Salivary and Gastric Acid Secretions Flashcards
Although not required, mastication is important for
mechanical breakdown, SA for saliva, easier swallowing
Saliva Function
lubrication, dissolving food for taste, heath of gums, R protein for Vit B12 absorption, amylase and ptyalin for carb digestion, HCO3 for H+ neutralization
3 salivary glands
parotid, submandibular, and sublingual
What types of cells are in salivary glands
acinar and ductal
Acinar cell secretions
isotonic electrolyte (Na, Cl, K, HCO3, H2O), active amylase, mucins, tight junctions permeable to water (SECRETION IS ISOTONIC)
Ductal cells
reabsorbs Na, HCO3 exchanges for luminal Cl, tight junctions impermeable to water
Which salivary gland cells have tight junctions impermeable to water?
ductal
Aldosterone effects salivary gland cells by
increasing the absorption of Na by ductal cells, doesn’t effect rate of salivary secretion
What regulates rate and volume of salivary secretion?
sympathetic and parasympathetic innervation
Final salivary secretion is ________ in comparison to plasma. (hypo- iso- hyper- tonic)
HYPOtonic
PNS and SNS activity cause
INCREASED salivation, intitiated by taste, smell, tactile stimuli in mouth
PNS increases release of what type of saliva
watery
SNS increased release of what type of saliva
proteins and maintains high blood flow to gland by releasing nonadrenergic vasodilators
Increased rate of salivation
by PNS during nausea and vomiting
Decreased rate of salivation
by inhibition of PNS by fatigue, sleep, fear, dehydration
What electrolyte is high at all salivary flow rates
HCO3
At the slowest salivary flow rate…
ductal cells reabsorb most Na and exchange most Cl for HCO3, therefore Na and Cl are low, and K is high
At the fastest salivary flow rate…
ductal cells reabsorb little Na, therefore highest concentration of Na and lowest K
During maximal PNS stimulation would the Na concentration of the saliva be high or low?
HIGH, fast salivation flow rate, low Na reabsorption by ductal cells
Gastric secretions have 3 main functions
Digestion, modulate HCl secretion, and protect lining of gut
Gastric substances that aid in digestion
HCl (parietal cells), Intrinsic Factor (parietal cells), Gastric lipase (chief cells), and pepsinogen (chief cells)
Gastric substances that modulate HCl secretion
Gastrin (G cells), Histamine (ECL cells), Somatostatin (D cells)
