1)Definition of saliva:
its complex fluid (99%water , Ca , Po4 , F & protein , glycoprotein and
enzymes) , produced by salivary glands , has important role in maintaining the well condition of the mouth.
2)Functions of saliva:
1- protection
2- buffering action.
3- maintenance tooth integrity.
4- digestion.

Functions of saliva
1) Glycoprotein
& mucins.
2) water.
3) Protein , Ca.
1) Lubrication & act as barrier to microbial products.2) washing action: by removal of bacteria , its
toxins and debris from themouth & decrease the action
of acido-genenic bacteria byclearance the sugar.
3) Salivary pellicle: its thin coat on the tooth
surface formed by binding between Ca , protein .
1-protection
Po4 , bicarbonate
Maintain the natural PH of the oral cavity.
.2-bufferingaction
Calcium Ca,phosphate PO4
& flouride F
1) post-eruptive maturation of enamel.2) Repair , remineralization .3) Protection by washing action.
3- Tooth integrity
1- lyso-somes.2-lactoferin.3- IGA4- mucins5- water
1- hydrolysis of the cell wall of some bacteria.2- Binding of some elements which is essential for bacteria.3- immune defense mechanism.4- act as physical microbial barrier5- mechanical effect by washing action.
.5- defense
-(bacteriostatic)
1) protein gustin..2) water
.1) maturation of taste buds.2) washing taste bud from debris
6- taste.
Growth factors1) Epithelial regeneration 2) Wound healing
7- tissue repair.
1) water. 2) amylase3) maltose , lipase
.4) po4 , bicarbonate
1) bolus formation . 2) digest the starch into glucose.3) digest triglyceride into mono , di- glycride4) netralize esophageal contents
4- digestion.
Salivary glands: are compound , tubulo-acinar ,
merocrine , exocrine glands whose
ducts open in oral cavity that
produce , secrte saliva.

3) Classifications of salivary glands according to their:-
1- location. (oral vestibule & oral cavity proper)
2- size. (major & minor )
3- nature of secretion. (pure serous & pure mucous & mixed)
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
1- According to their location.1) glands of oral vestibule
a- labilal G b- buccal G. c- parotid G.
2) glands of oral cavity proper:1- G of the floor of the mouth.
a. sub-mandibular glands.
b. major , minor sub-lingual glands
c. glosso-palatine glands.
2- G of tongue.a. anterior lingual glands (blandin nuhn)b. posterior lingual glands (vonebner , weber glands)
3- G of the palatea. postero-lateral of hard palate glands.b. soft palate glands.c. uvula glands.
2- according to size
1) major < 3 pairs >a. parotid glands: oppen at buccal vstibule opposite to upper molars
b. sub-lingual glands: open on each side of lingual frenum.
c. sub-mandibular glands: open at posterior part of floor of mouth
2) minor: its separated small mucosal glands in different areas in the mouth.
N.B: major salivary glands
don’t act during sleep
while minor glands act 24 h .
3- according to nature of secretion
1) pure seous glandsa. von-ebner salivary glands (post. lingual)
b. Adult human parotid glands
2) pure mucous glands
a. weber glands (post. lingual)
b. anterior portion of ant. Lingual gland (blandin nuhn).
c. minor sub-lingual glands.
d. glosso-palatine glands.
e. palatine glands.
N.B: no major gland secrete pure mucous
3) Mixed glands:
A) mixed predominantly serous.1- parotid of new born.
2- sub-mandibular glands 80%
B) mixed predominently mucous.1- major sub-lingual glands.
2- post. Portion of ante. Lingual glamds(blandin nuhn).
3- buccal glands.
4- labial glands.

4) Histological structure of salivary glands:-
1) frame work of C.T elements < stroma >:
(cells , fibers , G.S , B.V , nerves)
2) parenchymal elements:
1- secretory cells (acini) : a. serous b.mucous.
2- Non-secretory cells : a. myo-epith b. oncocyte.
3- duct system
a. secretory duct (intercallated . striated)
b. Excretory duct.
c. main duct.
1) Frame work of connective tissue elements:-
Its capsule which surround , protect the gland .
Its septa extend to subdivide the glands into major lobes & lobes further subdivided into lobules.
C.T contains cells , fibers , G.S
C.T support the B.V , lymphatic
& nerves that supply the gland
2) Parenchymal elements they are composed of:-
1- secretory cells. (serous , mucous cells)
2- Non-secretory cells (myoepith. Cells , oncocyte)
3- duct system (secretory , excretory . Main ducts)
(secretory cells & Non-secretoty cells & duct system)
ـــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ
1) secretory cells (acini): cluster of cells varies in
shape , size that resemble a many-lobe berry ,
its either (serous or mucous or mixed)

Cell synthesis
*By H,E its pale , vaculated.*Cells appear empty except numerous mucigen granules & thin film of cytoplasm forms trabecular network.
By H,E its deeply stained basophilic.1- apical cytoplasm: contain zymogensecretory granules.2- basal cytoplasm: basal striation due to numerous arranged parallel RER.

Very few inter-cellular canaliculi
Junctional complex , desmosomes.Intercellularcanaliculi ends in form of:
Granules expelled with their membrane intact then it will lostoutside
Granule unit with membrane of cells . Then ruptures , its contnts secreted to outside cells

2) Non-secretory cells:(myoepithelial. Cells & oncocyte)
1) myoepith. Cells (basket cells) :
*its spindle shape cells has 4:8 process .
*related to secretory cells , inter-callated duct .
*attached to underlying cells by desmosomes .
* contains many microfilaments which collect to form darkb odies.
* cells organelles are peri-tubular.
Myo-ePithelialcells.
Function : its has contractilefunction which is:-
decrease luminal volume
thus
increase the secretory
pressure
thus
accelerate the initial flow of saliva.
2) oncocyte: its spherical large cells found mostly in ducts ,
represent an age changes .
histologically: a. cells: spherical , large.
b. nucleus: peknotic (shrinkage nucleus) ,
centrally placed in the cell.
c. cytoplasm: strong esinophilic.
loaded by mitochondria
site: in ducts.
age: old age
