Salivary And Gastric Acid Secretions Flashcards
T/F Mastication is not essential for digestion of food
T
Functions of salivary components
. Lubricating food (mucins) for ease of swallowing
. Dissolving components in food for the sensation of taste
. Maintaining the health of oral tissues
. Allaying thirst
. Facilitating speech
. Promoting absorption of vit. B12
. Initiating digestion of carbs
. Neutralizing H in the distal esophagus
. Promoting health of esophageal epithelium
Secretion by acinar cells
. Primary electrolyte secretion isotonic to plasma
. Secretes the enzyme amylase (active form)
. Secretes mucins
. Tight junctions are permeable to water
Modification by ductal cells
. Actively reabsorbs Na
. HCO3 is exchanged for luminal Cl
. Actively secretes HCO3
. Tight junctions are impermeable to water
. Aldosterone inc. the absorption of Na by ductal cells but not the rate of salivary secretion
Regulation of salivary secretion
. Parasympathetic and sympathetic (not enteric) nn. Control the rate and volume of salivary secretion
. Rate and volume of salivary secretion is not under direct hormonal control
Salivary reflex
. Initiated by smell, taste, and/or tactile stimuli in mouth
. Reflex integrated in brainstem
. Parasympathetic and sympathetic efferent n. Activities are inc. and salivary secretion is inc.
. Parasympathetic nervous system is most important, resulting in sustained, high volume secretion of watery saliva
. SNS input to salivary glands inc. secretion of proteins and maintains high blood flow to gland by releasing no adrenergic vasodilators
Rate of salivary secretion is inc. by ___
. Inc. by nausea and vomiting
. Inc. parasympathetic n. Activity
Rate of salivary secretion is dec. by ___
. Fatigue, sleep, fear, dehydration
. Inhibition of parasympathetic nervous system
The final salivary secretion is ___ at all flow rates
Hypotonic
. HCO3 secretion is high
What occurs at slowest salivary flow rate
. Ductal cells reabsorb most Na
. HCO3 is exchanged for Cl
. Lowest conc. Of Na and highest conc. Of K in final salivary secretion
What occurs at fastest salivary flow rate?
. Ductal cells reabsorb little Na
. Highest conc. Of Na and lowest conc. Of K in final salivary secretion
. Active secretion of HCO3
Aldosterone effect on salivary secretion
. Modify the electrolyte conc. Of final secretion by inc. ductal cell Na reabsorption
. Do NOT regulate rate of salivary flow
. Inc. synthesis and insertion of ENaC into apical membrane of salivary ductal cells
Substances that aid in food digestion
. HCl from parietal cells
. Pepsinogen from chief cells
. intrinsic factor from parietal cells
. Gastric lipase from chief cells
Endocrine and paracrine substances that modulate HCl secretion
. Gastrin from G cells
. Histamine from enterochromaffin -like cells
. Somatostatin from D cells
Substances that protect the stomach lining
. Mucins from surface mucous cells and mucous neck cells
. HCO3 from surface mucous cells ad mucous neck cells
