CROSS-SPECIES ANATOMY - ANNOTATIONS

The Basic subset of the UBERON integrated, cross-species anatomy ontology is downloaded weekly from http://berkeleybop.org/ontologies/uberon/basic.obo. For more information about this ontology see the "About" page on the UBERON website at http://uberon.github.io/about.html.

Term:gingival epithelium

Accession:UBERON:0001949 term browser browse the term
Definition:A stratified squamous epithelium consisting of a basal layer; it is keratinized or parakeratinized[BTO].
Comment:[taxon-note] "In humans: 15% orthokeratinized, 75% parakeratinized, 10% non-keratinized; diurnal; decreased keratinization with age. Note that in FMA this is classified as keratinized squamous - this perhaps refers to the epithelium of the attached or free gingiva"
Synonyms:exact_synonym: epithelial tissue of gingiva;   epithelium of gingiva;   gingiva epithelial tissue;   gingiva epithelium
 xref: BTO:0004998;   FMA:62423;   MA:0001576;   NCI:C49239;   UMLS:C1179154
