Salivary Glands and Lymphatics Flashcards
What drives latera and caudal folding
Mesoderm
What regulates the secretion of the lymphatic glands
motor and sensory nerves
Which nodes can you palpate for clinical assessment ?
Superficial Nodes
Which nodes are more difficult to palpate ?
Cervical deep lymph
Development of Lymph Nodes
6 steps
- Lymphatic Endothelial Cells leave the blood vessels
- LECs Aggregate to form Lymph sacs with groups of mesenchyme.
- Form the lymphatic nodules
- The nodules become surrounded by sinuses, with mesenchyme completing the lymph node. Start of the formation of cavities
- Lymphatic cells migrate from three different locations: Mesenchyme, Thymus (Pre birth), Marrow (Bone)
- Partition- A capsule (outside) and trabeculae (btwn the cell walls) surround the lymphatic nodules from surrounding mesenchyme.
Lymph node fluid is received from the
afferent lymphatic vessels
Filtered lymph collects in the
medulla
Fluid drains out the the lymph node via
efferent lymphatic vessel
at the hilum of the node
Are there more afferent or efferent lymphatic vessels?
Afferent ( slows down the flow of lymph)
Nodes are connected via
lymphatic vessels
Extracellular fluid is absorbed by lymph capillaries via
hydrostatic pressure
Lymph is filtered by
one or more lymph nodes before returning to venous circulation
The lymph node is surrounded by _______ and bands of connective tissue _______ extending from the capsule into the node
capsule, trabeculae
What is the purpose of the lymph capsule ?
dense connective tissue that protect the lymph
Tonsils can form from …
Lymph sacs
Tonsils are made from
- Un encapsulated Lymphatic tissue
2. covered in nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium
Empty acelluar portion of tonsils are called
Tonsillar crypts
Tonsilloliths
Tonsillar crypts can incase debris and calcifications
Which pouch does the tonsillar ring develop from?
Second pouch
Another name for Tonsillar Ring ?
Waldeyer’s Ring
Purpose of tonsillar ring ?
Immunologic protection, “First Pass” at the entrance of digestive and respiratory tracts
What are the four main tonsils in the ring ?
- Palantine
- Tubal
- phayngeal (adenoids)
- Lingual
Which tonsil is between palatophayngeal and palatoglossal
palantine
Which tonsil is in the lateral walls of the nasopharynx posterior to the auditory tube ?
Tubal
Which tonsil is at the roof of the nasopharynx?
Pharyngeal (adenoids)
Which tonsil is at the base of the tongue, posterior 2/3rds ?
Lingual
Why do we need saliva ?
- chemical break down of sugar
- Antibacterial Combat dryness
- Combat dryness
- Helps remineralize the tooth surface
Parotid gland develops from
step 1
step 2
an invagination of ectoderm between the maxillary and mandibular swelling
- Tubular ducts sink into the mesenchyme
- Duct opening in the mouth is transferred to the inner cheek via fusion of the max and mand swelling
