    Salivary Secretion PDF

    This document discusses salivary secretion and the salivary glands. It describes the anatomy and histology of the three major salivary glands. The parotid gland secretes a serous fluid, while the submandibular gland secretes a mixed fluid and the sublingual gland secretes a mucous fluid. Saliva has various functions including lubrication, digestion of starches, protection of teeth and regulation of pH. The parasympathetic nervous system stimulates secretion through acetylcholine to produce a watery secretion, while the sympathetic system uses norepinephrine to produce a more viscous secretion. Disorders involving salivary secretion include mumps, dry mouth, and excessive salivation.

    Salivary secretion

     Salivary glands-Anatomy, N supply,


    histology
     Composition & Character
     Functions
     Regulation of Secretions
     Applied aspects
    Salivary secretion
     Salivary glands
    1. Parotid-Ducts of Stensen
    2. Submandibular-Ducts of Wharton
    3. Sublingual glands-Ducts of Rivinus
     Histology-

    Racemose glands made of


     Secretary end piece- made of acinar cells containing

    zymogen granules & myoepithelial cells.


     Ducts lined by myoepithelial cells.
    Salivary glands
    Gland Type Secretion
    Parotid(20%) Serous Watery, thin,
    rich in enzymes
    Submandibular Mixed Moderately
    (70%) viscous

    Sublingual Mucous Viscid, rich in


    (5%) mucous
    Composition & Character
     Relatively large volume 1500ml/day
     Ph= 7-8
    Composition
    - high potassium concentration
    - low osmolarity
    mechanism of secretion
    two stages in secretion
    - in acini
    -in salivary duct
    Composition depends on
    Condition of the body
    Type of stimulus
    Rate of secretion
    Aldosterone
    Saliva

    Water(99.5%) Solids(0.5%)

    Organic (0.3%) Inorganic(0.2%)

    Ptylin, lingual lipase Cations Anions


    Kallikrien ,IgA Na+ Cl-
    Lysozyme,Mucin K+ HCO3-
    Carbonic anhydrase Ca2+ PO4-
    Blood group sub. , Mg+ SO4 2-
    lactoferrin, Br-, Thiocyanates
    Prolein rich proteins
    Functions
    1.Mechanical functions
    -Keeps the mouth moist
    - Helps in speech-facilitating movements of lips
    and tongue
    -Acts as lubricant & helps in bolus formation
    -Dilutes hot & irritant substances
    -Facilitates swallowing

    -Acts as lubricant & helps in bolus formation
    -Dilutes hot & irritant substances
    -Facilitates swallowing
    2. Digestive Function
    -Lingual lipase-Ebner’s glands on dorsal
    surface of tongue. It is active in the stomach
    and digests as much as 30% of dietary
    triglyceride
    -Ptyalin –salivary amylase- splits cooked
    starch into maltose. Optimal Ph –6.7, action
    inhibited in stomach
     3. Excretory function
    - excretes urea, drugs, heavy metals,
    thiocyanates
     4. Protective function –
    IgA
    lysozymes
    proline rich proteins-protects tooth enamel
    & binds toxic tannins
    Washes down the food debris & prevents
    bacterial growth
     5.Serves as a solvent for the molecules that stimulate the
    taste buds.
     6.Keeps the mouth & teeth clean
     7. Helps in water balance
     8. Helps in temperature regulation
     9.Buffering action- HCO3- , PO4- & mucin are the 3
    buffering systems & maintain the oral pH of about 7
    which prevents the diffusion of Ca from teeth.
    Saliva helps to neutralize gastric acid and relieve
    heart burn when gastric juice is regurgitated into
    esophagus

     Sympathetic- via cervical symp. chain.

     Parasympathetic supply from sup & inf

    Regulation of salivary secretion by the
    parasympathetic nervous system

    Parasympatetic stimulation- vasodilatation (VIP)
    profuse watery secretion, Mech- by releasing Ach
    Sympathetic stimulation- vasoconstriction ,
    scanty viscid secretion,
    Mech- by releasing Norepinephrine
    Phases of secretion

     Basal secretion
    continuous secretion in the absence of stimulus
     Reflex secretion –
    Unconditioned- Food in the mouth,
    Stimulus from esophagous, stomach
    Conditioned - sight, smell, thought of food
    Salivary secretion decreases
     Sleep
     Fatigue
     Dehydration
