Q

What protein plays a role in the tissue repair function of saliva

A

growth factors

26
Q

What protein plays a role in the digestive function of saliva

A

mucins (for chewing/swallowing)

amylase and lipase

27
Q

What protein plays a role in the taste function of saliva

A

stuff needs to be dissolved in water to taste it

28
Q

What gland empties into wharton’s duct

A

submandibular

29
Q

What gland empties into bartholin’s and rivinus’s duct

A

sublingual

30
Q

What gland empties into stenson’s duct

A

parotid

31
Q

What does the stroma of a salivary gland do? what kind of tissue?

A

provides structural support, forms capsule and organizes it into lobes

connective tissue

32
Q

What does the parenchyma of a salivary gland do? what kind of tissue?

A

makes the saliva and discharges it to final destination

epithelial tissue

33
Q

What does the stroma contain

A
fibroblasts
blood vessels
nerve fibers
plasma cells
fat cells
34
Q

What are the two components of parenchyma

A

acini (grapes)

ducts

35
Q

What week does the parotid gland start to develop

A

6th week IU (beginning)

36
Q

What week does the submandibular gland start to develop

A

6th week IU (end)

37
Q

What week does the sublingual gland start to develop

A

8-12 weeks IU

38
Q

What embryonic tissue does the parenchyma come from

A

ectoderm or endoderm

39
Q

What embryonic tissue does the stroma come from

A

neural crest

40
Q

How do salivary glands develop

A
  1. protrusion of epithelial cells in mesenchyme and bud formation (kind of like odonotgeneis)
  2. strong epithelial-mesenchyme interactions
  3. branching morphogenesis
  4. cavitation
41
Q

How does e-cadherin relate to branching morphogenesis?

A

the cell redirects e-cadherin expression at the cleft where branching occurs

(not simply turning it off)

42
Q

What are the two actions cleftin (BTBD7)

A

suppresses e-cadherin expression***most imp

up regulates snail2

43
Q

What induces expression of cleftin?

A

fibronectin

44
Q

What does snail2 do (probably)

A

transcription factor that probably promotes a change in cell shape in salivary glands during branching

45
Q

Are acini cells h2o permeable?

A

yes

46
Q

Describe the primary secretion of acinar cells

A

isotonic

water, ions, proteins

47
Q

Are duct cells permeable?

A

no

48
Q

What do duct cells secrete?

A

bicarbonate

proteins

49
Q

What do duct cells resorb?

A

sodium and chloride

50
Q

Secondary secretion: isotonic, hypertonic or hypotonic?

A

hypotonic

51
Q

What controls salivary secretion?

A

neural control–different than most glands (blood born hormones)

parasymp and symp

52
Q

What two cranial nerves are important for salivary glands

A

VII, IX

53
Q

What branch of the ANS is responsible for protein secretion

A

sympathetic NS

produces a protein rich, viscous solution that is not voluminous

54
Q

What neurotransmitter is associated with sympathetic activation

A

norepinephrine

starts cAMP cascade – PKA activated, stimulates protein synthesis

55
Q

What branch of the ANS would produce watery, copious saliva

A

parasympathetic

56
Q

What neurotransmitter is associated with parasympathetic activation

A

Ach

coupled with phospholipase C, eventually liberates Ca++ from ER, creating a concentration gradient to draw water out

57
Q

put in correct order:

salivary glands form branching structure

tongue develops

salivary gland begin development

cavitation occurs in salivary glands

A
  1. tongue develops
  2. salivary glands develop
  3. salivary glands begin branching
  4. cavitation occurs
58
Q

T/F: Branching in the salivary glands involves expression of a molecule called “cleftin” which in turn increases expression of cell-cell adhesion molecules.

A

false

59
Q

Saliva in the intercalated ducts is:

A

isotonic

60
Q

saliva in the oral cavity is:

A

hypotonic

61
Q

Why is saliva in the oral cavity isotonic?

A

due to the action of striated ducts NOT due to the action of excretory ducts
