salivary secretion Flashcards
1
Q
parotid gland
A
- secretion serous (lack mucin)
- thin
2
Q
submandibular and sublingual
A
- mixed mucus and serous
- thick
3
Q
salivary secretion is controlled by
A
- parasympathetic (high volume but thinner) and sympathetic (low volume but thicker) both stimulate saliva secretion
- not under hormonal control
- CHLORIDE PUMP only found in saliva
4
Q
saliva has
A
- low osmolality making saliva hypotonic (NaCl goes out HCO3 comes in)
- HCO3 neutralized acid (acetazolamide inhibit HCO3 going to saliva)
- decrease HCO3 rotting of teeth
- hyposmolar
- if hypertonic won’t be able to taste food
5
Q
GI
A
- sympathetic low action
- parasympathetic increase action
6
Q
HIV transfer in saliva is not possible due to
A
- IgA neutralizes infection
7
Q
sjogren syndrome (autoimmune disease)
A
- attacking salivary and lacrimal ducts
- dry eyes, dyspareunia, loose teeth
8
Q
saliva
A
- amylase and lipase to taste better and for better digestion (though its not necessary for life no like in pancreas)
9
Q
gastric mucosa secrete
A
- highly viscous alkaline fluid (mucin plus HCO3)
- for protection from HCL
10
Q
NSAIDS such aspirin
A
- decrease secretion of mucin and HCO3
- by inhibiting prostaglandin (from stretch)
11
Q
gastic pH
A
- 1.0 more acid than the blood
12
Q
stretch/distension
A
- makes the acids (ACh, gastrin etc.)
13
Q
parietal cells
A
- HCL
- intrinsic factor combines with vitamin B12
- reabsorbed in distal ileum
14
Q
chief cells
A
- pepsinogen is converted to pepsin by H+
- pepsin begins the digestion of protein
15
Q
mucous neck cells
A
- secrete the protective mucus, HCO3 combination
