    This document discusses the three major salivary glands: the parotid gland, the submandibular gland, and the sublingual salivary gland. It describes the components and secretory cells of each gland, including serous and mucous acini, intercalated ducts, striated ducts, and excretory ducts. It also briefly discusses dry mouth, or xerostomia, which is a decreased function of the salivary glands that can cause oral dryness, difficulty swallowing and eating, increased risk of dental caries, and susceptibility to infections.

    The serous secretory cells

    Serous acini

    C.T.septae

    The intercalated duct

    The striated duct

    The excretory duct

    Goblet Cells

    2-The submandibular gland

    1-Mucous acini
    2-Serous acini

    3-Striated duct
    4-C.T. septa

    MUCOUS ACINI

    Serous demilunes

    ICD

    SD

    ED

    Mucous acinus

    Serous acinus Intercalated duct Striated duct

    3-The sublingual salivary gland

    Intercalated duct

    Serous demilune

    Mucous cells

    Excretory duct

    Clinical considerations:
    Dry mouth (xerostomia):
    The dental term "xerostomia" means dryness of the mouth due to a decreased function of the salivary glands.

    Effects of xerostomia:
    1-Dryness of the oral tissues, thus become more susceptible to infections. 2-Difficulty and pain in swallowing, eating and speech. 3-Increased incidence of dental caries especially cervically.

    GOOD LUCK
