LEC57: Salivary glands & Exocrine pancreas Flashcards
what kind of glands are salivary
exocrine
what kind of glands are pancreas glands
exocrine & endocrine
what are salivary & pancreas glands assoc w/?
both functionally & structurally, assoc w/ digestive system
how do exocrine glands release secretory product
via a duct onto external surface / into lumen of an organ
ie intestine
how do endocrine glands release their hormone
into blood circulation or tissue space
both exocrine and endocrine glands begin how
epithelial cell downgrowth into CT
major salivary glands
parotid
submanidbular
sublingual
produce ~90% totaly volume of saliva
minor salivary glands
lips
tongue
palates
~10% total volume of saliva
identify the major salivary glands
what does saliva contain?
how much/day?
water, ions, mucins, antimicrobial substances, IgA, enzymes, proteins
~liter/day
saliva functions?
1) wet and lubricate oral mucosa
2) protect the oral mucosa and teeth
3) antimicrobial activity
4) initiate digestion of carbohydrates
5) hydrolysis of dietary lipids in newborns (lingual lipase)
what are parenchya
parenchyma: secretory units and ducts
what are stroma
connective tissue supporting the parenchyma and containg cells, blood vessels, nerves
what kind of glands are salivary glands?
compound tubuloacinar / compound acinar glands
organization of saliva glands
capsule
CT septa
lobes
lobules
secretory units
ducts
tubular gland structure?
gland has 1 duct opening into 1 very elongated secretory unit that is tubular shape
can be single simple or branched ducts w/ compound gland
acinar/alveolar gland structure
spherical gland
simple: 1 duct-1 gland
compound: multiple ducts/multiple glands
tubuloacinar gland structure
combo of tubular and acinar gland
salivary gland can be tubular, acinar, or tubuloacinar
acini
secretory units (end pieces) of exocrine glands, whether rounded or tubular on sections
how are acini classified
according to the nature of secretions they produce
types of acini?
serous, mucous
what are these
serous- watery secretion rich in enzymes & mucous- viscous secretion rich in glycoproteins - secretions from acini
