question:i want 30 multiple choice questinos with their model answer below each question that covers different aspects of : Objectives Describe the histology of different structures related to the oral cavity: Lips Cheeks Tongue Palate PharynxThe oral cavity is apart of the digestive system Digestive system Digestive tract Oral cavity Gastrointestinal tract (alimentary canal) Associated glands Lips Cheeks Tongue Palate Pharynx Esophagus Stomach Small intestine Large intestine Salivary glands Liver PancreasOral cavity It is lined by oral mucosa (mucous membrane). Its epithelium is stratified squamous that may be keratinized, partially keratinized or nonkeratinized depending on the location. N.B. The mucous membrane (mucosa) is formed of two sublayers: Epithelium Lamina propria (loose connective tissue)Oral mucosa Masticatory mucosa ▪ It has keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. ▪ It is found on areas subjected to mechanical trauma during mastication of food e.g. the gingiva (gums) and the oral surface of hard palate. Lining mucosa ▪ It has non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium. ▪ It is found on the inner surface of the lips and cheeks, floor of the mouth, inferior surface of the tongue, oral surface of soft palate & pharynx.Lips The lips consist of a core of striated muscle (orbicularis oris) Thin skin Each lip has three covering surfaces: Outer surface (thin skin) Vermilion zone (red margin) Inner surface (mucous membrane) Vermilion zone Striated muscle mucous membraneThe outer surface of the lip is thin skin consisting of epidermis (stratified squamous keratinized epithelium) & dermis with hair follicles, sebaceous glands & sweat glands. Epidermis Dermis Sebaceous glands Hair follicles Sweat glands Orbicularis oris muscle (T.S.) 6The inner surface of the lip is lined by mucous membrane (lining oral mucosa) with minor salivary glands (labial glands) . Epithelium Stratified squamous nonkeratinized Lamina propria It is a layer of loose C.T. containing labial glands (mucous secreting minor salivary glands) Minor 7The red vermilion zone (lip margin) is a transitional zone between thin skin and oral mucosa. It appears pinkish-red because of the relatively translucent epithelium and many blood capillaries in the underlying C.T. Epithelium (stratified squamous lightly keratinized ) Underlying C.T. (Lamina propria) - Very rich in blood capillaries and sensory innervation. - NO hair follicles. - No sweat nor sebaceous glands (so lip margin is kept moist with saliva) Blood vessels 8 Lamina propria EpitheliumCheeks ➢ The cheek resembles the lip in histologic features. ➢ It consists of a core of striated muscle (Buccinator muscle) that is covered by thin skin from outside & lined by mucous membrane from inside. ➢ The epithelium of its lining mucosa is stratified squamous nonkeratinized. The lamina propria contains minor salivary (buccal) glands that extends in C.T. between muscle fibers. 9Tongue ❖The tongue is a muscular organ. ❖It consists of a mass of striated muscle covered by oral mucosa. ❖It has 2 surfaces: dorsal (upper) & ventral (lower). ❖The dorsal surface is divided into an anterior two-thirds and a posterior one- third by a V-shaped depression, the sulcus terminalis.
