18
Q

Identify the cells

A

Upper = Mucuous cells

Lower = Serous cells

19
Q

The acini in the submandibular gland produce mucous and serous secretions, which one is produced proximally and distally?

A

Proximally = mucous secretions

Distally = serous secretions

20
Q

The parotid gland is mostly mucous or serous acini?

A

serous acini

21
Q

The submandibular gland is mostly mucous or serous acini?

A

mucous acini

22
Q

Serous demilunes are a component of this type of gland.

A

Submandibular and sublingual gland

23
Q

what are these types of cells?

A

Upper: serous demilunes

Lower: mucous-secreting cells

24
Q

What are these cells?

A

serous demilunes with mucous cells

25
Q

What is this cell?

A

serous demilunes

26
Q

Describe the parotid gland

A
  • largest of the salivary glands
  • produces only about 30% of the total salivary output
  • the saliva it produced is serous.
27
Q

What is this?

A

Parotid gland

28
Q

What is this?

A

Parotid gland

29
Q

What is this?

A

Parotid gland

30
Q

What is this?

A

Parotid gland

31
Q

Describe the submandibular gland

A
  • produces 60% of the total salivary output
  • manufactures mixed saliva, the major portion is serous.
32
Q

What is this?

A

Submadibular gland

33
Q

What is this?

A

Submandibular gland

34
Q

Describe the sublingual gland

A
  • composed mostly of mucous acini with serous demilunes
  • produces a mixed (mostly mucous) saliva.
35
Q

What is this?

A

Sublingual gland

36
Q

What is this?

A

sublingual

37
Q

What is this?

A

Sub-mandibular

38
Q

What is mumps?

A
  • is a viral disease caused by a paramyxovirus.
  • Painful swelling of the salivary glands
  • Painful testicular swelling (orchitis) and rash may also occur
39
Q

What is the autonomic control of the salivary glands?

A

Sympathetics

  • Serous
  • Superior cervical ganglion
  • Pre-ganglionics from T1-T3

Para-Sympathetics

  • Parotid = lesser petrosal branch of CN IX
  • Submandibular and sublingual = Chorda tympani CN VII
40
Q

What is this?

A

Pleiotropic Adenoma of the Parotid Gland

41
Q

What is this?

A

Pleiotropic Adenoma of the Parotid Gland

42
Q

What is a Pleiotropic Adenoma of the Parotid Gland?

A

Is a solitary tumor, slow growing, painless, firm and looks as a single nodular mass.

The tumor is “benign” but is aneuploid (it can recur after resection)

43
Q

What is this? (the whole thing)

A

Sialoadenitis

44
Q

What is Sialodenitis?

A
  • inflammation of the salivary glands
  • Small stones may block the salivary ducts leading to swelling of the affected gland
