Salivary gland

30 to 40% get swollen parotid salivary glands, with most of the rest being asymptomatic or having only respiratory problems. Around 60% of patients have asymptomatic meningitis, with up to 15% progressing to…

1. A salivary gland is stimulated by its parasympathetic nerve. a) Describe the organization of the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a part of the peripheral nervous system that largely acts involuntarily. It consists of nerves in cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, exocrine and endocrine glands. The main visceral activities are temperature regulation, digestion, blood pressure and genitourinary function. The second main division of the…

system is a group of organs that convert food into energy to feed the entire body. The alimentary is made up of the pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. Organs of the digestive system include the teeth, tongue, salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. In the digestive system it all begins with the mouth. Inside the mouth are many organs that help the food to be chopped up and swallowed . Teeth chop food into small pieces, which are moistened by saliva…

Objectives: To detect and compare salivary glucose with plasma glucose level and PPBS(Postprandial ) and FBS (Fasting blood sugar) in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Material and Method: A total of 100 patients were participated in the study. They were divided into 2 groups, each group consist of 50 patients. Unstimulated saliva and blood were collected and investigated for glucose levels. Results and conclusion: FBS, PPBS, Plasma glucose levels and salivary glucose levels were higher…

when it receives the food and contains salivary amylase; this begins the digestion of carbohydrates as well as lubricating the mouth and helping the formation of the bolus. The taste buds on the tongue provide unusual sensations of tasting the food and the oral cavity also plays a vital part in speech and other body processes. Movement inside the oral cavity begins when the food begins to be chewed up by the teeth, this then starts to form the bolus. Next, swallowing begins. Swallowing starts…

Anatomy Consist of lips, tongue, teeth and salivary glands. Snout and Lips Folds of fleshy tissue located around the pig’s mouth. Skin and mucous membrane cover the pigs upper and lower lips. They contain a layer of connective tissue and labial glands (salivary glands). Their immobile and have and flattened upper lip. Incisors - Chiselled shaped teeth are located in the front and mid-section of the mouth. Canines – sharp pointed teeth located both sides of the mouth (top and bottom).…

composed of teeth, tongue and salivary glands. There are various types of teeth in order to mechanically digest food different types of food. These include incisors, flat with sharp edges, canines, sharp and pointed, and molars, cusps on teeth. The salivary glands produce saliva and the enzymes in the saliva contribute to the breaking down of food through chemical digestion. Similarly, the sharks mouth is composed of teeth and tongue, but sharks do not have salivary glands. Since sharks’ swallow…

pharynx, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. The accessory digestive organs include; The tongue, teeth, salivary glands, liver, gall bladder, and the pancreas 2. Which organs of the digestive system come in contact with food, and what are some of their digestive functions? Mouth is used for ingestion of food. Saliva produced by salivary glands, helps in the early digestion of carbohydrate and fat by enzymes amylase and lipase. Pharynx helps in muscular propulsion of…

MOUTH: In the mouth this fetal pig has teeth in place, which I was surprised to see. The pig is an omnivore. Identification of the tongue was obvious. This is attached by a membrane. There are three main salivary glands. The parotid gland which is the largest of the salivary glands. The parotid gland lies ventral to the pinna or external ear. It is somewhat triangularly…

lamina propria and a thin layer of smooth muscle layer of smooth muscle called the muscularis mucosa. The mucosa contains a collection of lymphoid nodules called mucosal associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) , mucus - secreting goblet cells, and other glands that secrete products such as hydro hydrochloric acid and enzymes. The mucosa is generally covered with a layer of mucus that helps protect the underlying epithelium from the effects of the acid and digestive…
