Gland
|
Structure that produces a chemical secretion necessary for normal body functioning
|
|
|
Exocrine Gland
|
Gland that has a duct associated with it
|
|
|
Duct
|
Passageway that allows secretion to be emptied directly into location where secretion is to be
|
|
|
Endocrine Gland
|
Ductless gland/ secretion poured directly into vascular system
|
|
|
What are the 5 Glandular tissues in head & neck area
|
Lacrimal gland
Salivary gland Thyroid gland Parathyroid gland Thymus gland |
|
|
Lacrimal gland
|
Paired exocrine gland/ secretes lacrimal fluid (tears)
(If patient has dry eyes is can also mean that they have a dry mouth) |
|
|
Salivary gland
|
Produces saliva
Functions: moistens mouth, makes speech possible, moistens food to aid in chewing&swallowing, aids in digestions& taste |
|
|
Major salivary glands are ?
|
large paired glands associated with ducts
|
|
|
What are the 4 major salivary glands
|
Parotid gland
Submandibular gland Sublingual gland Minor Salivary gland (they all secrete saliva) |
|
|
Parotid gland
|
Largest encapsulated gland
Parotid duct or Stenson's duct associated with gland |
|
|
Parotid papilla
|
Small elevation of tissue that marks opening to parotid duct on inner surface of check
(opposite the 2nd max molar) |
|
|
Parotid gland lession
|
the parotid gland becomes large & tender (Mumps)
|
|
|
Submandibular gland
|
Also known as the Wharton's duct
Travels floor of mouth & opens into sublingual caruncle (small papilla near midline at floor of mouth on each side of lingual frenum) |
|
|
Submandibular gland lession
Ranula |
Salivary stone
( the duct becomes clogged and the saliva has no place to go so the saliva becomes very hard which is a calcufied area called (Sialoith) |
|
|
Sublingual gland
|
Only one that is unencapsulated
Also know as Sublingual duct or Bartholin's Provides 10% of salivary secretions Locations: in sublingual fossa at floor of mouth anterior to submandibular gland |
|
|
Sublingual duct or Bartholin's
|
Formed by short ducts of gland that combine & opens into oral cavity through sublingual carnuncle
|
|
|
Sublingual Carnuncle
|
Small papillae near midline of floor of mouth on each side of lingual frenum
|
|
|
Minor salivary gland
|
Also known as von Ebner's glands
Location: Labial & lingual mucosa |
|
|
von Ebner's gland
|
Minor glands associated with large circumvallate lingual papillae on posterior region of dorsal surface of tongue
|
|
|
Minor salivary gland lession
Mucocele |
severance of duct from trauma thus blocking saliva flow
(bite mark which causes swelling) |
|
|
Thryoid gland
|
Largest endocrine ( means it does not have a duct) gland
|
|
|
Thryoid gland lession
Goiter |
Enlarged gland (its a hard mass like a tumor)
|
|
|
Parathryoid gland
|
Regulates calcium & phosphorous levels
|
|
|
Thymus gland
|
By age 40 the gland has almost disappeared,
Stops growing at puberty, Endocrine gland/part of the immune system-fights disease, T- cells lymphocyctes mature in gland in response to stimulation of Thymus hormone |
