Saliva is composed primarily of water but also contains proteins, electrolytes, mucus and the enzyme amylase. It is produced in the major salivary glands - the parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands - and contains components that lubricate and protect the mouth as well as aid in digestion by beginning the breakdown of starches. Saliva maintains homeostasis in the mouth and prevents tooth demineralization through its bicarbonate content and proteins that inhibit calcium phosphate precipitation.

I hope my presentation is a simple method to learn about it. I would like to thank my professors for assign me this project and i learn't a lot from it and still learning my basics daily.
The lymphatic system has three functions:
Fluid recovery.
Immunity
Lipid absorption
The lymphatic vessels of the small intestine receive the special designation of lacteals or chyliferous vessels.
The components of the lymphatic system are :-
lymph, the recovered fluid;
Lymphatic vessels, which transport the lymph;
Lymphatic tissue, composed of aggregates of lymphocytes and macrophages that populate many organs of the body; and
Lymphatic organs, in which these cells are especially concentrated and which are set off from surrounding organs by connective tissue capsules.

Analysis of saliva done for the diagnosis of systemic disease
Definition:
by Stedmann’s & Lipincott medical dictionary.
A clear, tasteless, odourless, slightly acidic (pH 6.8) viscous fluid, consisting of the secretion from the parotid, sublingual, submandibular salivary glands and the mucous glands of the oral cavity.
General properties
Volume: 1000 to 1500 mL of saliva is secreted per day and, it is approximately about 1 ml/ minute.
Contribution by each major salivary gland is:
i. Parotid glands: 25%
ii. Submandibular glands: 70%
iii. Sublingual glands: 5%.
Reaction: Mixed saliva from all the glands is slightly acidic with pH of 6.35 to 6.85.
Specific gravity: It ranges between 1.002 and 1.012.
Tonicity: Saliva is hypotonSalivary flow
The average person produces approximately 0.5 L – 1.5 L per day
Unstimulated Flow (resting salivary flow―no external stimulus)
Typically 0.2 mL – 0.3 mL per minute
Stimulated Flow (response to a stimulus, usually taste, chewing, or medication [eg, at mealtime])
Typically 1.5 mL – 2 mL per minute
Most animals have three major pairs of salivary glands that differ in the type of secretion they produce: parotid glands produce a serous, watery secretion. submaxillary (mandibular) glands produce a mixed serous and mucous secretion; sublingual glands secrete a predominantly mucous saliva.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
1. Saliva is produced in human body in quantity of 1000 to 1500 ml per day. pH of saliva is 6.35 – 6.85. It is composed
of 99.5% water and 0.5% of solutes.
0.5% solutes in saliva are divided further as described below:
Organic substances Ions:
Sodium Calcium
o Urea Potassium Magnasium
o Uric acid Chloride Hydrogen
o Mucin Bicarbonates Iodine
o Globulin Phosphates Iron
o Serum Albumin
o Lysozyme PROTEOME:
o Salivary amylase 106 D glycoprotiens to 1000 D
peptides
DNA RNA
What it is made up of?
Saliva is made up of water, mucus, proteins, mineral salts and amylase. As we said earlier,
the saliva in the mouth is constantly at work. What does it do, working like a workaholic? As
it happens, saliva is nature’s own cleaning system for your mouth. We do take efforts to
keep our mouths clean, but we cannot do it all the time and saliva is nature’s way of
ensuring it remains so for us. It constantly circulates in the mouth and picks up any debris
left while eating, bacterial cells formed due to food particles have been left in the mouth and
the white blood cells that are automatically released by the body to fight bacteria.
Major salivary glands:
1) Parotid Gland
2) Sublingual Gland
3) Submandibular Gland
The percentage of contribution by the
glands during unstimulated SF is as follows:
• 20% by the parotid glands
• 65%-70% submandibular glands
• 7% to 8% sublingual glands
• <10% by the minor salivary glands
When SF is stimulated, there is an alteration in
the percentage of contribution of each gland with
the parotids contributing over 50% of the total
salivary secretion.
