∙ 11y agoBuccal mucosa(And nasal mucosa) is derived from Ectoderm till Pharynx, mean from the cells witch form skin all over body. So is is very very tough as compared to the rest of the gastric tract, witch is derived from Endoderm, witch is much delicate.(You have hairs in nose, witch are normally present in skin.) So Buccal mucosa is made of stratified squamous epithelium and is keratinized. (Keratin is a type of protein, witch makes skin tough. ) So it bears the brunt of all attacks of hard food mastication.It does not get damaged easily by spirit (Alcohol.) and tobacco. So it's function is mainly protective. It defend itself, from attack by very high number of bacteria preset in mouth cavity.(Mouth cavity has most ideal conditions for bacteria to grow. They have ample food, dark and moist atmosphere!)
