Physiology Of Salivary Glands www.nayyarENT.com
Function of Salivary Glands • Produce saliva – 1L / day (1ml/min/gm) • Contents • Mucin (glycoprotein) • Salivary amylase • Secretory Immunoglobulins • Other enzymes – DNase, RNase, lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, lingual lipase • Kallikerin • Inorganic compounds – Na+, K+, HCO3-, Ca2+ www.nayyarENT.com
Function Of Saliva • Lubrication and protection • Buffering and clearance • Maintenance of tooth integrity • Antibacterial activity • Taste and digestion www.nayyarENT.com
Structure of Salivary Gland • Parotid • Largest, serous (Compound Tubuloacinar Gland) • Submandibular and Sublingual • Mixed (Compound Tubuloacinar Glands) www.nayyarENT.com
Secretory End Pieces (Acini) • Serous Acini • Pyramid shaped, basal nucleus, apical secretory granules • Mucus Acini • Larger, columnar cells, basal nucleus • Mixed Acini • Mucus acini capped by serous cells forming Serous Demilunes www.nayyarENT.com
Duct System Acini Intercalated Ducts Striated Ducts Interlobular Excretory Ducts Stenson’s, Wharton’s duct www.nayyarENT.com
Control of Blood Flow And Metabolism • High rates • Rate of saliva production – 1ml/min/gm • Blood flow 10 times that of equal mass of skeletal muscle www.nayyarENT.com
Secretion Of Saliva • Active transport process under neuronal control • Composition • Hypotonic to plasma • Tonicity more when rates of production are high( at max rate - 70% to that of plasma) • K+,HCO3- higher than in plasma • pH – acidic during resting phase, basic during active phase(↑ HCO3- secretion) www.nayyarENT.com
Secretion Of Water And Electrolytes • Acini – Primary Fluid Secretion • Isotonic to plasma, electrolyte composition fairly constant, exocrine protein • Excretory ducts – extract Na+, Cl- and add K+, HCO3- to saliva • No addition in volume • More of Na+, Cl- removed than addition of K+, HCO3- responsible for hypotonicity www.nayyarENT.com
Mechanisms Of Primary Fluid Secretion • Osmotic process • Transepithelial salt gradients • Four ion transport systems - luminal and basolateral membranes generate the gradient • Three mechanisms proposed – operate concurrently www.nayyarENT.com
Mechanism 1 • Stimulation – rise in cytosolic Ca2+ • Opening of K+, Cl- channels – KCl outflow • Cl-conc in lumen ↑, Na+, H2O follow • Cl- entry sustained via Na+K+2Cl-cotransporter • 6 Cl-translocated to acinar lumen per ATP hydrolysed by Na+/K+ ATPase www.nayyarENT.com
Mechanism 2 • Cl-/HCO3-, Na+/H+ exchanger • KCl outflow • Cl- entry via Cl-/HCO3- exchanger • Acidification buffered by Na+/H+ exchanger • 3 Cl- translocated to lumen per ATP hydrolysed • Na+ & water follow into the lumen www.nayyarENT.com
Mechanism 3 • Involves acinar HCO3- secretion • 3 HCO3- secreted per ATP molecule • H+ extruded via Na+/H- exchanger • Na+, H2O follow into the lumen www.nayyarENT.com
Mechanism Of Macromolecule Secretion • Contained in zymogen granules present in serous acinar cells, ductal cells • Upon stimulation release contents in lumen by exocytosis • Conc and rate varies with level and type of stimulation www.nayyarENT.com
Mechanism Of Ductal Secretion • Inconstant, underlying mechanisms partially understood • Produce final hypotonic solution • Influence of tubular cells more when flow rate is slow www.nayyarENT.com
Neural Control Of Gland Function • Predominant control – PARASYMPATHETIC • Sympathetic stimulation shorter and less strong • Probable synergistic action www.nayyarENT.com
Parasympathetic Stimulation • Primary fluid secretion • Protein secretion • Vasodilatation • Increased metabolism and growth • Myoepithelial cell contraction LARGE VOLUME LOW PROTEIN OUTPUT www.nayyarENT.com
Sympathetic Stimulation • High protein secretion • Vasoconstriction – decreased blood flow • Myoepithelial cell contraction LOW VOLUME HIGH PROTEIN OUTPUT www.nayyarENT.com
Neurotransmitters & Receptors • Parasympathetic • Ach binds to M3 Receptors • Activation of G protein► Phospholipase C ►IP3 & DAG ► Intracellular Ca2+ release, Protein exocytosis www.nayyarENT.com
Contd… • Sympathetic • Noradrenaline binds to α1, β1 receptors • Activation of G protein ► Adenylate Cyclase activation ►↑cAMP dependant Protein Kinase ►protein exocytosis www.nayyarENT.com
