salivary glands are ___ that produce ______ which has _____ functions
-exocrine glands
-saliva
-digestive, lubricating and protective
pH of saliva? why?
-6.5-6.9
-buffering function
There are 3 pairs of salivary glands that produce ____: ______
-90% of saliva
-parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands
Parotid glands, located in _____, are branched acinar glands with exclusively ____ acini that secrete ______ that initiates hydrolysis of carbohydrates and _____
-each cheek near the ear
-serous
-α-amylase
-antimicrobial factors
Submandibular glands, which produce ____ of all saliva, are branched tubuloacinar glands, having primarily _____ acini, but with many ____ tubuloacinar secretory units
-two-thirds
-serous
-mixed/mucus
Sublingual glands, the _____ of the major glands, are also considered branched tubuloacinar glands, and the main product of the gland is _____.
-smallest
-mucus
salivary glands are surrounded by ____
CT capsule
The secretion of each gland is either serous, seromucous, or mucous, depending on _____
-its content of the glycoprotein mucin.
Saliva from the parotids is _____. The submandibular and sublingual glands produce a ______. The saliva of minor glands is mostly ______.
-serous and watery
-seromucous secretion
-mucous
Saliva is modified by the cells of ____ draining the secretory units, with much ______ reabsorbed while _____ are added.
-the duct system
-Na+ and Cl−
-certain growth factors and digestive enzymes
All glands contain ______ (striated duct) and _____ (intercalated ducts)
-ducts of bigger diameter
-branching ducts
The acinar end-pieces are secretory units specialized in a _____
-single type of secretion (serous, mucous or mixed)
myoepithelial cells do what?
provide some contraction to help move saliva from acini
blood vessels & parasympathetic nerves signal ____
saliva & duct production
salivary gland formation general
-epithelial tissue branching into mesenchyme and cleft formation in bud cells to increase SA
stages of salivary gland development
1) initial bud stage
2) pseudoglandular stage
3) cananilcular stage
4) terminal bud stage
initial bud stage of salivary gland
proliferation of simple bud-like structure connected to epithelium by solid stalk and invaginates into mesenchyme
pseudoglandular stage of salivary gland
-formation of main stalk & budding
Cananlicular stage of salivary gland
-branching morphogenesis + myoepithelial cells
Terminal stage of salivary gland
well developed salivary gland
Budding stage requires this signalling pathway: ____
FGF
Pseudoglandular-Canalicular (Duct formation) requires this signalling pathway: ____
WNT (first in mesenchyme,bud)
HH
EGF
Notch
EDA (WNT antagonist)
Terminal differentiation stage requires this signalling pathway: ____
FGF
EGF
BMP
EDA
Signaling from the _____ are all required and interact with one another to regulate salivary gland development. In addition, interactions with ______ are required
-epithelium, basement membrane and mesenchyme
-adhesion proteins and the nervous system
