what predominately controls the regulation of saliva?
|
parasympathetic nervous signals
|
|
where in the brainstem do PNS signals come from?
|
superior/inferior salivatory nuclei
|
|
what excites saliva secretion?
|
1)taste/tactile stimulation in the mouth
2)from CNS- appetite center 3) reflexes from stomach duodenum- irritation/nausea |
|
where is the sympathetic nervous stimulation come from?
|
the superior cervical ganglia
|
|
what is a substance that spilts blood proteins to form bradykinin (dilation)?
|
kallikrien
|
|
what are the two functions of GI tract secretion?
|
digestive enzymes and mucous
|
|
what type of cells are on the surface of epithelium and respond to mechanical stimulation?
|
Single Cell Mucous Glands (Goblet Cells)
|
|
what do Single Cell Mucous glands do?
|
secrete mucous directly on the epithelial surface to act as a lubricant
|
|
what are the deep invaginations of the epithelium into the mucosa?
|
Crypts of Lieberkuhn
|
|
What do the Crypts of Lieberkuhn do?
|
they are specialized secretory cells that secrete fluid
|
|
where are the tubular glands located?
|
in the stomach and the upper duodenum
|
|
what are examples of complex glands that lie outside of the the walls of the GI tract?
|
salivary, pancreatic, hepatic
|
|
what is the function of complex glands?
|
digestion/emulsification of food
|
|
what are the three main things that stimulate glands to release contents?
|
1) tactile stimulation
2) chemical stimulation 3) gut wall distension (direct contact and the ENS) |
|
what nervous system strongly increases secretion by glands?
|
parasympathetic nervous system
|
|
what are the two main parasympathetic nerves involved in secretions?
|
glossopharyngeal and vagus
|
|
what are glands in the distal portion of the large intestine innervated by?
|
pelvic parasympathetic nerves
|
|
what effect does the sympathetic nervous system have on gland secretions?
|
increases secretions, but vasoconstricts...net effect is to slightly increase secretions
|
|
what do hormones do in the stomach and duodenum?
|
increase secretions when food enters the stomach or the duodenum
|
|
how do substances get from the capillary to the base of the grandular cell?
|
diffusion or active transport (Na/K+ pump)
|
|
what happens in the Golgi?
|
secretory materials come in from the ER....they are modified, added to, concentrated and discharged into the cytoplasm in the form of secretory vesicles
|
|
what is the role of calcium in exocytosis?
|
causes the vesicle to fuse with the membrane...the vesicle interior is exposed and the contents are released
|
|
in the secretion of water and electrolytes, which ion is actively transported into the interior? Then what happens?
|
Cl...then Na follows and moves into the cell....water enters and the cell swells...pressure in the cell causes the rupture of the secretory border of the cell
|
|
what are the functions of mucous?
|
1) lubrication and protection
2) adheres to food particles and the epithelium easily 3) coats materials and prevents them from contacting the mucosa 4) low resistance for movement (slippery) 5) buffer- neutralizes stomach acids and other acids |
|
what glands are saliva secreted from?
|
submandibular, sublingual, parotid, and buccal glands
|
|
what is ptyalin?
|
a protein contained in serous protein of saliva for starch digestion?
|
|
what is mucin?
|
a protein in mucus protein of saliva for lubrication and protection
|
|
what type of glands secrete only serous?
|
parotid
|
|
what type of glands secrete only mucus?
|
buccal
|
|
what type of glands secrete both serous and mucus?
|
submandibular and sublingual
|
|
what happens to saliva during maximal secretions?
|
it is very similar to ECF (lots of NaCl) because there is not as much time for modifications
|
|
what two ions does saliva contain a great amount of ?
|
K+ and bicarbonate
|
|
the NaCl content compared to plasma?
|
much lower
|
|
what happens to Na and K concentrations as saliva is processed?
|
Na decreases and K increases
|
|
what does Cl do in response to Na and K movement?
|
is reabsorbed (lessened content in the saliva)
|
|
what does HCO3 do in response to other ions?
|
it is secreted out of the duct (increases in saliva)
|
|
what two ions are reabsorbed back into the duct?
|
Na and Cl
|
|
what does the reabsorption of Na and Cl do to the saliva?
|
makes it more hypotonic and alkaline....helps nutralize the bacteria that generate the acids
|
|
what is the electrical potential that is generated inside the cell?
|
negative because more Na pumped into the gland than K that are pumped into the saliva cells
