mouth) disorder. It mainly affects people over 45 years and both males and females are equally affected. Usually there is no family history of the condition. It may be associated with Type 2 Diabetes, a family history of diabetes or Hyperglycaemia. What are the signs and symptoms of ABH? The first indication is a stinging pain or burning sensation just before the appearance of a blood blister The blisters last only a few minutes and then spontaneously rupture (burst), leaving a shallow ulcer that heals without scarring, discomfort or pain They can reach an average size of one to three centimetres in diameter The Soft Palate (back of the mouth) is the most affected site If they occur on the palate and are relatively big, they may need to be de-roofed (cut and drained) to ease the sensation of choking Patient Information Occasionally blisters can occur in the buccal mucosa (cheek) and tongue Approximately one third of the patients have blood blisters in more than one location. What are the causes of ABH? More than 50% of cases are related to minor trauma caused by: hot foods, restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns etc) or Periodontal Therapy (treatment of gum disease).

  • Head and Neck
    DEFINITION OF ANATOMIC SITES WITHIN THE HEAD AND NECK adapted from the Summary Staging Guide 1977 published by the SEER Program, and the AJCC Cancer Staging Manual Fifth Edition published by the American Joint Committee on Cancer Staging. Note: Not all sites in the lip, oral cavity, pharynx and salivary glands are listed below. All sites to which a Summary Stage scheme applies are listed at the begining of the scheme. ORAL CAVITY AND ORAL PHARYNX (in ICD-O-3 sequence) The oral cavity extends from the skin-vermilion junction of the lips to the junction of the hard and soft palate above and to the line of circumvallate papillae below. The oral pharynx (oropharynx) is that portion of the continuity of the pharynx extending from the plane of the inferior surface of the soft palate to the plane of the superior surface of the hyoid bone (or floor of the vallecula) and includes the base of tongue, inferior surface of the soft palate and the uvula, the anterior and posterior tonsillar pillars, the glossotonsillar sulci, the pharyngeal tonsils, and the lateral and posterior walls. The oral cavity and oral pharynx are divided into the following specific areas: LIPS (C00._; vermilion surface, mucosal lip, labial mucosa) upper and lower, form the upper and lower anterior wall of the oral cavity. They consist of an exposed surface of modified epider- mis beginning at the junction of the vermilion border with the skin and including only the vermilion surface or that portion of the lip that comes into contact with the opposing lip.

This study was grounded in two interconnected theoretical frameworks: critical feminism (also with attention to embodied learning) and women’s emancipatory learning in relation to breastfeeding and activism. There were 11 participants in the study, chosen according to purposeful criteria related to the study’s purpose; they represent diversity in age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, and educational background. Data collection included narrative semi-structured interviews, which were co-constructed between the researcher and the participants, and researcher-generated artifacts. Both narrative and constant-comparative analysis were used to analyze the data. There were three sets of findings that emerged from the data.

  • Salivary Glands
    GASTROINTESTINAL SYSTEM [Anatomy and functions of salivary gland] 1 INTRODUCTION Digestive system is made up of gastrointestinal tract (GI tract) or alimentary canal and accessory organs, which help in the process of digestion and absorption. GI tract is a tubular structure extending from the mouth up to anus, with a length of about 30 feet. GI tract is formed by two types of organs: • Primary digestive organs. • Accessory digestive organs 2 Primary Digestive Organs: Primary digestive organs are the organs where actual digestion takes place. Primary digestive organs are: Mouth Pharynx Esophagus Stomach 3 Anatomy and functions of mouth: FUNCTIONAL ANATOMY OF MOUTH: Mouth is otherwise known as oral cavity or buccal cavity. It is formed by cheeks, lips and palate. It encloses the teeth, tongue and salivary glands. Mouth opens anteriorly to the exterior through lips and posteriorly through fauces into the pharynx. Digestive juice present in the mouth is saliva, which is secreted by the salivary glands. 4 ANATOMY OF MOUTH 5 FUNCTIONS OF MOUTH: Primary function of mouth is eating and it has few other important functions also. Functions of mouth include: Ingestion of food materials. Chewing the food and mixing it with saliva. Appreciation of taste of the food. Transfer of food (bolus) to the esophagus by swallowing . Role in speech . Social functions such as smiling and other expressions. 6 SALIVARY GLANDS: The saliva is secreted by three pairs of major (larger) salivary glands and some minor (small) salivary glands. Major glands are: 1. Parotid glands 2. Submaxillary or submandibular glands 3. Sublingual glands. 7 Parotid Glands: Parotid glands are the largest of all salivary glands, situated at the side of the face just below and in front of the ear.
