Physiology Pt. 2
Saliva
Functions
Lubrication & Protection
Water, mucins, glycoproteins craete a barrier that prevents drying, irritants
Lubricates for speech and swallowing, and aids in the clearance of bacteria
-
-
Antimicrobial Activity
IgA = ab agents, nuetralizes viruses, reduces adherence/incraeses aggregation
-
-
-
Exocrine Glands
-
Acinus contain up to 100 acinar cells, innervated by SNS and P/SNS
-
-
-
Glands
Parotid
-
Serous acinii = watery, amylase
-
-
-
Control
Afferent signals CN VII&IX (taste) and CN V (somatic) in the oral cavity are integrated in the nucleus tractus solitaris and the trigeminal nucleus and then inputs in the superior and inferior salivatory nucleus as efferents (SNS via T2/L5 SCG stimulation)
-
Salivation
Hormal Effects
-
Aldosterone = incraeses Na+ reabsorption, H2O reabsorb (saliva volume reduced)
Dental Plaque
Saliva coats the tooth and forms a pellicle (glycoproteins) which acts a substrate for bacterial colonisation
An equilibrium between enamel, plaue and saliva
Dental calculus = An alkaline environement favours Ca++, which seeds calcification and growth of calculus
Dysfunctions
Sialorrhea
-
Musurinic drugs (pilocarpine), Denture insertions, Oral irritations
Xerostomia
-
-
Risks = high caries risk, candisasis, angular chelitis, dysphagia, halitosis
Associated with = systemic conditions (Srojerns, RA, SLE) or medications (Anticholinergics, TCAs, AntiHTNs)
Masticatory Muscles
-
-
Muscle fiber Types
Type I (slow)
Staining at: pH 10 (light), ph 4.3 (dark)
S = Long twitch contraction, low force, low fatiguability
No. myosin ATPase = low, crossectional area = small
Type IIa (fast)
Staining at: pH 10 (dark), ph 4.3 (light)
FF = short twitch contraction, high force, high fatiguability
No. myosin ATPase = high, crossectional area = large
-
Closing Muscles
-
Masseter, Temporalis and Med. Pterygoid
Opening Mucles
-
Diagastrics = mixed composition of type I, IIa, IIx (this may be better for unloaded fast contractions seen in speech)
-
Muscle Adaptations
Changes dpending on demands (freq, duration, intensity of activation
Muscle Size
-
Resistance training results in = Increased no. of fast and slow types, myofilaments, fibril no.s strength
Atrophy = detraining/immobilization, reduce of muslce size/types
-
Muscle Fiber Types
Myosin Heavy Chain (MyHC) = I, IIa, IIx (similar to the muscle fiber types)
-
-
Ageing
Loss of motor nuerons = reduce in fiber numbers and activity promotes the transition from slow to fast (fatiguable) fibers
Edentulisim
Similar to disuse atrophy = seen jaw closer muscles, from S and FR to more FF (fatiguable) fibers
ANS & ENS
-
Organisation
Afferent (Somatic, Special and Visceral)
-
Efferents
-
Autonomic
-
P/SNS
Long-pre, short-post
From nuclei (eg. Edinger-Westphal) travels w/ occulomotor to synapse at ciliary ganglion, joins the short ciliary (CN V1) to act on the dilator puipllae muscles
-
-
-
Syympathetic Actions
-
-
Examples
-
Salivary Glands
SNS = small vol, thick saliva
P/SNS = large vol, watery saliva
Adrenal Medulla
Only SNS ouput = Catecholamines (NA, Adr)
Smooth Muscle
Multi-unit
-
-
Ie. large bv, airways, ciliary muscles, piloerector m.
-
S. Muscles - no sarcomeres, t tubles, or troponin/tropomyosin = actin, and myosin interaction occurs with Ca++ influx, and the filaments slide and contract (via myosin kinase)
-
-
Mastication & Swallowing
Heirachry of Movement
Reflexes (without conscious control), and some modifcations can occur
Highest - planning = motor plans (cerebella, basal ganglia)
-
Lowest - Execution = intergrates sensory afferent and descending pathway input to produce activation of motor units
Homunculus
Large portion of the motor homunculus that makes up the face, mouth, tongue
Corticobulbular pathway
Begins in the somatosensory cortex abd ends in the brainstem to control motor nuerons in the brain stem (MPM)
This then stimulates the ie trigeminal nucleus to create a motor programme and and efferebt signal out to the face
For CN V - corticobulbular is bilateral, therefore well preserved after unilateral stroke
Mastication
-
-
-
modified by input from sensory receptors in oral mucosa, periodontal ligaments, masticatory muscles & TMJ
food bolus is perceived to be appropriate size and consistency the swallowing center is activated, to coordinate swallowing with chewing
Masticatory Relfexes
-
-
Protective/unloading reflex = rapid unloading results in jaw closing muscles to stop (ie biting it through a hard nut, and prevents teeth crashing together)
Periodontal Reflexes
Di-synaptic (withdrawl reflex) = inhibits jaw closing muscles, prevnts damage to teeth
Swallowing
-
Oral Phase
-
Bolus is formed by toubgue, and raised up to hard palate
Soft palate is raised by tendor veli palatini (CNV3) and levator palati (CN IX) and seals off the nasopharynx
-
-
Pharyngeal Phase
-
Iniated by receptors in the pahrynx and layrnx - and is intergrated by the medullarly swallowing centre
-
-
Glottis opens, and breathing resumes
Oesophageal Phase
-
Peristaltic contractions and timed opening of sphincters (aided by pressure chnages in the diaphragm)
-
Gag Reflex
Elicted by the mechanical stimulation of the faucal pillars, base of tongue and soft palate - mediated by CN IX, X and S.N.S
-
Can be supressed by distraction, hypnosis, sedation and LA
Vomitting
-
Preceded by prodromal signs (pallor, sweating, salivation)
Caused by gastric distention, drugs, and gag reflexes
Clinical considerations = Dehydration, alkalosis, hypokalemia, and EROSION of TEETH (seen in bulimia nervosa, binge eating, and GORD)
