Sweep 2 Flashcards
Sublingual
Lesser sublingual
(Rivinus’s) ducts anterior floor
Mostly mucous
Salivary Fluid Secretion
Intracellular Na+ kept low
Intracellular K+ kept high
Intracellular Cl- high
In unstimulated cells, Ca2+ levels are low, and Ca2+ activated K+ and Cl- channels are closed.
Upon stimulation, Ca2+ opens the Cl- and K+ channels.
Na+ leaks through tight junctions to follow Cl-
Mucin
Predominately produced by
sublingual & submandibular glands
Parasympathetic Synapse in
Trigeminal
Solitary Nucleus
Big Picture of salivation
Muscarinic or Alpha-adrenergic receptor activation
Intracellular calcium release
Calcium activated K+ and Cl- channels
Increase luminal Cl- concentration
Intercellular sodium follow
Water follows
Protein secretion by PKA mediated exocytosis
Acetylcholine
Primarily (some effect of Norepinephrine via α-adrenergic receptor)
Opening of Ca++ sensitive Cl- and K+ channels
Increased flow rate, lowered ductal modification
Muscarinic or α-adrenergic
Norepinephrine
Protein rich saliva
—PKA-mediated exocytosis
β-adrenergic receptor
Trypsin is an essential protease for
cleavage of proteins
Trypsinogen cleaved by
enteropeptidase
Intrinsic factor
needed for b12 absorption
Secretin, and CCK are
enterogastrones
Membrane bound enterokinase
converts trypsinogen to trypsin
Increased HCl—->Secretin—->
HCO3
Also, bicarbonate secretion is coupled to
Cl- ion absorption.
