Q

describe flow rates and what they do regarding saliva and ductal cells

A

low flow rate: the ductal cell has time to exchange ions. the result is that the saliva is much different from plasma, it has low concentrations of Na+ and Cl- and high concentation of K+
high flow rate: the ductal cell has less time to exhange ions. result is that saliva is not as much different from plasma.

A

enterochromaffin-like

145
