Sensory cells= are located below the level of the epithelium

Taste pore= a break in the epithelium over the sensory cells

Brachydont vs. Hypsodont teeth
Brachydont
- the tooth as it is forming, creates the enamel which is above the gumline only
- once damaged, can't fix it

Hypsodont
- enamel below gumline
- teeth grow throughout life
teeth

(ameloblasts/ odontoblasts/ pulp cavity/ periodontal ligament/ bone)
Ameloblasts- cells that produce enamel

Odontoblasts- cells that produce dentin

Periodontal ligament- anchors tooth to alveolar bone

Pulp cavity:
contains living tissue: blood vessels, mesenchyme

Alveolar bone
enamel

dentin

cementum
Enamel
- covers outside of tooth (aka. crown)
- lost during processing

Dentin
- bulk of the tooth
- softer than enamel

Cementum
- bone-like
- covers tooth root (not be seen protruding beyond gum line)
- anchors to periodontal ligament
know the parts of a tooth
tooth development

brachydont vs. rodent vs. horse
Brachydont teeth: Enamel is made only before eruption.  Once the tooth erupts, the ameloblasts die. If enamel is damaged it can't be renewed. 

Rodents: continually produce enamel, must wear down their teeth by gnawing. Both root and crown develop simultaneously in the rodent and continue to grow throughout life.

Horses: The enamel and dentin layers are intertwined- increasing the strength and decreasing the wear rate.
enamel hypoplasia due to distemper

saliva fxns
Moistens/Lubricates
- masticated food bound into a slippery bolus that (usually) slides easily through the esophagus without damaging the mucosa

Facilitates mastication

Deglutition (swallowing)

Adjusts pH
- Provides alkaline buffering and fluid: important in ruminants as they have non-secretory forestomachs

Dissolution of food stuffs

Limited carbohydrate digestion
saliva consists of


it's release is controlled by
Consists of protein glycoproteins, electrolytes and water

Sheep 1-4 liters

Cattle 90-190 liters

Horses 38 liters
salivary glands

(where are they derived from/ where do their secretions drain to/ maj vs minor)
Derived from epithelium of the buccal cavity

Secretions drain to the buccal cavity

Major salivary glands are more distant from the buccal cavity and may have long ducts

Minor salivary glands are more proximal and have shorter duct systems
