Histology Study Sheets

 5 processes in the embryo:

1.   Induction: interaction between cells, cells talking to each other.

2.   Proliferation: controlled levels of cellular growth with accumulation of cellular by products.

3.   Differentiation: change that occurs in embryonic cells that is identical genetically so they can become structurally & functionally different. Any cells formed during this time are those, which perform a specific function such as, heart, lungs, liver, kidney. They form at different rates.

4.   Morphogenesis: development of specific tissue by their form by migration of embryonic cells. Continued interaction among cells to develop into different forms.

5.   Maturation: fetal period (adult size & form).

 

2 layers of the bilaminar disc:

Top layer: epiblast layer: columnar cell shape: AKA ectoderm.

Bottom layer: hypoblast layer: small cube shaped cells: AKA endoderm.

Layers of the trilaminar disc:

1st layer: Ectoderm: create epidermis of skin, nervous system, tooth enamel, epithelium of eye, ear, nose, sinuses, oral & nasal cavities, hair & nails.

2nd layer:  Mesoderm: create muscle, PDL, blood, dentin, pulp, cementum.

3rd layer:  Endoderm: creates lining of GI tract & respiratory processes.

 

5 Facial processes:

Stomodeum

becomes primitive mouth.

Before the 4th week can start seeing it as a shallow depression.

Not very deep due to temporary membrane that is present.

Temporary membrane= Oropharnygeal membrane that will disappear when face starts to develop & mouth will be larger.

Maxillary Process

grow on either side of primitive mouth & eventually form mid face.

cheeks, corners of mouth, palate, maxilla, zygomatic & temporal bone, sides of upper lip.

Mandibular arch

1st to form after primitive mouth.

forms lower face.

  Frontonasal Process

form upper part of face.

forehead, bridge of nose, palate, nasal septum.

  Nose

forms during 4th week.

tissue on either side (placodes) develop into nose.

 

 

Brachial Arches

 

1

Mandibular arches

Innervated by CN V

Meckle’s Cartilage

Form middle & lower face

2

Hyoid arch

Innervated by CN VII

Reichert’s Cartilage

Form hyoid bone, facial muscles, tongue, and middle ear bone.

3

Unnamed arch

Innervated by CN IX

Unnamed cartilage

Forms pharyngeal muscle & portion of hyoid bone.

4-6

Unnamed arch

Innervated by CN IX & CN X

Unnamed cartilage

Form muscles of larynx & pharynx.

5

This arch is so primitive it is usually absent in humans.

Stages of Tooth Development

 

  Initiation Stage

 6-7 week of development.

induction/interaction between cells.

Primative mouth lined with ectoderm & leads to formation of oral epithelium & below that layer is a layer of mesenchyme.

Oral epithelium layer will continue to grow & form dental lamina.

  Bud Stage

8th week of development.

Dental Lamina grows/ evolves into a bud.

  Cap Stage

9th-10th week of development.

Bud turns concave & forms a cap.

Proliferation/ differentiation: tooth bud is becoming structurally & functionally different.

Morphogenesis: takes on specific tissue characteristics. Occurs in unequal growth patterns.

  Bell Stage

 11th-12th week of development.

Proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis.

Enamel organ differentiates into 4 layers.

 Apposition/ Maturation

 Varies per tooth.

Induction, proliferation,Maturation.

Final stage is amelogenesis.

 

The enamel organ differentiates into these layers in the

Bell Stage

 

1st

Outer enamel epithelium

Cube shaped cells

Protective barrier to enamel organ.

2nd

Inner enamel epithelium

Tall columnar cells

Form outline of future shape of tooth crown & eventually become ameloblasts.

3rd

Stellate recticulum

Cells are star shaped

Help support production of enamel.

4th

Stratum intermedium

Flat cells

Support production of enamel.

 

 

Organelles of the cell with their function:

Nucleus

DNA/RNA inside help control functions of cell. DNA=genetic code, RNA= control cellular protein synthesis.

located near center of cell.

largest organelle. Brain of the cell.

