Parotid
Submandibular
Sublingual

Parotid - serous secreting, very watery
Submandibular - mucus secreting, thicker

Sublingual - bit of both

Question 3

What is a very unusual feature of the salivary gland?

Answer 3

Striated ducts - these modify the saliva that is passing through them by pumping salt out of the fluid so that the saliva is hypotonic to the blood

Describe the mucosa?

Answer 5

Epithelium - sits on basal lamina
Lamina propria - loose CT
Muscular mucosae - thin layer of smooth muscle

Question 6

Describe the submucosa?

Answer 6

Loose CT

Question 7

Describe the muscular external?

Answer 7

• two thick layers of smooth muscle
• inner circular
• outer longitudinal

Question 8

Simple columnar epithelium with extensive tubular glands

Stomach

Question 12

Describe protective and absorptive mucosa in the digestive tract (large intestine)?

Answer 12

Simple columnar epithelium with tubular glands

Question 13

Describe the outer longitudinal muscle of the large intestine?

Answer 13

It is not continuous, it is distinctive, in 3 parts, called teniae coli

Question 14

What is the digestive tracts own nervous system called

Answer 14

The enteric nervous system

Question 15

What does the ENS receive input from?

Answer 15

From the autonomic nervous system but is capable or coordinating gut motility locally

Question 16

Describe the rough layers of the respiratory system - trachea?

Answer 16

Airway

Resp epithelium
Lamina propria
Seromucous gland in the submucosa

Hyaline cartilage of the tracheal ring

Question 17

What 2 cells produce a viscous fluid that coats the surface of the airway, and what is the purpose of this?

Answer 17

Goblet cells of the epithelium and the seromucous glands of the submucosa

It traps particles that are then propelled out of the airway by the cilia

Question 18

Describe bronchi?

Answer 18

They are large diameter airways and have hyaline cartilage in their walls

Question 19

Describe bronchioles?

A central vein which drains to the hepatic vein .

Question 24

What makes up the portal triad?

Answer 24

Hepatic portal vein
Hepatic artery
Bile duct

Question 25

What are the spaces for blood flow in the liver called?

Answer 25

Sinusoids

Question 26

What does the exocrine pancreas produce?
