A

Dissolves in water to form mucus

111
Q

what does the mucous in unicellular exocrine cells do

A

Slimy protective, lubricating coating, internal lubricant

112
Q

what are multicellular exocrine glands composed of

A

duct and secretory unit

113
Q

what are multicellular exocrine glands surrounded by

A

supportive connective tissue

114
Q

what do the supportive tissues do for multicellular exocrine glands

A

Supplies blood and nerve fibers

Extends into and divides gland into lobes increase surface area

115
Q

how are multicellular glands classified

A

by structure and type of secretion

116
Q

what are the structure classifications of multicellular glands

A

simple, compound, tublear, alveolar, tubolalveolal

117
Q

what are simple glands

A

unbranched ducts

118
Q

what are compound glands

A

branched ducts

119
Q

what is tubuloalveolar

A

mixture of tubular and alveolar

120
Q

what are the types of secretion

A

merocine
holocrine
apocrine

121
Q

merocrine

A

most – secrete products by exocytosis as produced, makes product and squirts it out (merely secretes the chemcial), pancreas, sweat glands, salivary glands

122
Q

holocrine

A

accumulate products within then rupture (secretes HOLE (whole) cells)
cells secrete by being broken down and going out

123
Q

apocrine

A

accumulates products within but only apex ruptures – controversy if exist in humans secrete a part of the cell

124
Q

what does highly vascularized mean

A

lots of blood vessels, bc it needs all the oxygen and energy, biologically we move to get food

125
Q

characteristics of muscular tissues

highly vascularized

responsible for most types of movement

126