2. SECRETORY UNIT(SALIVON):
The basic unit “salivon” consists of:
Acinus -initial secretory process
Intercalated duct -initial portion of duct
Striated duct -modification of secretory product
Myoepithelial cells
surround acinus and intercalated duct
contraction moves saliva, prevents development
of back pressure
Composition:
There are 4 major components
1) Mucus – serves as a lubricant
2) Amylase – initiates the digestion of starch
3) Lingual Lipase – begins digestion of fat
4) Electrolyte Solution (Na+, Cl-,K+,HCO3-) – moistens food
5) Proteins & Enzymes – Statherins,Proline-Rich Proteins
(PRPs),Histatins,Cystatins,Lysozyme,Salivary Peroxidase
Enzymes:
-amylase, parotid glands
• cleaves -1 ,4-glycosidic bonds
• pH optimum of 7
inactivated @ pH 4 but continues to work for sometime in unmixed food in orad portion of
stomach
Kallikrein (protease, acinar cells)
• Catalyzes production of bradykinin from -globulin
• Increase local blood flow
Water (0.5 L saliva/day)
MUCIN:
It is responsible for lubrication, protection against dehydration, and maintenance of salivary visco-elasticity. They
also selectively modulate the adhesion of microorganisms to the oral tissue surfaces,which contributes to the
control of bacterial and fungal colonization. In addition, they protect these tissues against proteolytic attacks by
microorganisms. Mastication, speech, and deglutition are aided by the lubricant effects of these proteins.
o Lack precise folded structure of globular proteins
o symmetrical molecules with open, randomly organized structure
o Polypeptide backbone (apomucin) with CHO side-chains
3. o Side-chains may end in negatively charged groups, such as sialic acid and bound sulfate
o Hydrophillic, entraining water (resists dehydration)
o Unique rheological properties (e.g. high elasticity, adhesiveness, and low solubility)
o Two major mucins (MG1 and MG2)
AMYLASE:
o Calcium metalloenzyme
o Hydrolyzes a(1-4) bonds of starches such as amylose and amylopectin
o Several salivary isoenzymes
o Maltose is the major end-product (20% is glucose)
o “Appears” to have digestive function
o Present in tears, serum, bronchial, and male and female urogenital secretions
o A role in modulating bacterial adherence
STATHERINS:
o Calcium phosphate salts of dental enamel are soluble under typical conditions of pH and ionic
strength
o Supersaturation of calcium phosphates maintain enamel integrity
o Statherins prevent precipitation or crystallization of supersaturated calcium phosphate in ductal
saliva and oral fluid
o Produced by acinar cells in salivary glands
o Also an effective lubricant
PROLINE RICH PROTIENS:
o Like statherin, PRPs are also highly asymmetrical
o Inhibitors of calcium phosphate crystal growth
o Inhibition due to first 30 residues of negatively-charged amino-terminal end
o Present in the initially formed enamel pellicle and in “mature” pellicles
o Pellicle is formed by selective adsorption of hydroxyapatite-reactive salivary proteins, serum proteins
and microbial products such as glucans and glucosyl-transferase
o Pellicle acts as a diffusion barrier, slowing both attacks by bacterial acids and loss of dissolved calcium
and phosphate ions
LINGUAL LIPASE:
o Secreted by von Ebner’s glands of tongue
o Involved in first phase of fat digestion
o Hydrolyzes medium- to long-chain triglycerides
o Important in digestion of milk fat in new-born
o Unlike other mammalian lipases, it is highly hydrophobic and readily enters fat globules
HISTATINS:
o A group of small histidine-rich proteins
o Potent inhibitors of Candida albicans growth
4. ELECTROLYTE SOLUTION:
o 2–21 mmol/L sodium (lower than blood plasma)
o 10–36 mmol/L potassium (higher than plasma)
o 1.2–2.8 mmol/L calcium (similar to plasma)
o 0.08–0.5 mmol/L magnesium
o 5–40 mmol/L chloride (lower than plasma)
o 25 mmol/L bicarbonate (higher than plasma)
o 1.4–39 mmol/L phosphate
o Iodine (mmol/L usually higher than plasma, but dependent variable according to dietary iodine
intake)
o pH changes from being slightly acidic (pH 6-7 ,at rest) to basic (pH 8) at ultimate stimulation ↑ ↑
HCO3- in the saliva
CYSTATINS:
o Are inhibitors of cysteine-proteases
o protective against unwanted proteolysis (bacterial proteases, lysed leukocytes)
o inhibit proteases in periodontal tissues
o effect on calcium phosphate precipitation
SALIVERY PROXIDASE SYSTEM:
o Sialoperoxidase (SP)
Readily adsorbed to various surfaces of mouth
• enamel, salivary sediment, bacteria, dental plaque
o Myeloperoxidase (MP)
From leukocytes entering via gingival crevice
15-20% of total peroxidase in whole saliva
LYSOZYME:
o Present in numerous organs and most body fluids
o Oral LZ is derived from at least four sources
major and minor salivary glands, phagocytic cells and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)
o Biological function
o Anti-microbial activity by:
Inhibition of bacterial adhesion to tooth surfaces
Inhibition of glucose uptake and acid production
Muramidase activity (lysis of peptidoglycan layer
