25
Q

How are glandular epithelia classified?

A
  1. Type of secretion they release
  2. Structure of the gland
  3. Method of secretion
26
Q

What two types may glandular epithelia be?

A
  1. Exocrine
  2. Endocrine
27
Q

What are the three types of exocrine glandular epithelia?

A
  1. Serous glands
  2. Mucous glands
  3. Mixed exocrine glands
28
Q

How do exocrine glands release their secretions onto an epithelial surface?

A

Through epithelial DUCTS

29
Q

How do endocrine glands release their secretions?

A

They are DUCTLESS glands that release their secretions by exocytosis directly into the interstitial fluid surrounding the cell

30
Q

What are the modes of secretion for exocrine glands?

A
  1. Apocrine
  2. Merocrine (Aka eccrine)
  3. Holocrine
31
Q

What are glandular epithelia?

A

Gland cells in the epithelia that produce secretions

32
Q

What do serous glands secrete?

A

A watery solution that usually contains enzymes, such as the salivary amylase in saliva

33
Q

What do mucous glands secrete?

A

Secrete glycoproteins called mucins that absorb water to form a slippery mucus, such as the mucus in saliva

34
Q

What can mixed exocrine glands secrete?

A

Contain more than one type of gland cell and may produce both serous and mucous secretions

35
Q

What are the secretions produced by endocrine glands called?

A

Hormones

36
Q

What is eccrine (aka merocrine) secretion?

A

The secretory product, packaged into secretory vesicles, is released through exocytosis onto the surface of the cell

37
Q

What is apocrine secretion?

A

The secretory product is released during the shedding of the apical portion of the cell’s cytoplasm, which has become packed with secretory vesicles

38
Q

What is holocrine secretion?

A

Destroys the gland cell. During holocrine secretion, the entire cell becomes packed with secretory products and then bursts apart-> secretion is released and the cell dies
