Question 28

What is the function of the Intercalated ducts

Answer 28

originate in the acini and join to form striated ducts. They | may deliver bicarbonate ions into the primary secretion.

Question 29

What is the function of the Striated ducts

Answer 29

are lined by ion-transporting cells that remove sodium and chloride ions from the luminal fluid (via a sodium pump) and actively pump potassium and bicarbonate ions into it, thus transforming the initial saliva

Answer 30

a calcification that is formed usually in the parotid gland.painful swelling of the parotid gland.
