Term
| What is another one of its functions? |
|
Definition
| Lubricates the oral cavity |
|
|
Term
| What part of the oral cavity consists of serous cells, mucous cells, secretory uni, and myoepithelial cells (Basket cells)? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| Describe the shape of serous cells |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is their nucleus like? |
|
Definition
| Round nucleus, basally located |
|
|
Term
| What is(are) their product(s)? |
|
Definition
| Seromucous product: secrete both protein (salivary amylase) and polysaccharides |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Secretion: higher carbohydrate content |
|
|
Term
| What do myoepithelial cells (basket cells) do? |
|
Definition
| These cells have processes wrapped around the acini and striated ducts. These processes contract and press on the secretory unit to facilitate release of product into the duct |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
1.Intercalated Ducts= simple cuboidal cells
2.Striated Ducts= simple cuboidal to low columnar
3.Inter-lobar ducts = stratified cuboidal to stratified columnar
4.Terminal (principle) duct= stratified cuboidal to stratified columnar ****(same for 3 and 4) |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
They are small and therefore less conspicuous
They are lined with simple cuboidal epithelium |
|
|
Term
| How are striated ducts formed? |
|
Definition
| Several intercalated ducts fuse to form a section of striated ducts |
|
|
Term
| Which ducts are surrounded by connective tissue? |
|
Definition
| Excretory or interlobular ducts are surrounded by connective tissue |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What are the secretory units primarily? |
|
Definition
| Serous (acini) secretory units (lack mucous acini) |
|
|
Term
| How are the units organized? |
|
Definition
| Units organized into lobules which are separated by loose connective tissue septa |
|
|
Term
| What tissue makes up these glands? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
| Principle duct: Stenson's |

|
Definition
| Principle duct of Sublingual Glands= Bartholins duct or Rivinus ducts |
|
|
Term
| Where does its ducts open? |
|
Definition
| Ducts open into floor of mouth and ducts of submandibular gland |
