Notes:
Specimens of oral mucosa were taken from alveolar mucosa, attached gingiva, cheek, floor of mouth, hard palate, lip, soft palate and tongue from vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops), and prepared for histological and histometric examination. Masticatory mucosa showed an epithelial-connective tissue union comprised of prominent thin rete pegs and connective tissue papillae. Lining mucosa had broader rete pegs and short connective tissue papillae. Elastic fibres were seen in all tissues except hard palate and attached gingiva. Histometric examination showed considerable variation in epithelial width and cell densities between the various epithelia. Tongue had the widest epithelium and alveolar mucosa the narrowest. Cell density was greatest in alveolar mucosa and least in cheek and floor of the mouth epithelium.
