Salivary and Gastirc Secretory Functions Flashcards
is saliva hyper or hypotonic
hypotonic
what type of control is saliva under
neuronal not hormonal
do hormones have an influence on saliva
they can modify it
what are the functions of saliva
taste, lubrication, protection, digestion, speech
What are the main components of saliva
water, mucus, alpha amylase, lingual lipase, ribonuclease, lysozyme, lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, IgA, Bicarb
what are the functions of water and mucus in the saliva
dissolving, tasting and swallowing food. lubricaitons and makes a cohesive bolus
what is the function of alpha amylase in saliva
card digestion, breaks the alpha 1-4 bonds
What is the role of lingual lipase in saliva
fat digestion, hydrolysis of dietary lipid
what is the role of lysozyme in saliva
antibacterial, innate and aquired immunity
what is the role of lactoferrin in saliva
chelates iron
what is the role of bicarb in saliva
minimize tooth decay and neutralize refluxed gastric acid into lower esophagus
what is the primary secretory products of acini and duct cells
alpha amylase, mucus and ECF
What do acini cells secrete
saliva H2O na Cl K HCO3 and amylase
what is the role of myoepithelial cells in salivary glands
motile, contract to expel saliva
what is the role of ducta cells in salivary glands
modify secretion by modifying electrolytes
Na Cl reabsorbed
K HCO3 secreted
what is the role of the striated duct epithelium tight junction in salivary glands
H2O cannot leave duct
What is the ufunctional unit of the salivary gland
salivon
At low rates of secretion describe saliva
hypotonic, high K, low NaCl
at high secretion levels describe saliva
osmolality increases, high HCO3, high pH
Salivary duct cells produce a hypotonic fluid that usually has what composition of electrolytes
low NaCl
rich KHCO3
What are the steps for Na reabsorption in salivary glands
Na enters through epithelial Na Channels
NaK ATPase pump extrudes Na
What are the steps for Cl reabsorption in salivary glands
Cl enters through Cl HCO3 exchanger
Cl exits through basolateral Cl Channels
Where is HCO3 secreted by salivary glands
apical Cl-HCO3 exchanger
how is K secreted by salivary gland cells
uptake of K though Na K ATPase
