L.3 Flashcards
Amount of secreted saliva is about
One liter
Saliva composed of
1.99,5% water 💧
2.0,5% solids which include:
- Na, K, Cl, HCO
- alpha amylase
- mucus
Function of Alpha amylase
Digest starch
Oral tissue become infected with dental caries in absence of
Salivation
How many stages for salivary secretion
- First stage “ primary secretion”
- second stage “ modification of primary secretion “
( FIRST STAGE )
Salivary secretion formed and secreted by
Acini
( FIRST STAGE )
Salivary secretion is isotonic which mean
Ions concentration as the plasma
( FIRST STAGE )
Salivary secretion contains
- Alpha amylase
- Mucus
Steps of the second stage“ modification “
- Reabsorbtion Na & Cl
- Secretion K & HCO
- Aldosterone
- Saliva become hypotonic
Second stage “ modification “ of primary secretion formed by
Ductal epithelium
Reabsorbtion of Na and Cl , will cause differences in plasma and saliva which is
It become lower in saliva than the plasma
Secretion of k and HCO , will cause differences in plasma and saliva which is
higher in saliva than the plasma
Function of aldosterone in modification of primary secretion
⬆️ Na reabsorbtion
⬆️ K secretion
Explain why the saliva become hypotonic in second stage
- Ducts impermeable to water
- Reabsorbed more solute than water
Which lead the salivary secretion becomes hypotonic
Salivary secretion is only controlled by
Nervous system
