Q

What tissue is responsible for the branching of salivary glands?

A

Q

During the canalicular stage, what process must take place in surrounding tissues to make room for the lumen? What transcription factor helps the cells that make up the tubules to survive?

A

Caspase mediated apoptosis

survivin helps ensure the survival of the tubular cells

Q

Salivary gland development depends on what two neurotransmitters? Where are those neurotransmitters released from?

A

1-Acetylcholine (parasympathetic from otic ganglion at the time of gland formation)
2-Norepinephrine (sympathetic from efferent nerves in the cervical ganglion)

Q

Which neurotransmitter is associated with the sympathetic nervous system, B-adrenergic receptor, Gs protein, Adenylyl cyclase and cAMP?

A

Norepinephrine

17
Q

What are the 2 stages of saliva secretion?

A

1-Fluid secretion (Acinus)

2-NaCl reasorption and K secretion (Ducts)

18
Q

What are the two main kinds of protein secretion?

A

1-Constitutive (secretion through vesicles)

2-Regulated pathways (neurotransmitter dependent rapid release of granules)

19
Q

Which receptor is stimulated by neurotransmitters (mainly norepi) to exocytose large secretory granules?

A

B-adrenergic

20
Q

EGF levels are high during which stage of salivary gland development?

A

Terminal Bud stage

21
Q

parasympathetic innervation for salivary glands develops when? what about sympathetic innervation?

A

parasympathetic before birth

sympathetic after

22
Q

sympathetic innervation of salivary glands causes what kind of secretion?
parasympathetic?

A

symp - protein

para - water

23
Q

what is the parasympathetic neurotransmitter? what is the receptor for it on salivary glands? what cell surface proteins does that receptor activate? which activates what enzyme and what second messenger?

A
Acetylcholine
M3R receptor
Gaq - cell surface protein
PLC - enzyme
IP3 - SEcondary messenger
24
Q

what is the sympathetic neurotransmitter? what is the receptor for it on salivary glands? what cell surface proteins does that receptor activate? which activates what enzyme and what second messenger?

A
Norepinephrince
Beta Adrenergic receptor
Gas - cell surface protein
Adenylyl cyclase - enzyme
cAMP - secondary messenger
25
Q

what is the two stage hypothesis for salivary maturation?

A

in the acinus the secretion is in its first stage and it is hypertonic with NaCl. Then it travels down the tubules and NaCL is taken out and K+ and Bicarb are put in and is hypotonic during this second stage

26
Q

what allows for one way secretion of water and saliva?

A

tight junctions

27
Q

T/F ducts are impermeable to water?

A

true
