Salivation
Saliva
General function

Clinical Implications
Gland infections / Tumours
Xerostomia / Hyposalivation - problems with eating, speaking, swallowing, tasting, thirst and wearing dentures
Salivary Glands
Sialo-rrhea
(Hypersalivation)
Sialo-lithiasis
(calculus/mineral mass) forms in salivary gland
Sialo-sis
(Enlargement of salivary glands)
Mucocele
: Obstruction /
Accumulation of mucin
in salivary gland
Ranula
: Mucoele that occur on floor of mouth
Diagnostics
Swelling of mostly Major Gland
Staphylococcus aureus (most common), Streptococcus pnemoniae and pyogenes and Haemophilus Influenzae may be pathogenic
Fever, Headache, Muscle Aches, Tiredness, Loss of Apetite
Can use to diagnose nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
Salivary Glands
Structure
: Compound, branched ductal --> tubuloacinar, exocrine glands, myoepithelial cells
Classifications
Minor Glands
: Located within submucosa of tissue (buccal, labial, lingual, soft palate, lateral hard palate, floor of mouth) - Mucous
Major Glands
Sublingual
: Mixed, smallest. more mucous (mucin rich), only unencapsulated major salivary gland
Submandibular
: Mixed, more serous, approximately 70% of saliva in oral cavity
Parotid
: Serous, largest secrete a-amylase
Arrangement of Acini
Serous
: Sphereical form
Mucous
: Tubular form with larger central lumen
Mixed
: Acini capped by serous demilune (i.e. half-moon shaped cell covering the acini, secrete mucous which contain lysozyme
Journey of Salivary Gland
Intercalated duct (Cuboidal epithelium, narrow lumen)
Striated duct (columnar epithelium with many mitochondria)
Intralobular duct (cuboidal-tocolumnar epithelium)
Interlobular duct (Pseudostratified columnar epithelium)
Lobar duct (Columnar stratified epithelium)
Acini (Produce saliva with composition similar to plasma (isotonic)
Salivary Flow
Control
: Reflex modulated by salivary centres
Medulla Oblongata
