| salivary duct calculi | Small calculi found in the terminal salivary ducts may be referred to as salivary sand. Larger calculi (stones) are found in the larger ducts, such as stensen's duct and wharton's duct. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| salivary ducts | The ducts that convey the saliva. They are the parotid duct, the major and minor sublingual ducts, and the submandibular duct. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salivary fistula | A pathologic communication between a salivary duct or gland and the cutaneous surface or the oral mucus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| salivary gland | Any of the saliva-secreting exocrine glands of the oral cavity. Synonym: glandula salivaria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| salivary gland biopsy | <investigation, procedure, surgery> A procedure which involves the removal of a small specimen of salivary gland tissue for microscopic analysis. Used in the diagnosis of Sjogren's syndrome. Risks include localised bleeding, infection and injury to the facial nerve. (21 Mar 1998) |
| salivary gland calculi | Calculi occurring in a salivary gland. most salivary gland calculi occur in the submandibular gland, but can also occur in the parotid gland and in the sublingual and minor salivary glands. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salivary gland disease | Disorder of salivary glands; i.e., Sjogren's syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| salivary gland fistula | An abnormal passage between a salivary duct or gland and the cutaneous surface, or into the oral cavity through other than a normal pathway. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salivary gland hormone | <chemical> Chemical name: Parotin (12 Dec 1998) |
| salivary gland virus | A highly species-specific herpesvirus (cytomegalovirus) with particular affinity for the salivary gland tissue. Synonym: salivary gland virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| salivary proteins | Proteins found in saliva and the salivary glands. These proteins show some enzymatic activity, but their composition varies in different individuals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| salivary virus | A highly species-specific herpesvirus (cytomegalovirus) with particular affinity for the salivary gland tissue. Synonym: salivary gland virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior salivary nucleus | A group of preganglionic parasympathetic motor neurons situated rostral and lateral to the inferior salivatory nucleus; it governs secretion of the lacrimal, sublingual, and submaxillary glands by way of the facial nerve and the sphenopalatine and submandibular ganglia. Synonym: nucleus salivatorius superior, superior salivary nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inferior salivary nucleus | A group of preganglionic parasympathetic motor neurons located in the reticular formation of the medulla oblongata dorsal to the nucleus ambiguus; its axons leave the brain with the glossopharyngeal nerve and govern secretion from the parotid gland by the intermediary of the ganglion oticum; cells of the inferior and superior nucleus are scattered and overlapping in lateral regions of the reticular formation. Synonym: nucleus salivatorius inferior, inferior salivary nucleus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external salivary gland | <anatomy> A salivary gland situated in front of and below the ear. (27 Sep 1997) |