Mitochondria

power plant of cell

second largest

generates energy by making ATP.

Ribosomes

also protein factories for cell.

can be free or bound to membrane, can be single or in clusters within cell.

 Endoplasmic recticulum

store & transport proteins.

smooth: no ribosomes; synthesize lipids/carbs. Rough: has ribosomes; synthesize protein.

Golgi Complex

transports proteins & produce lysosomes.

Lysosomes

called little digestive bags because enzymes will digest materials taken into cell.

produced by golgi.

cytoskeleton

between liquid & gel.

provides skeletal support to cell.

  

Phases of cell division:

Prophase

Nuclear membrane will disappear.

Metaphase

Chromosomes line up down middle of cell & spindle forms.

Anaphase

2 daughter chromosomes migrate to opposite poles.

Telophase

Cytokenesis occurs: division of cytoplasm, nuclear membrane reappears.

Interphase

Cell at rest between divisions, grow, metabolize. Organelle replacement & produce substances for division.

 

Layers of Basement Membrane

Epithelium

Basal Lamina: made from epithelium: has 2 layers:

                      Lamina Lucida: (clear) close to epithelial layer.

                      Lamina Densa: (denser) found close to connective tissue layer.

Reticular Lamina: collagen fibers produced by connective tissue.

Connective tissue

  

lips/cheeks, floor of mouth, underside tongue, soft palate, alveolar mucosa.

non keratinized.

not firmly attached to underlying bone.

can be stretched or compressed.

Fordyce’s granules 80% adults-sebum

Lining mucosa

gingiva & hard palate.    keratinized.

firmly attached to underlying bone.    chewing.

Masticatory mucosa

dorsum & lateral of tongue.

keratinized.

Specialized mucosa

 

Filiform papilla: most numerous, no taste buds. Fx: aid food to guide in swallowing.

Fungiform papilla: have taste buds, red mushrooms.

Foliate papilla: have taste buds, lateral borders of tongue.

Circumvale papilla: have taste buds, 10-14 v shaped on back of tongue.

 

Most common type of epithelium in the oral cavity: non-keratinized epithelium.

3 layers of non-keratinized epithelium:

a.     Basal layer~ mitosis occurs.

b.     Intermediate layer~ makes up the bulk of non-keratinized epithelium.

Superficial layer~ so much like intermediate can’t tell the difference

 

Least common type of epithelium in the oral cavity: orthokeratinized.

 4 layers of orthokeratinized epithelium:

a.     Basal layer: mitosis occurs.

b.     Prickle cell layer: makes up the bulk of orthokeratinized.

c.     Granular Layer: contains keratohyaline granules- substance in the form of granules that are found in cytoplasm of cells.

d.     Keratin layer- keratin, varying degrees of thickness, cells are flat with no nuclei.

The parakeratinized epithelium has the same layers as orthokeratinized, but the keratin layer is different in that:  its cells have nucleus.

 

Discuss the histological differences in:

a. Labial/buccal mucosa: pink, thick, non-keratinized.

b. Alveolar mucosa: non-keratinized, thin, red.

c. Floor of mouth & ventral tongue surface: non-keratinized, pink/red, thin.

d. Soft palate: deep pink, non-keratinized, thin.

e. Attached gingiva: parakeratinized (has some keratinization), pink, stippling.

f. Hard palate: orthokeratinized, thin…. why injections hurt.

 

Renewal Rates:

junctional epithelium

4-6 days

taste buds

10 days

buccal / labial

10-14 days

attached gingiva

10 days

 

List the types of gingival tissues:

    1. Free gingiva- encircles the tooth.
    2. Attached Gingiva- connected to tooth.
    3. Interdental gingiva- between teeth.

 

3 types of salivary glands:

Parotid gland

Encapsulated

Largest salivary gland

25% of total saliva volume

Serous & mucous

Whartons Duct (opens sublingual carnucle)

Sublingual gland

smallest

3% H2O

1% organic material: calcium phosphate/ phosphorus.

 

Dentin:
