Submandibular
Beneath and around the ear
Under the tongue
Under the jaws
Papilla duct of the parotid gland opens at the ——
Opposite the upper second molar
List the digestive enzymes in the saliva , what they act on, where they work , and their origin
alpha amylase produced by parotid and submandibular and lingual lipase produced by von ebner’s glands of the tongue
Amylase-carbs; lipase-fat
Amylase-mouth; lipase-stomach
List the bactericidal enzymes
thiocynate and proteolytic enzyme
The bactericidal enzymes are gotten from ——-
Lysosomes
List 3 things in the saliva with anti microbial actions
WBC,IgA, opsonins
Saliva supports coagulation by——
secreting PAF
PAF stands for —-
Platelet activating factor
Salivary secretion contains —- protein that binds to——- that your body needs to prevent——-
R protein
vitamin B12
degradation of B12
What is halitosis
Bad breath
Salivary secretion undergoes — stages
Mention.
2
Primary and secondary
Effect of parasympathetic nerves on blood flow to the salivary glands
para increases blood flow to the acini that increases the production of saliva
At primary level of salivary secretion , this saliva is similar to——-. They are —- in terms of osomolarity
plasma
Isoosmotic
Primary salivary secretion is secreted at the ——of the glands
blind end of the ducts (in the acini)
Secondary modification of salivary secretion occurs in the ——- of the glands
Intercalated duct/ductal cells
Level of modification of salivary secretion is dependent on——-
the level of modification is dependent on the rate of flow of the saliva through the duct
What are the modifications made in the intercalated ducts
Rebasorption of Na , Cl
Secretion of K,Hco3-
Effect of high flow rate on secondary modification
Less modification
Effect of high flow rate on Hco3- modification
High flow rate = more Hco3- in the saliva
———- contract to eject saliva into the mouth
myoepithelial cells
The ducts of salivary glands;striated or non-striated
Striated
IrRegardless of the flow rate , saliva is ——- to plasma
Hypotonic
When is lingual lipase added to the saliva
When the saliva enters the mouth
What and where is R protein cleaved from vit B12
Duodenum
Pancreatic proteases
Which parasympathetic nerves is salivary secretion dependent on—-
para Cn9-glossopharyngeal and Cn7-facial
If the parasympathetic nerves are severed, salivary secretion would—— and the glands would——-
Decrease
Atrophy
Effect of sympathetic nerves on blood flow to the salivary glands and effect on myoepithelial cells
Reduces blood flow
Contracts the cells to release preformed saliva
Salivary center is in the ——
Brainstem
Effects of the following on salivary secretion : Sleep Nausea Dehydration Esophageal distension Chewy food Drugs Chemotherapy Aging Sweet foods Bitter flood
Reduced Increased Reduced Increased Increased Reduced Reduced Reduced Increased Increased
Describe xerostomia
Dry mouth
Drugs that can be used to increase flow rate are called —-
Sialogogue
Describe Sialorrhea
In Sialorrhea, the flow of saliva is very very high
Sialorrhea should not be mistaken for —-
Do not mistake this for increased salivation/drooling in infants.
What is used to diagnose hyper secretion of saliva
quantities sialometry
Describe drooling
the flow of saliva is normal or reduced but the handling of the saliva is what is disturbed
