Epithelial keratinization.
Correct Answer
A. Vascularity of the lamina propria.Explanation
The reddish coloration of the vermilion border is primarily due to the vascularity of the lamina propria. The lamina propria is a layer of connective tissue beneath the epithelium that contains numerous blood vessels. These blood vessels supply oxygenated blood to the area, resulting in the reddish appearance. The other options, such as the thickness of the oral epithelium, existence of a high number of Langerhans cells, and epithelial keratinization, do not directly contribute to the reddish coloration of the vermilion border.Rate this question:

Which of the following are not usually found in the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum of keratinized oral epithelium?:
- A.
Keratohyaline granules.
- B.
Tonofibrils.
- C.
Membrane coating granules.
- D.
Ribosomes.
Correct Answer
A. Keratohyaline granules.Explanation
Keratohyaline granules are not usually found in the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum of keratinized oral epithelium. This is because keratohyaline granules are typically found in the granular layer (stratum granulosum) of the epidermis, which is located above the stratum spinosum. The stratum spinosum is primarily composed of keratinocytes connected by desmosomes, and it is responsible for providing strength and stability to the epithelium. Keratohyaline granules, on the other hand, play a role in the synthesis of keratin and the formation of the skin barrier in the upper layers of the epidermis. Therefore, they are not usually present in the keratinocytes of the stratum spinosum.Rate this question:

The sulcular epithelium:
- A.
Is nonkeratinized.
- B.
Is keratinized.
- C.
Has thick epithelial layer.
- D.
Has long epithelial ridges.
Correct Answer
A. Is nonkeratinized.Explanation
The sulcular epithelium refers to the epithelial lining of the gingival sulcus, which is the space between the tooth surface and the gum tissue. This epithelium is nonkeratinized, meaning it lacks a tough outer layer of keratin. Instead, it has a thin, delicate structure that is more susceptible to damage and infection. This nonkeratinized nature allows for easier exchange of fluids and cells between the gingival sulcus and the underlying connective tissue.Rate this question:

Taste buds are not found on:
- A.
Filliform papillae.
- B.
Fungiform papillae.
- C.
Foliate papillae.
- D.
Circumvallate papillae.
Correct Answer
A. Filliform papillae.Explanation
Taste buds are sensory organs that are responsible for detecting different tastes. They are mainly found on the fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate papillae, which are structures on the surface of the tongue. Filliform papillae, on the other hand, do not contain taste buds. They are smaller and more numerous than the other types of papillae and are involved in tactile sensation rather than taste perception.Rate this question:
