Salivary Glands Flashcards
Salivary glands. Exocrine or endocrine
Why?
-exocrine (use ducts)
How much saliva do salivary glands secrete
0.75 to 1.5 L per day
What happens to salivary secretion when we are asleep and why?
salivary secretion drops when we are asleep because PNS activity drops
the glands are divided into—— which are divided into numerous—- which are separated by——-
lobes
lobules
septa
septa is made up of supportive—- , accommodates the———, and large interlobular———
connective tissue stroma
blood vessels, nerves
excretory ducts
each tubular lobules contain___ and———
acini
branching ducts
the acini is the—— unit and the branching duct is the——- unit
secretory
excretory
——ducts unite to form—— ducts that unite to form— ducts that unit to form a—— duct
intercalated
intralobular
interlobular
main
the cells of the acini appear—— in sections with their apex facing the—— and their base resting on a——
triangular
lumen
basement membrane
the acini can either be——- which produces——- fluid or—- which produces a—— fluid , or——
serous; watery
mucous; thick
mixed
cytoplasmic contents of serous and mucous acini are the same.
T/F
F. They vary
serous cells have a——- nucleus while that of mucous is—— against the base of the cells
rounded
flattened
secretion of serous cells are—- while that of mucous cells are rich in a ———stored as——
proteinaceous
glycoprotein product

List the 3 types of BRANCHING DUCTS
intercalated, secretory, excretory
Secretory duct is also called ——-
striated
INTERCALATED are—— ducts continuous with the——-
-lined with ———cells
slender
terminal acini
flat spindle shaped
How do intercalated and secretory ducts alter salivary secretion
INTERCALATED-secrete bicarbonate and absorb chloride ions
SECRETORY: reabsorb sodium and secrete potassium
INTERCALATED duct, intralobular or interlobular duct
intralobular duct
SECRETORY ducts are lined by—- to—— cells
cuboidal; columnar
Secretory ducts have basal straitions due to———
infolding of the basal membranes
Secretory duct, intralobular or interlobular duct
Intralobular
Largest branching duct is the ——-?
Excretory duct
EXCRETORY Ducts are lined with ——-epithelium
peudostratified ciliated
Effect of excretory ducts on salivary contents?
doesn’t change the salivary contents
Excretory duct, intralobular or interlobular duct
Interlobular
MYOEPITHELIAL CELLS aka——-
basket cells
MYOEPITHELIAL CELLS are located between ——-and—— of secretory cells
basement membrane
plasma membrane
