Salivary gland

mastication and thus lessen plaque accumulation 2. Amides/low sugar diet: have proven to show low levels of caries 3. Cheese: is characterized by being cariostatic due to its alkalinity 4. Whole-grain food: need more mastication which stimulates salivary flow 5. Calcium: inhibits caries formation 6. Black tea extracts: increases flurorine concentration in plaque and lessens the cariogenic properties of sugar diets 7. Peanuts, sugar-free chewing gum: act as mechanical stimulators of the secretion…

mucus becomes unmanageable leading to complications with the lungs, pancreas, liver, salivary glands, and testes. The copious accumulations of the person’s secretion than clogs the airway of the lungs and glandular tissues…

In Carly’s Voice, you can find quite a few examples of the authors discussing different medications that have worked, some that worked but caused horrible side effects, or some that didn’t work at all. For example, on pages 138-140 it discusses the countless amount of doctors and medications that Carly took and visited for her violent “fits.” In the midst of the family’s frustrations, doctors prescribed Carly medications that were doing more harm than good. Dr. Stein, a physician who would look…

explain the normal physiology of our body. To have a healthy pain-free body, the internal milieu of the body should have an alkaline pH that is more than 7.4. Our body is naturally designed with many organs or surfaces generating alkali - like the salivary glands which are 4 to 5 in number and the long tract (7m) of intestines. However, there is only one organ which generates acid. That is the stomach. Acid in normal quantities in the body helps decimate debris and throw it out of the body.…

One’s body is made of 70% of water that in which is the main component of the cells within one’s bodies. Within these cells, there are particles that move inside and outside through a semi-permeable membrane. This process is called diffusion. In diffusion, particles move in motion at a random speed from a high concentration to an area of low concentration until all of the molecules are dispersed evenly. It is important to remember that involvement with diffusion depends on the concentration. The…

heartworms can grow up to 12 inches in length shaped like spaghetti strands, and can live 5-7 years. They reproduce and release immature heartworms, known as microfilariae directly into the dog’s blood. Microfilariae lives about 2 weeks in mosquito salivary gland before coming infective. Microfilariae can develop into infective larvae within the mosquito in 10 to 28 days. They are picked up when mosquitoes bite an infected dog. This heartworm disease can be treated by giving the dog…

as the ‘fight or flight’ response). It does this by regulating the release of hormones, the effects of which include control of heart rate, breathing, digestion, and blood pressure, among other things. The hypothalamus also controls the pituitary gland, which releases hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. The hypothalamus receives input from many different sources, so that it can control all of the things effectively. The hypothalamus receives input regarding hunger and blood…

exostoses of the jaws and hard palate (provided that this procedure is not done in preparation for dentures or other prostheses); treatment of fractures of facial bone; external incision and drainage of cellulitis; incision of accessory sinuses, salivary glands or ducts; reduction of dislocation, or excision of, the temporomandibular joints. Additionally, the Blue Choice Preferred Bronze PPO 106 Benefit Book outlines the Dental accident care benefit on page 70 (attached): Dental accident…

For this assignment, the virus that I chose to research further was the rabies virus, from the genus Lyssavirus. The rabies virus is a single-stranded RNA virus with a cylindrical structure that is covered by a layer of matrix protein. Its lipoprotein envelope is scattered with rabies glycoprotein-carrying trimeric spikes. This glycoprotein envelope can also influence the rabies virus virulence. The article I read also covered the pathology of the rabies virus, prevention strategies, vaccines,…

that affects many organs and impairs the lung function. A blocked chloride transport in the cell membranes creates mucous that has little water content and becomes thick. The thick, sticky mucous causes problems in the lung, pancreas, liver, salivary glands, and testes. It is an autosomal recessive trait and the cystic fibrosis gene can be located in chromosome seven. A symptom of cystic fibrosis is very salty-tasting skin and the reason is, is when a person who has cystic fibrosis has very…
