  25. Physiology Of Salivary Glands www.nayyarENT.com

  26. 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

  27. Function Of Saliva • Lubrication and protection • Buffering and clearance • Maintenance of tooth integrity • Antibacterial activity • Taste and digestion www.nayyarENT.com

  28. Structure of Salivary Gland • Parotid • Largest, serous (Compound Tubuloacinar Gland) • Submandibular and Sublingual • Mixed (Compound Tubuloacinar Glands) www.nayyarENT.com

  29. 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

  30. Duct System Acini Intercalated Ducts Striated Ducts Interlobular Excretory Ducts Stenson’s, Wharton’s duct www.nayyarENT.com

  31. 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

  32. 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

  33. 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

  34. 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

  35. 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

  36. 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

  37. 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

  38. 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

  39. 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

  40. Neural Control Of Gland Function • Predominant control – PARASYMPATHETIC • Sympathetic stimulation shorter and less strong • Probable synergistic action www.nayyarENT.com

  41. Parasympathetic Stimulation • Primary fluid secretion • Protein secretion • Vasodilatation • Increased metabolism and growth • Myoepithelial cell contraction LARGE VOLUME LOW PROTEIN OUTPUT www.nayyarENT.com

  42. Sympathetic Stimulation • High protein secretion • Vasoconstriction – decreased blood flow • Myoepithelial cell contraction LOW VOLUME HIGH PROTEIN OUTPUT www.nayyarENT.com

  43. Neurotransmitters & Receptors • Parasympathetic • Ach binds to M3 Receptors • Activation of G protein► Phospholipase C ►IP3 & DAG ► Intracellular Ca2+ release, Protein exocytosis www.nayyarENT.com

  44. Contd… • Sympathetic • Noradrenaline binds to α1, β1 receptors • Activation of G protein ► Adenylate Cyclase activation ►↑cAMP dependant Protein Kinase ►protein exocytosis www.nayyarENT.com

  45. Factors Affecting Salivary Flow • Unstimulated – Submandibular • Stimulated – Parotid 2/3rd • Acidic tastes – Max stimulation • Sweet tastes – Least stimulation www.nayyarENT.com

  46. Contd… • Psychic factors • Circadian rhythm • Diurnal variation • Age • Drugs • Tricyclic antidepressants • Phenothiazines • Depression and anxiety states • Dehydration, hemorrhage, www.nayyarENT.com

  47. Contd… • Salivary Gland diseases • Radiation sialadenitis • Autoimmune sialadenitis • HIV infection • Iron overload • Sarcoidosis • Amyloidosis • Cystic fibrosis www.nayyarENT.com

  48. Factors Affecting Composition Of Saliva • Flow rate • Source of secretion • Type of stimulus • Diurnal variation • Diet • Drugs – flow dependant components • Hormones – mineralocorticoids, ovulation www.nayyarENT.com

  49. Contd… • Disease states • Sialadenitis • Radiation damage • Sjorgen’s syndrome • Cystic fibrosis • HTN • DM • Alcoholic cirrhosis • Aldosteronism • Chronic pancreatitis www.nayyarENT.com

  50. Salivary Assays In Diagnosis • Valid medium, painless, non-invasive • Hormone monitoring • Unconjugated steroids • Proportional to free unbound plasma levels • Useful in field studies • Estradiol, progesterone, testosterone www.nayyarENT.com
