GI Physiology I Flashcards
(70 cards)
salivary glands
submandibular
sublingual
parotid
buccal glands
saliva
hypotonic, protein, ucus, amylase, lysozyme
taste, lubricate, protect, digest, speech
amylase
saliva - alpha-amylase
-carb digestion
cleaves alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds in starch
lingual lipase
saliva - fat digestion
IgA
in saliva
bicarbonate
in saliva
minimize tooth decay and neutralize reflux gastric acid
taste
carbs and fats
not protein**
parotid
serous gland
submandibular and sublingual
mixed gland
ductal cells
water impermeable
- water not absorbed along with solute
- remains in lumen - results in hypotonic saliva
acinar cells
produce saliva
saliva composition
NaCl low
K and HCO3 high
high saliva flow
saliva resembles plasma
high NaCl
low K
low saliva flow
saliva dissimilar to plasma
low NaCl
high K
salivary secretion control
ANS - mainly PS
+ smell, taste, sound, sight, chewing, spicy and sour, smoking
- sleep, fear, anti-cholinergic, anti-depresants, dehydration, fatigue
xerostomia
dry mouth - absent saliva
sjogrens syndrome
autoimmune against salivary and lacrimal glands
xerostomia and keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eyes)
drooling
excess saliva - increased nervous stimulation
tx - anticholinergics and remove glands
parkinsons
increased saliva production
cystic fibrosis
high Na, Ca, and protein in saliva, sweat
lack CFTR
addisons
increased Na in saliva
decreased reabsorption**
primary aldosteronism
cushings
- decreased Na in saliva
- more reabsorbed**
salivary NaCl zero
increased K levels
digoxin therapy
increase Ca and K in saliva
upper esophagus
skeletal m - voluntary
