What is Understanding Oral Mucous Membrane Functions about?
The oral mucous membrane, or oral mucosa, is a moist lining in the oral cavity that serves various functions including protection, sensation, secretion, and thermal regulation. It is distinct from skin due to its color, moisture, and absence of certain skin structures, and is composed of keratinized or non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium supported by connective tissue. The oral mucosa is classified into three types based on function: masticatory, lining, and specialized mucosa.
