HISTOLOGY AND EMBRYOLOGY OF ORAL TISSUES

Project: Development of 5 multiple choice questions Project Objectives: This project is designed to reinforce the student’s understanding of the stages of histologic and embryologic through the development of examination style questions. Examination questions will be shared among peers for collaborative learning. Project Guidelines: Each student will perform research and develop questions for an examination demonstrating their knowledge and understanding of their learning objectives relating to histology and embryology of the head and neck. There are 17-course objectives (found below). Each student is to select 5 of these objectives and conduct research on the content area. Once they have found research on the topic, they must HIGHLIGHT the information that they are including in their examination question on the research article and develop a question, and answer and rationales that relate to each of the identified objectives (rationales must be included with the questions and answers for full credit). ? Research at least 5 of the 17 objectives listed below ? Develop a question that can be answered either using ABCD (give options, with one being the correct answer and don't forget to give the rationales for each option for all options on each question) ? Reminder don't forget to Provide rationales for each correct AND incorrect responses on the 5 questions ? include cited work and include the article with Highlighted information used in your research article and submit this with your examination questions. Course Objectives (pick 5 out of the 17 to make research multiple choice questions) 1. Compare the types of epithelial and connective tissues and their mechanism for renewal and potential for disease. 2. Analyze basic histologic techniques of tissue preparation and microscopic examination. 3. Assess common cell organelles by structure, intracellular location, and function. 4. Analyze and differentiate the types of connective tissue (connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, and adipose tissue) by histologic structure and function, and give common examples of each. 5. Evaluate the components of blood, the functions of the various blood cells, and the histologic structure of arteries, veins, and capillaries. 6. Assess and differentiate striated, smooth, and cardiac muscle by histologic structure and function. 7. Analyze the basic histologic organization and features of nerve tissue. 8. Differentiate lining, masticatory, and specialized mucosa by location in the oral cavity, histologic structure, and clinical appearance. 9. Describe the role of the primary germ layers, neural crest cells, and pharyngeal arches in the development of the orofacial region. 10. Analyze the embryologic stages of orofacial development including development of the upper and lower jaws, the palate, and the tongue. 11.Diagram cleft lip and cleft palate as well as other common orofacial defects. 12. Analyze intramembranous and endochondral bone formation and identify sites of each process in the development and growth of the skull. Understand the histologic structure of sutures and their role in the normal and abnormal growth of the skull. 13. Analyzes the timeline of orofacial development and the role of the dental hygienist in educating patients about maternal health and the effect of teratogens such as alcohol. 14. Analyze the sequence of normal tooth development and eruption and explain the origin of common dental defects. Describe the histologic structure of alveolar bone and its remodeling and regeneration potential. 15. Differentiate enamel, dentin, cementum, PDL and pulp by histologic structure, formation during tooth development, and potential for repair and/or renewal. 16. Describe the histologic structure of the salivary glands and differentiate the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands by structure and type of secretion. 17. Analyze the histologic structure of the TMJ in the context of the potential for clinical problems.
