Shotgun Histology Sublingual Gland

[twandy4]

the comment wasnt about the gianuzzi halfmoons. in which your descriotion of yourse is right. it was about so called: mucous acini.... as they were mentioned in the video. however some histology books show different wording for them. ie: MUCOUS TUBULI, since, their sturucture does not resemble acinar shape. .

tten123: Your teacher is right. In sublingual salivary gland are no intercalated ducts. Intercalated ducts have been mostly transformed to mucous tubuli.

[twandy4]

CAREFUL! there are no MUCOUS ACINI, only MUCOUS TUBULI !!

that s the term for it! Sturcture is a little different! pay attention also to semilunar demilunes (mixed TUBULOACINUS) are mucous tubuli, but joint by serous secreting cells (gianuzzi / von ebner halfmoon) they produce lysozyme for the control of bacterial flora in the oral cavity).

adding up:

-mucous producing cells form : Mucous tubuli

-serous secreting cells : Serous acini

-mixed type : semilunar demilunes (tubuloacinar)

thanks

@twandy4

You're completely wrong :

GIANUZZI HALFMOONs are actually mucinosus acini covered by a group of serosus cells

So don't mislead peolpe before opening a book.

Thank you so much:)

@twandy4 I completely disagree:acini can be mucous,serous,or mixed (with serous demilunes surrounding the mucous acini)

Tubuli are intercalated,striated and so on but never mucous or serous.

Their main function is to regulate the content of the saliva (e.g making it hypotonic or adding IgA)

Thank you so much! I really like histology but some things were still unclear until I watched your videos! This is helping me so much for my final! Once again, thank you!

[darcysgurl]

thank u so much .. i love it !

[oisilener1982]

thanks for the videos

This guy makes some mistakes. Careful.

[djlavisse]

i've noticed that too..

[tten123]

My histology teacher told me, that there aren't any intercalated ducts at all in the sublingual glands.... or maybe i just heard wrong

still nice worke

greetings from rumania

[darcysgurl]

you can say they are not well developed

[hopemats]

I thought the sublingual gland had none (or close to none) striated ducts as it is almost entirely mucous. Wikipedia claims that striated ducts are found in submandibular gland and parotid gland. Is this just a simplified view of the fact that there are so very few of them in the sublingual gland, or is there a deeper truth to this?

[haakonss]

Yes, the sublingual gland has very few striated and intercalated ducts because the high viscosity of the mucous secretion would not flow smoothly in the STRIATED ducts. (beacuse it would get "stuck" in the striation of the cytoplasm.

Hi,,

It seems that my Subligual gland is not not functioning properly,, and so there is always a swelling in my jaw. The Oral Doctor has reccomended to remove the gland

Will removal of this gland lead to dry mouth and Bad Breath... I already suffer from lil bit of bad breath.. WIll this worsen my case??? Pls reply
