What is a buccal mucosa?
Bucal mucosa is a specific area of the oral mucosa - the mucous membrane covering the area of the mouth. The area of the buccal mucosa of this membrane extends around the interior of the face and the lower area of the mouth, the bottom of the tongue, out to the lips and the back of the neck. This area is well known to dentists and oral surgeons because it surrounds the teeth structures in the lower jaw and contains muscles used during chewing. It also contains a fat pad between the muscles - called the buccal fat pad - as well as the nerves, blood vessels and lymph glands. These fluids are essential to prevent drying, because this mucosa is part of a membrane system that lines the entire gastrointestinal tract, and this is open to outer surfaces at both ends. A similar type of membrane also connects the outer entrances to the respiratory system in the nose and three areas.
epithelial tissue - tissue covering body surfaces - buccal mucosa is a characterTerrized as "spinocellic". This means that this tissue consists of cells that are flattened - a similar net in a network network - but because the squamous tissue has several layers, a more accurate description should have several covered fishing nets. Because the cells are flattened, but they can easily transmit substances such as saliva in the mouth, because of their reduced vertical dimensions, which helps the digestive process.
Parotidal gland, a large gland that produces saliva for the mouth as a help in digestion, flows into the area of the buccal mucosa near the second upper molar, known as the buccal cavity or the inner surface of Buccal mucosa. The area around the stools is also known as a soft floor, the area of soft tissue on the upper part of the back of the mouth, which when swallowing or speaking closes the air passages. While the soft floor is part of the buccal mucosa, but continues to spread to the roof of the mouth, which is an area known as a hard floor.
epithelial tissue of the buccal mucosa is not -credinized, which meansthat these cells have a core or central core production, as well as cytoplasm, which consists of all living structures in the cell except the nucleus. This is, unlike spinocellular epithelial cells that cover the dry areas of the body, such as skin that are keratinized and lost cell regeneration capabilities. However, both types of epithelial tissue are very subject to cancer because epithelial tissue is known as a high cancer rate.
jackets epithelial tissue in the area of the buccal mucosa is particularly exposed to cancer and more than 90% of oral cancer cancer were associated with spinocellular cells in the mouth and lips. Many cancer were associated with disturbed or inhalation substances in addition to physiological causes. In addition, according to the Center for Control and Prevention of Diseases (CDC) of the US Government, cancer in this area was also associated with human papillomavirus or HPV infection, with up to 35% of oral cancer cancer is now caused by this virus.
