ALL SALIVARY GLANDS ARE INNERVATED BY PARASYMPATHETIC NERVE FIBERS SYMPATHETIC INNERVATION IS VARIABLE - NOT ALL GLANDS ARE INNERVATED AND THE RELATIVE VOLUMES OF SALIVA PRODUCED BY SYMPATHETIC STIMULATION AND THE TYPES OF ADRENORECEPTORS ON THE BASOLATERAL MEMBRANE ARE VARIABLE
NEUROTRANSMITTERS INVOLVED IN SALIVARY SECRETION NOREPINEPHRINE binds to either a or b adrenergic receptors ACETYLCHOLINE binds to muscarinic cholinergic receptors VASOACTIVE INTESTINAL PEPTIDE binds to vasoactive intestinal receptors SUBSTANCE P binds to substance P receptors
These neurotransmitters bind to receptors on the basolateral membrane of the acinar cells. The receptors belong to a large family of membrane receptors that transduce their signals via a guanine neucleotide regulatory protein (G-protein). Activation of the G-protein results in the formation of cyclic AMP and eventually protein exocytosis. Alternatively activation of the G-protein leads to the formation of IP3, which leads to Ca2+ mobilization and, subsequently, fluid secretion.

Neurotrophic Factorsare endogenous, soluble proteins regulating survival, growth, morphological plastisity, or synthesis of proteins for different functions in neurons
Proteins initially characterized as neurotrophic factors: Neurotrophins (NGF, BDNF, NT-3, NT-4, NT-6) GDNF-family GDNF, NrTN, PSP, ART CNTF etc. Proteins not initially characterized as neurotrophic factors: FGF-family aFGF, bFGF IGF EGF TGF and Interleukin 1, 3, 6 etc.
Classical The Neurotrophic Theory • Neurons are produced in excess during development • They send out neurites and compete over neurotrophic factors in “target” areas, • Those that reach target survive
Predictions of the neurotrophic hypothesis Target ablation / null mutation Increased target / overexpression
