The cheek is the most common location from which a DNA sample can be taken. (Some saliva is collected from inside the mouth, e.g. using a cotton-tipped rod called a swab or " Q-Tip ". The procedure of collecting a sample in that way is typically called a "cheek swab".)

Giant cell epulis, also known as peripheral giant cell granuloma, are like fibrous epulis and occur at the anterior interdental margin, the gum between the teeth at the front. They are more common in women. They are often soft round and deep red to purplish blue. It is important they are investigated to make are they are not true giant cell ...
The cells here may possess microvilli for maximizing the surface area for absorption, and these microvilli may form a brush border. Other cells may be ciliated to move mucus in the function of mucociliary clearance. Other ciliated cells are found in the fallopian tubes, the uterus and central canal of the spinal cord.
Examples of non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelium include some parts of the lining of oral cavity, pharynx, conjunctiva of eye, upper one-third esophagus, rectum, vulva, and vagina. Even non-keratinized surfaces, consisting as they do of keratinocytes, have a minor superficial keratinized layer of varying thickness, depending on the ...
Anatomy of the mouth. Floor of the mouth with lingual frenum and sublingual fold. The mouth consists of two regions: the vestibule and the oral cavity proper. The vestibule is the area between the teeth, lips and cheeks. [3]
The researchers suggest that their epigenetic clock, which was trained using cheek cell data, can predict mortality even when the methylome is measured in blood cells, indicating that common ...
In some of its facets human anatomy is closely related to embryology, comparative anatomy and comparative embryology, [1] through common roots in evolution; for example, much of the human body maintains the ancient segmental pattern that is present in all vertebrates with basic units being repeated, which is particularly obvious in the ...
