Sos: Oral Cavity and Salivary Glands Flashcards
central processing centers of appetite regulation
arcuate nucleus
area postrema
_____located in hypothalamus and controls appetite
arcuate nucleus
_____located in brainstem and controls appetite
are postrema
state in which energy intake exceeds energy expenditure
obesity
this part of the brain deals with pleasure
amygdala
hormone produced by adipose tissue that suppresses appetite
leptin
hormone produced by pancreas and used to decreased glucose in blood and suppress appetite
insulin
hormone secreted by stomach wall and increases appetite
Ghrelin
receptor in the brain that tells us we are not hungry
GLP-1
hormone in hypothalamus that increases hunger
Orexin
largest salivary gland
parotid gland
parotid gland drains saliva through what duct
Stensen’s duct
this duct can get obstructed and saliva won’t drain
Stensen’s duct
drains 70% of saliva
submandibular glands
saliva from submandibular glands drains through____
Wharton’s duct
found in floor of oral cavity and contains multiple ducts
sublingual glands
gland?
parotid gland (serous)
gland?
submandibular gland (mucinous and serous)
gland?
sublingual gland (mucinous)
only digestive secretion controlled by neural factors
salivary secretion
cause large quantity of watery secretion rich in electrolytes and enzymes
parasympathetic nerves
cause a release of mucus in the saliva
sympathetic nerves
parasympathetic n. innervating all 3 glands of oral cavity
CN IX (glossopharyngeal)
2 main parasympathetic nerves producing saliva secretion
CN VII and CN IX
sympathetic innervation causing decrease in salivation
superior cervical ganglion (T1-T3)
main function of salivary glands
lubrication
2 main functions of saliva itself
protects against microorganisms
breaks down starches
enzymes in saliva that break down starch
amylase and lipase
____% of starch is broken down in oral cavity
30%
lipase in stomach prefers____ pH
acidic
lipase in pancreas prefers ____ pH
basic
1st step in saliva production
acinar cells produce isotonic solution
2nd step in saliva production
solution becomes hypotonic when passes through ductal tree
how is saliva made isotonic
NaCl + H2O into blood
how is saliva made hypotonic
NaCl out of blood and HCO3- in
deglutition
swallowing
main function of enteric NS
push contents down the GI tract
mastication and release of saliva in presence of food
oral phase of swallowing
bolus of food at base of tongue triggers autonomic reflex of swallowing
pharyngeal phase of swallowing
waves of esophageal peristalsis
esophageal phase of swallowing
provides sensory and motor innervation to oropharynx
CN IX (glossopharyngeal)
provides sensory and motor innervation to upper teeth and hard palate
CN V (trigeminal)
nerve that provides taste and facial expression
CN VII (facial)
cutaneous surface: outside lip
oral surface: inside lip
inside lip
most common cancer of skin and oral cavity
SCC
Consists of intrinsic and extrinsic muscles that manipulate food for mastication and swallowing
tongue
All regions of the tongue that have _____ detect all five taste qualities
taste buds
difficulty swallowing
dysphagia
painful swallowing
Odynophagia
