The oral mucosa is the mucous membrane found in the mouth.
The epithelium is nonkeratinzed stratified squamous epithelium.<ref>http://w3.ouhsc.edu/histology/Text%20Sections/Upper%20GI.html</ref>
The mucous membrane lining the cheek is reflected above and below upon the gums, and is continuous behind with the lining membrane of the soft palate.
