Histology of Digestive Glands Flashcards
What is an acinus?
group of secretory cells arranged
around a narrow lumen
Short, branching tubular glands lined with mucous
cells that secrete saliva continuously to moisten and lubricate oral mucosa
minor salivary glands
False about major salivary glands
A. Branched acinar
B,Secrete in response to sympathetic activity
C. Come in pairs
B,Secrete in response to sympathetic activity
dapat parasympathetic`
False about mucous acini
A. Visible lumen
B. Secretion is called mucin (mucus), made up of glycoproteins
C. dark-staining in H&E stain
c. dark-staining in H&E stain
light-staining dapat
crescentic layers of serous cells capping
the ends of the mucous acini
serous demilunes
Contractile cells that embrace both serous and
mucous acini; Force secretions from the lumen to the duct system
myoepithelial cells
amylase is from (serous, mucous) secretions
serous
false about intercalated ducts
A) Lined by low cuboidal epithelial cells
B) have stem cell capability
C)Well-developed and striated in mucous glands and
Poorly-developed and non-striated in serous
glands
D)secrete bicarbonate into the acinar product and absorb chloride from the acinar product
C)Well-developed and striated in mucous glands and
Poorly-developed and non-striated in serous
glands
dapat: Well-developed and striated in serous glands and
Poorly-developed and non-striated in mucous
glands
ducts where sodium is reabsorbed from the primary secretion + potassium & bicarbonate secretion into the secretion
striated duct
Striated ducts located in the parenchyma of the
glands (connective tissue)
intralobular duct
salivary duct that Passes through the connective tissue stroma of the glands
interlobular duct
False about main duct
A. Opens into oral cavity
B. Larger duct systems can bring saliva back to the glands that produced them
B. Larger duct systems can bring saliva back to the glands that produced them
They can only bring saliva out. Once saliva is out, it can never go back
Sequence the parts of the salivary ductal system (from interior to exterior) A.main B.interlobar C.intercalated D.intralobar E.striated
C then E then D then B then A
False about parotid glands: A.Largest of the major salivary glands B.Secretions are watery serous saliva rich in amylase, proline-rich proteins C. dark-staining at H&E D. duct involved: Wharton's Duct
D. duct involved: Wharton’s duct
Stenson’s dapat. Wharton’s: for submandibular
False about sublingual glands: A.Smallest of the salivary glands B.Located underneath the tongue C.intercalated ducts and striated ducts are short, difficult to locate, or sometimes absent D.have watery secretions
D.have watery secretions
Parotid gland: has watery secretions
Sublingual gland: has viscous secretions
