Definition
| - serous-secreting, mucous-secreting and myoepithelial cells |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - produce all protein components of saliva |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
- secrete mucins which mix with fluids in oral cavity to produce mucus
- contributes to viscosity of saliva |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| - contractile cells that surround secretory cells with extensions of cytoplasm and squeeze secretions into ducts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| intercalated vs. striated ducts |
|
Definition
- closest to secretory cell, first passageway for saliva, found in major and minor salivary glands
- transports secretions to larger ducts, modifies saliva |
|
|
Term
| striated duct's role in saliva modification |
|
Definition
- na/cl reabsorbed
- k/hco3 secreted into saliva |
|
|
Term
| composition of saliva influenced by |
