Saliva functions
Lubrication and moistening of food for swallowing

Solubilization of materials for taste

Initiation of carbohydrate digestion (Amylase)

Neutralization of refluxed gastric secretions in the esophagus

Cleansing of the mouth and selective antibacterial action
Serous cells secrete
aqueous fluid: water, ions, enzymes
Ductal cells
striaited cells: modify saliva
Myoepithelial cells
stimulated by neural input, contract and eject saliva
Most of the saliva comes from
Submaxillary gland which is mixed and innervated by facial nerve
Ducts modify saliva by transporting ions in or out of saliva
K in
HCO3 in
Na out
Cl out
Duct cells are impermeable to water, so even if Cl is absorbed from saliva, water wont pass the duct cells because they're impermeable
Initial saliva is
isotonic plasma like
Final saliva
Hypotonic and rich in HCO3 and K
Saliva contents
Alpha amylase
lingual lipase
mucin glycoproteins, IgA
Highest saliva flow rate ends up producing final saliva much like initial saliva..why/
Not enough time for ductules to modify saliva
Low saliva flow rates leads to final saliva being hypotonic compared to plasma..why?
enough time for ductules to modify saliva
[HCO3-] secretion is selectively stimulated along with
Saliva production
tTransporters on basal membrane of Acinar cells
Na/K Atpase pump
K channel (to interstital space)
Na/H exchanger
Na/K/2Cl transporter (inside of cell)
transporters on apical membrane of acinar cell
K channel ( to lumen)
HCO3/Cl transport (to lumen)
Ductal cells rate of absorption vs secretion
absorption is greater
Lumen of the ducts cells vs basal membrane duct cell components
Lumen has more components to modify saliva
Na is absorbed from saliva by ductal cells via
Na/H exchanger
Enac channel
Cl is absorbed from saliva by ductal cells via
HCO3/Cl exhanger...Cl goes out of saliva, HCO3 goes in
K gets secreted into saliva by ductal cells via
K/H exchanger
The major path tthat stimulates saliva secretion
Dehydration, fear, sleep stimulate parasymp, via CN VII and IX, Ach is released and binds to Muscarinic receptors on acinar or ductal cells. IP3 and Ca levels go up and saliva is produced
Sympathetic stimulation to acinar cell or ductal cell
through NE, it binds to Breceptor and this increases cAMP production leading to saliva producton
Sjorgen Syndrome
Antibodies that react with salivary and lacrimal glands leading to lost of Cl/HCO3 expression in ductal cells
Secondary disease of Sjrogen Syndrome
salivary dysfunction is a manifestation of an autoimmune disease, Rheumatoid arthritis
Pancreas Exocrine function
Secretes pancreatic juice which breaks down all categories of food
Bicarbonate rich- pH close to 8.0 that neutralizes the acidic gastric contents entering the small intestine
Acini (clusters of secretory cells) contain zymogen granules with digestive enzymes
Pancreas Endocrine function
releae of insulin and glucagon
Pancreatic secretions are riched in
HCO3 so main modification while going through duct is enrichement with HCO3
In the intralobular ductal system of the pancreas..whats secreted?
Na
K
HCO3
Cl
In the extralobular ductal system..whats secreted? what's absorbed
HCO3 is secreted
Cl is absorbed
Fast flow rate in pancreas secretions leads to
pancreatic juice with low Cl and high HCO3
Slow flow rate in pancreas secretion leads to
high in Cl and less HCO3
Steps of acinar electrolyte secretion
1)The Na-K pump creates the inwardly directed Na gradient across the basolateral membrane
2)The Na/K/Cl cotransporter produces the net Cl uptake, driven by the Na gradient which is generated by the Na-Pump
3)The rise in intracellular K that results from the activity of the pump and cotransporter is shunted by basolateral K channels that provide an exit pathway for K
4)The intracellular accumulation of Cl establishes the electrochemical gradient that drives Cl secretion into the acinar lumen through the apical membrane Cl channels
5) The movement of Cl into the lumen makes the transepithelial voltage more lumen-negative driving Na into the lumen via the tight junction
HCO3 secretion by acinar cells
-Bicarbonate enters the cell Na/HCO3 cotransporter in basal membrane
-CO2 and H20 (later broken down into OH) diffuse across the basal membrane and are synthesized into HCO3 by Carbonic anhydrase
-Cl gets out of cell in the apical membrane via CTFR and outward rectifying Cl channel
-Cl that got out is brought back by the Cl/HCO3 exchanger and HCO3 is secreted. W/O Cl channel HCO3 secretion would be hindered
Secretin action on pancreatic ductal and acinar cells
Stimulates electrolytes secretion in both ductal and acinar cells.
Enzyme secretion inhibition feedback through trypsin, CCK and monitor peptide
High protein concentration, induces secretion of CCK releasing peptides, which activates I cells to secrete CCK which reach pancreas and stimulate enzymes for digestion from acinar cells (trypsin) Monitor peptide from pancreas. When theres a lot of protein from food, lots of CCK releasing peptide and monitor cells keep stimulating pancreas ro release digestive enzymes. Once proteins from food have been digested, monitor peptides and CCK releasing peptides are digested by trypsin, so pancreas stops releasing digestive enzymes
Ca2+ occilation and digestive enzymes
Release of Ca2+ by CCK increases the frequency of occilation of Ca2+ (going up and down concentrations intracellularly) amount of Ca2+ stays the same. occilation of Ca2+ does stimulate the release of digestive enzymes in vivo
Cephalic phase of pancreatic secretion is regulated by
vagal stimulus
Gastric phase of pancreatic secretion is regulated by
Vagal cholinergic
Intestinal phase of pancreatic secretion is regulated by
CCK
Secretin
Enteropancreatic reflexes
Cystic fibrosis affects
lungs, intestine, biliary system and pancreas

Caused by mutations in the CFTR gene
Loss of CFTR function impairs
the ability to hydrate and alkalinize the luminal content
Sign and symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis
Thick, viscous mucus secretion in the lung
Thick sputum
Respiratory infections
Increase in NaCl of sweat
Intestinal obstruction
Duodenal mucosal injury
Damage to the liver and biliary system
