The of human is primarily dependent on acinar duct cell secretory resorption capacity. In an experiment described chapter, a vacuum-maintained metal collection device was positioned over orifice Stensen's duct. subject given sour-lemon flavored lozenge, one-minute acquaintance interval stimulation permitted to clear apparatus allow gland adjust stimulus. electrolyte upon net flux water electrolytes that are transported across epithelium at any particular rate. decrease calcium might reflect variety physiologic conditions associated with aging. While there little information relative general body metabolism provide insight regarding physiological processes responsible for this change, possibility exists decreasing levels age-related changes protein synthesis.
