2 OBJECTIVES This chapter should help you to: v Compare mucous and serous secretory cells in terms of their structure, staining properties, and secretory products. v Compare the 3 major salivary gland types in terms of content and distribution of serous and mucous cells. v Describe the division, structure and function of the pancreas. v Describe the boundaries and contents of the classic liver lobule, the portal space, and the hepatic acinus and understand the liver functions. v Relate the complex ultrastructure of the hepatocyte to its many functions.

8 A. The main functions of salivary glands to secrete saliva - to wet and lubricate the oral mucosa and the ingested food - to initiate the digestion of carbohydrates and lipids - to secrete germicidal substances (such as IgA, lysozyme) and lactoferrin - The saliva also has a very important buffering function and forms a protective pellicle on the teeth by means of calcium- binding proline-rich salivary proteins summary
