Q

what effects concentrations of ions in saliva?

A

flow rate. slower = less b/c more time to extract. KHCO3 excreted.

Isoosmotic at all rates

Q

CN responsible for saliva

symp/parasymp stimulation?

A

CN VII & IX

sympathetic & parasympathetic both stimulate

17
Q

how does saliva get stim by parasympathetics?

A

chorda tympani N, parasympathetics -> Ach -> IP3

18
Q

cellular metabolism pathway to saliva?

A

cell metabolism, kallikrein, plasma protein, bradykinin, increased saliva

19
Q

sympathetic stim of salivation

A

sympathetics -> T1-T3 -> superior symp ganglion -> norepi -> cAMP increased
