Usually consists of three layers

Its muscle contractions produce peristalsis

The myenteric nerve plexus is present between muscle layers

Circular muscles form sphincters along the tract

Each of the following statements concerning the structure of the oral cavity organs is true, EXCEPT

Mucosa is covered with stratified epithelium

Epithelium is partially keratinized;

Mucosa possesses the muscularis mucosae

Submucosa is absent at many sites

Each of the following statements concerning the tooth is true, EXCEPT

Consists of three parts: the crown, neck, and root

Each of the following statements concerning the tooth pulp is true, EXCEPT

Is filled with connective tissue

Contains blood vessels and nerves

The narrow canal extends from the pulp outside

Is lined with cementum.

Each of the following statements concerning the tooth development is true, EXCEPT:
