Lecture 20: Secretions from Salivary Glands and Stomach Flashcards
What triggers the cephalic phase
Anticipation of food
Cephalic phase is activated due to activation of ___efferents
PNS
What does PNS activity during cephalic phase result in
Increased secretion of saliva, gastric acid, gastrin and pancreatic enzymes
The cephalic reflex serves to ___ the GI tract
Prepare
What are the 3 phases of salivary and gastric secretion
- Cephalic
- Gastric
- Intestinal phase
What stimulates the gastric phase of salivary and gastric secretions
Mechanical stimulation of oral cavity and stomach
What stimulates the intestinal phase of gastric secretion
Regulation of stomach emptying and digestion/absorption in small intestine
What stimulates release of HCl in the cephalic phase
Vagus—> parietal
Vagus—> gastrin—> parietal
What % of HCl secretion occurs in cephalic phase
20%
What triggers HCl secretion in gastric phase
- Vagus—> parietal
- Vagus—> gastrin—> parietal
- Local reflex—> gastrin—> parietal
- Gastrin—> parietal
- Gastrin—> ECL—> histamine—> parietal
What inhibits the release of HCl in the gastric phase
PH <2 in stomach will trigger release of somatostatin which will inhibit parietal cells and decrease gastric acid
What % of HCl is secreted in gastric phase
70%
What triggers HCl release in intestinal phase
- Intestinal G cells activated
What inhibits HCl release in intestinal phase
- Low pH in duodenum activates somatostatin to inhibit parietal cells and decrease gastric acid
- Block G cells—> decrease gastrin
What % of HCl is secreted in intestinal phase
10%
What 4 glands produce saliva
Parotid, mandibular, lingual, and baccalaureate
In cattle saliva is a major source of what
Water and bicarbonate to the rumen
What is saliva composed of
Water, proteins, electrolytes and urea (ruminants)
What are some functions of saliva
- Stimulate taste buds
- Food lubrication
- Keeps mouth clean
- Contains lysozymes, buffer and antitoxic proteins
Salivary glands are ___glands
Acinar
What is the secretory unit of salivary glands
Acini
Fluid is secreted into the lumen of the acini and is modified through what
Intercalated and striated ducts
All salivary glands are composed of multiple ___that drain into ___ before being secreted into ___cavity
Acini, collecting ducts, buccal cavity
What is the salivary enzyme responsible for breaking down starch
Ptyalin (alpha-amylase)
What is the ideal pH in dogs, cats and pigs for ptyalin/alpha-amylase
6-7
What is mucin
Lubricant that facilitates swallowing and protects buccal surfaces
What ions are reabsorbed and secreted in salivary glands
Reabsorbed: Na+ and Cl-
Secreted: K+ and HCO3-
What is a salivary mucocele
Painless swelling in the neck or oral cavity that is a collection of saliva as a result of a damaged salivary gland or duct
__osmotic secretion by acini cells and selected reabsorption by duct cells creates a ___saliva
Iso-osmotic, hypotonic
What is the tonicity of normal saliva
Hypotonic
Acinar cells release ___ and ___ via exocytosis and secrete ___, ___ and ___
Proteins and mucous
Chloride, bicarbonate, and potassium
Salivary duct cells reabsorb __ and ___
Na+ and Cl-
What can not pass through tight junctions in salivary glands and what is the result
Tight junctions are impermeable to water, therefore creating the hypotonic saliva
What determines salivary osmolarity
Flow rate
Saliva is hypotonic at __salivary flow rates
Low
Saliva is isotonic at __salivary flow rates. And why?
High because there is not enough time to reabsorb Na+, Cl- and HCO3-
The pH ___ when salivary secretion rate increases
Increases
