23
Q

types of acini of salivary glands?

A

1) serous acini
2) mucous acini
3) mixed acini, composed of mucous cells & serous cells, the latter making serous demilunes

24
Q

what is this, what is arrow pointing to

A

mixed acini (in submandibular gland)

arrow > serous demilnue, consists of serous cells forming a semilunar cap at terminal portion of mucous acinus

25
Q

what is this

A

myoepithelial cells located btwn basal plasma membranes of acinar cells & basement membranes

26
Q

make up of myoepithelial cells?

A

actin, cytokeratin

have contractility

27
Q

what is this

A

salivary gland

showing arrangement of acini and intralobular ducts

28
Q

cell type of duct cells?

A

simple columnar epithelium w/ basal striations

29
Q

what marks mitochondrial enzymes?

A

succinic dehydrogenase

30
Q
A

striated duct

marked by SDH in mitochondria

31
Q

cell type lining intercalated / striated intralobular duct cells?

A

intercalated: simple cuboidal epithelium
striated: simple columnar epithelium

32
Q

cell types of interlobular, lobar, and main excretory ducts?

A

interlobular: psuedostratified columnar
lobar: stratified columnar
main: stratified squamous

33
Q
A

interlobar ducts between lobes

34
Q

what type of gland is parotid?

A

pure serous gland

ONLY serous acini; intercalated ducts; conspicuous striated ducts

35
Q

what is this

A

parotid gland

pure serous gland

36
Q

what is this

A

submandibular gland

mixed gland; serous acini > mucous acini

mixed acini w/ serous demilunes

intercalated ducts

conspicuous straited ducts

37
Q

what is this

A

sublingual gland

mixed gland

mucous acini > serous acini

mixed acini w/ serous demilunes

intralobular ducts are poorly developed

38
Q

rank salivary glands re: intercalated duct size

A

1) parotid
2) submandibular
3) sublingual - rare or absent intercalated ducts

39
Q

rank salivary glands re: straited duct size

A

well-developed: parotid, submandibular

poorly developed: sublingual

40
Q

how much of saliva does each salivary gland contribute? what is nature of secretion?

A

parotid: 30%, watery, rich in enzymes
sublingual: 5%, thick, mucous
submandibular: 60%, mixture of enzyme & mucous secretion of intermediate consistency

41
Q

describe functional unit of salivary gland

A
42
Q

describe saliva

A

hypotonic, alkaline solution in oral cavity

43
Q

other functions of saliva?

A

lubrication

protection

antimicrobial activity

44
Q

function of secretory IgA?

A

component of saliva with antibacterial and antiviral actions

45
Q

other functions of saliva

A

1) lubrication, protection, antimicrobial activity
2) antibacterial, antiviral via Secretory IgA
3) digestion of carbs via starch
4) growth factors- epidermal growth factor, nerve growth factor
5) biological active proteins (cystatins, histatins, proline-rich proteins)
6) calcium for phosphate for remineralization of teeth

46
Q

pellicles?

A

proline-rich protective coat saliva forms on teeth

prevents adherence of bacteria, yeast

47
Q

what do parasympathetic/sympathetic control of saliva contribute to?

A

parasympathetic: watery, electroyte rich saliva; high volume
sympathetic: viscous, mucin and protein rich saliva; low volume

48
Q

how do exocrine secretions leave pancreas?

A

main pancreatic duct joins bile duct to open into duodenum

duct carrie secretion of exocrine pancreas into duodenum

49
Q

what kind of gland is pancreas?

A

compound acinar gland - has CT septa, lobes, lobules

50
Q
A

serous pancreatic acini

contain centroacinar cells in lumen

51
Q
A

centroacinar cells from beginning portion of intercalated duct of exocrine pancreas

52
Q

what and where is this? type of release involved?

A

zymogen granules of pancreatic acinar cells

digestive enzymes within are released by merocrine mechanism

53
Q

what/when does pancreas secrete?

A

pancreas secretes a fluid containing digestive enzymes & bicarbonate ions & water in response to acid chyme in duodenum & jejunum

54
Q

what do pancreatic acinar cells secrete?

A

an enzyme-rich fluid

stimulated by cholescystokinin (CCK)

contains many digestive enzymes

55
Q

what do pancreatic duct cells secrete? stimulated by what?

A

a fluid rich in bicarbonate ions & water

secretion is stimulated by secretin

autonomic nerves are secondarily important to secretion

56
Q

what is same/different about exocrine pancreas and parotid gland?

A

both= compound acinar gland, contains only serous secretory acini

HOWEVER, pancreas distinguishable histologically from parotid by:

1) presence of centroacinar cells
2) absence of straited ducts
3) absence of myoepithelial cells
