Large salivary glands Flashcards
(13 cards)
Large salivary glands, location and function
Produce moisture, serosmucosa in oral cavity
Gl. sublingualis monostoatic
not present in Eq.
Medial to gl. mandibularis, btw m.digastricus–> m.masseter
Extends along ductus mandibularis, caudal part in direct contact w the mandibular gland (Car)
Ductus sublingualis major
Gl. sublingualis monostoatic major duct:
Opens into sublingual curuncla togheter w. mandibular duct
Gl.sublingualis polystomatic
Series of small salivary glands, lies in the submucosa of the floor of the mouth.
- lies along ductus mandibularis
Ductus sublingualis minores
Gl.sublingualis polystomatic ducts:
open along ploca sublingualis
Gl. mandibularis
Btw basihyoid- ala atalntis
Partly covered by parotid gland
Ductus mandibularis
- passes rostrally btw m.mylohyoid-m.hyoglossus
- medial to sublingual glands
- opens at sublingual caruncula
Gl.parotidea
largest salivary gland (not in Bo)
- fills retromandibular fossa (fossa btw ramus mandibularis -ala atlantis)
- related dorally to ear
- covered by fascia (fascia parotidea)
Gl.parotidea, which vessels/structures are associated around this gland
behind the gland - A. carotis ext. V. jugularis ext., N. facialis. N. trigeminus
Gl. parotidea shape
Car= triangular and small Su= triangular and large Ox= club-shape Eq= large, ventral end larger
Gl. parotidea (Eq)
Fills the fossa retromandibular fossa completely
Its ventral part is wider, occupied the angle between the v.lingufacial and v.jugularis externa
Ductus gl. parotidea
Car - runs across the lateral surface of the M. masseter
Su, Bo, Eq – runs ventral to M. masseter
ends at the papilla parotidea
Pappila parotidea
on the lateral wall of the buccal vestibule
ductus parotideus ends on it:
located in dog, horse – opposite the third upper cheek tooth
located in ox opposite the fifth upper cheek tooth
