moist tissue lining the inside of the mouth

The oral mucosa, also known as the oral lining or mouth lining, is the moist tissue that lines the inside of the mouth. It consists of a stratified squamous epithelium layer and an underlying connective tissue called the lamina propria. This tissue serves as a barrier to protect against mechanical damage, pathogens, and toxins, and plays a role in sensation and secretion.
