Question

The transition of the lips where the outer skinner and inner mucous membrane meet is called the _________

I looked it up and from what I read I believe it is the gingivae. Would that be correct.

Thank you

Answer 1

I looked up gingivae, but got the equivalent to the gums.

Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under various key words, finally going to "<I>mouth anatomy membranes</I>", to get these possible sources:

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
