Q

What happens during root development of tooth development?

A
  • double layered epithelial root sheath is formed.
  • root sheath encloses dental papilla and forms the future shape of the root, and forms the apical foramen.
  • peripheral cell of root sheath of dental papilla form into odontoblasts
  • dental follicle cells turn into cementoblasts and cememtogenesis starts
  • remaining dental follicle cells become fibroblasts of the PDL
  • collagen secreted by fibroblasts become embedded as sharpeys fibre into developing cementum and alveolor bone,

- Serous: watery, protein rich fluid.

115
Q

what are the differences between mucous and serous acini?

A
  • mucous : tubes rather than spheres, form their own duct system with no intercalated or striated ducts. have a ‘cap’ of serous secreting cells (serous demilune)
  • Serous: globe shaped structure - made from many secreting cells that empty into a intercalated duct.
116
Q

How does saliva travel from the serous acinus to the secretory duct?

A

into a intercalated duct, then this emptys into a striated duct (where active exchange occurs) then into a secretory duct.

117
Q

do the parasympathetic or sympathetic fibres of the automic nervous system innervate the acinic in major salivary glands to secrete?

A

both.

118
Q

do the parasympathetic or sympathetic fibres of the automic nervous system innervate the acinic in minor salivary glands to secrete?

A

parasympathetic

119
Q

why is saliva isotonic in the acinus and then hypertonic in the secretory ducts?

A

when saliva passes through the striated ducts, sodium chloride and bicarbonate is removed turning it hypertonic.

120
Q

A

100% serous and hypertonic

121
Q

where is the parotid gland found?

A

122
Q

is the parotid gland a spontaneous secretor?

A

no - its nonspontaneous.

123
Q

what saliva is produced by the sublingual gland?

A

1:10 Serous:mucous

isotonic (due to having no striated ducts)

124
Q

where is the sublingual gland found?

A

under the tongue.

125
Q

A

yes

126

A

10:1 Serous:mucous

hypertonic

127
Q

where is the submandibular gland found?

A

128
Q

is the submandibular gland a spontaneous secretor?

A

no -its nonspontaneous.

129
Q

what gland has more ducts the parotid or submandibular? and why?

A

Parotid has more because the submandibular has mucous cells rather than all serous.
