Embryology
 The parotid glands are the first to develop in the 4th week of
embryogenesis, followed by the submandibular glands at 6th
weeks and finally the sublingual glands at 8th weeks.
 Parenchymal tissue (secretory) of the glands arises from the
proliferation of oral epithelium.

Embryology
 The stroma (capsule and septae) of the glands originates from
mesenchyme that may be mesodermal or neural crest in
origin.

Parotid development
 Although the parotid anlagen are the first to develop, they
become encapsulated after the SMG and SLG.
 This delayed encapsulation is critical because after the
encapsulation of the SMG and SLG but bafore encapsulation
of the parotid, the lymphatic system develops.

Parotid development
 Therefore, there are intraglandular lymph nodes and
lymphatic channels entrapped within the parotid gland (PG).
 PG is also unique because its epithelial buds grow, branch and
extend around the divisions of the facial nerve.

Embryology
 The epithelial buds of each gland enlarge, elongate and
branch initially forming solid structures.
 Branching of the glandular mass produces arborization.
 Each branch terminates in one or two solid end bulbs.
6

Embryology
 Elongation of the end bulb follows and lumina appears in
their centers, transforming the end bulbs into terminal
tubules.
 These tubules join the canalizing ducts to the peripheral
acini.

Duct Canalization
 Canalization results from mitotic activity of the outer layers
of the cord outpacing that of the inner cell layers
 Canalization is complete by 6th month post conception.

Acinar cells
 At around the 7-8th month in utero, secretory cells (acini)
begin to develop around the ductal system.

Acinar cells of Salivary Glands
Classified as :

 The lobules are linked by dense fibrous tissue containing
excretory ducts, vessels , lymphatics , nerve fibres and
ganglia to form lobes.

autonomic nervous system; parasympathetic effects
predominate.
If parasympathetic innervation is interrupted, glandular
atrophy occurs.
Normal saliva is 99.5% water
Normal daily production is 0.5L
Salivary flow rates are approximately 0.3ml/min when
unstimulated.
Rising to 1.5-2ml/min when stimulated.

7/29/2012
physiology
 During sleep salivary flow rate is negligible.
 In unstimulated state parotid gland contributes
approximately 20%
 Submandibular gland approximately 65%
 Sublingual and minor salivary glands the remainder.
 When stimulated the parotid contribution rises to 50%
