Q

Post ganglionic SYMPATHETIC fibers arise from what ganglion?

A

arise from “superior cervical sympathetic ganglion”, then form plexus around external carotid artery and its branch middle meningeal branch to supply parotid gland

24
Q

What is Frey’s syndrome? And why does it happen?

A

When patient eats beads of sweat appear on the skin covering
the parotid gland.

Cause: This is due to union of auriculotemporal nerve & great auricular
nerve (supply skin over the parotid gland including sweat glands) within the parotid gland during wound healing process.

25
Q

What is crocodile tears syndrome?

A

Spontaneous tearing in parallel with the normal salivation of eating.

Why? often following facial paralysis when nerve fibers destined for a salivary gland are damaged and by mistake regrow into a tear gland. (t the fascial nerve branches are in relation wi th the lacrimal nerve)

26
Q

1)A slow growing benign tumor in the parotid usually does not show facial nerve involvement

2)A rapidly growing carcinoma of the gland can show the
involvement of facial nerve.

A

Facial nerve

28
Q

Patient with parotid tumor is presented with lots of food in their vestibule, which branch of facial nerve is affected?

A

Buccal facial nerve; it supplies the buccinator muscle that cleans the vestibule and doesn’t allow food to accumulate in there.

29
Q

Patient with parotid tumor is presented with trouble whistling and blowing, which branch of facial is affected?

A

Buccal facial n. Which supplies the buccinator muscle

30
Q

when u ask the patient to smile and the angle of the mouth won’t be widened nor depressed, which branch of facial is affected?

A

marginal mandibular branch

31
Q

The parotid duct may be blocked by a ? And pain due to this can be worsened by ? Because saliva builds us

A

Calculus
Eating

A radiopaque fluid can be injected into the duct system through a cannula inserted through the orifice of the parotid duct and the radiograph is taken. This procedure is called sialography
(sialo=saliva).

32
Q

The enlargement of the parotid glands and multiple dental caries are common in?

A

Bulimic people (binge and purge)

33
Q

Where is the submandibular gland situated ?

A

Submandibular fossa in the mandible

34
Q

Submandibular glad is intended by?

A

Mylohyoid muscle. (-

35
Q

Superficial part of submandibular gland: الفص اللي برا

What are the structures in the inferior surface?

A
Skin
Platysma 
Deep fascia
Cervical facial n.
Facial vein
Submandibular LN
36
Q

Superficial part of submandibular gland:

Lateral surface structures?

A

Facial artery

Submandibular fossa

37
Q

which structure is most likely to be injured during surgical removal of the superficial part of the sub mandibular salivary gland ?

A

Facial artery imp

38
Q

Relations of the superficial part of submandibular gland - Medial surface

A

Anterior part:

  • mylohyoid and its vessels
  • submental art.

Middle part:

  • hyoglossus muscle
  • lingual n. (superficial to hyoglossus)
  • hypoglossal n. (superficial to hyoglossus)
  • submandibular ganglion

Posterior part (deep to hyoglossus muscle):

  • lingual art.
  • glossopharyngeal n.
39
Q

Relations of deep part of submandibular gland? (Lateral, medial, above, and below)

A
Lateral= mylohyoid
Medial= hyoglossus
Above= lingual n. + submandibular ganglion
Below= hypoglossal n.
40
Q

Submandibular salivary gland is removed in cases of tumor in it. During surgery, care must be taken to avoid injury to which structures?

A

facial nerve, facial artery, lingual nerve and hypoglossal nerve.

*ركزي لو قال removal of superficial part of submandibular الاجابة تكون facial artery *

41
Q

Submandibular duct location

A

in the floor of the mouth- sublingual papillae - by the side of
the lingual frenulum.

42
Q

Sublingual salivary gland location?

A

Located below the tongue, in the floor of the mouth between the mucous membrane and mylohyoid muscle.

43
Q

Sublingual salivary gland duct opening?

A

Summit of sublingual fold

44
Q

if you are removing a stone from the submandibular salivary gland DUCT which nerve may be injured?

A

Lingual nerve
Because the DUCT has triple relation with the lingual nerve (lingual nerve is related to lateral, inferior & medial side of the duct).

45
Q

which nerve carries taste sensation from the anterior end of the tounge?

A

Chorda tympani branch if facial n

Lingual n

46
Q

Preganglionic parasympathetic secretomotor pathway for submandibular and sublingual glands?

A
Superior salivatory nucleus of pons
 ⬇️
Facial nerve (VII) 
⬇️
Chorda tympani nerve + joins w lingual n. (Branch of mandibular n.)
⬇️
Submandibular ganglion
⬇️
Submandibular & Sublingual gland (Some of the postganglionic fibers join the lingual nerve and supplies sublingual salivary gland)j
47
Q

Salivary glands are:
1- compound tubuloalveolar glands
2-simple tubular
3-compound tubular

A

1- compound tubuloalveolar glands

48
Q
  1. Serous salivary gland
A

Not a question

49
Q

Saliva function?

A

-moistens food
-lubricates the digestive tract
-digestion of carbohydrates
-excrete certain salts and protect against bacterial invasion by
releasing lysosome and IgA into the saliva

50
Q

Where does the parotid duct open?

A

In the vestibule opposite to the 2nd upper maxillary molar tooth

51
Q

Describe serous acini

A
Smaller
Smaller lumen
Circular
Circular round nucleus at base
Pyramidal cells
Produce protein rich watery secretion
52
Q

Describe mucous acini

A
Oval 
Larger
Larger lumen
Columnar cells
Flat nucleus at base
Produce thick glycosaminoglycan-rich secretion (mucus)
53
Q

What are parotid gland sections (it’s serous salivary gland)?
serous gland secretions are watery and rich w protein

A

25% of the total salivary volume
amylase, maltase, sialomucin
enzyme resistant secretory IgA

54
Q

Why cells of mucous acini (like sublingual) appear empty when stained?

A

Cells of mucous acini contain large numbers of mucinogen granules in the apical part . This mucinogen is lost in H&E stained paraffin sections, hence appear empty

55
Q

Submandibular gland secretions

A

produce approximately 70% of the salivary volume, contain both mucous and serous (mostly serous) acini.
-The serous secretion contain sialomucin and have weak amylase activity
-The mucous acinus may be capped by serous demilunes composed of several lysozyme-secreting
serous cells

56
Q

Cells of serous acini show basal basophilic (hematoxylin) because of rough ER and free ribosomes.

The apical part of the acinar cell is eosinophilic (eosin) stain because of secretary granules

A
