Complex fluids produced by a number of specific glands are released into the oral cavity, some are cereous and some are mucous and there is a combination of the 2, the major glands have ducts that connect to express into the oral cavity.

The oral fluids in question are

• Amino Acid

• Enzymes

• Glucose

• Saliva

• Lysozyme

Complex fluids produced by a number of specific glands are released into the oral cavity, some are cereous and some are mucous and there is a combination of the 2, the major glands have ducts that connect to express into the oral cavity.

The major glands that produce oral fluid are

• Parotid Gland

• Sublingual gland

• Submandibular Gland

• Duct of Stensen

• All correct

The duct that runs inward and opens in the oral cavity at the papilla opposite the maxillary 2nd molar is...

• Stensen's duct

• Wharton's duct

• Rivinus duct

• Submandibular Glandula

• All correct

The smallest major glandula is...

• Wharton's duct

• Stensen's duct

• Parotid Glandula

• Submandibular Glandula

• Sublingual Glandula

Saliva is one of the oral immune and defense systems, including the immune system, except:

• Non-specific

• Innate Immune

• Natural Immune

• Initial defense

• Adaptive Immune

Reduced salivary volume where the viscosity becomes thicker and stickier, the PH of the mouth will decrease and Immunoglobulin A secretion will decrease is called xerostomia.

The etiology of this is...

• Atrophy of the salivary glands

• Stress

• Radiation to the neck and head

• Exercise

• All correct

Reduced salivary volume where the viscosity becomes thicker and stickier, the PH of the mouth will decrease and Immunoglobulin A secretion will decrease is called xerostomia.

This will result in...

• Difficulty speaking

• Halitosis

• Burning taste

• Impaired taste

• All correct

The parotid gland produces a more watery saliva that is rich in :

• Amylase enzyme

• Proteins

• Proline rich protein

• Glycoproteins

• All correct

The submandibular gland produces glycosylated saliva, known as:

• Mucin

• Proteins

• Zinc

• Amylase

• Lipase

The glands that produce thick saliva rich in mucin are:

• Parotid Gland

• Submandibular Gland

• Sublingual Gland

• Palatine Glands

• Labial Glands
