Chap 1 Part 3

Question 1

What are the two subcategories of epithelial glands?

Answer 1

exocrine and endocrine

Question 2

Method of secretion by which the product is released into a duct or directly onto an epithelial surface

Answer 2

exocrine secretion

Question 3

What is an example of parenchyma where components are directly involved with the primary function?

Answer 3

biceps- skeletal muscle cells

Question 4

What is an example of stroma where components provide mechanical/metabolic support?

Answer 4

biceps - tendon, CT, blood vessels, nerves

Question 5

What are the 3 methods of secretion for exocrine secretion?

Answer 5

merocrine, holocrine, and apocrine

Question 6

What is the most common method of secretion for exocrine secretion?

Answer 6

merocrine (M for most)

Question 7

Which method of secretion, associated with odor, secretes entire cells with intact molecules?

Answer 7

holocrine

Question 8

Which method of secretion is associated with pubic and axillary sweat glands, associated with odor, and secretes some cytoplasm and membranes?

Answer 8

apocrine

Question 9

What products mentioned in class are secreted by exocrine secretion?

Answer 9

acinus (smallest division of a gland), serous demilune (small group of cells attached to a mucus acinus), and myoepithelial cells (contractile cells)

Question 10

What glands are associated with exocrine secretion?

Answer 10

serous, mucus, and mixed glands

Question 11

What 3 things regulate exocrine secretion?

Answer 11

myoepithelial cells, hormones, and blood supply (O2 supply increases secretion)

Question 12

Which type of secretion involves secretory products being released into nearby CT for vascular dispersal to target cells/organs?

Answer 12

endocrine secretion

Question 13

What are the 2 subtypes of endocrine secretion?

Answer 13

paracritic secretion and autocrine secretion

Question 14

Which type of secretion involves secretory products commonly referred to as hormones?

Answer 14

endocrine secretion

Question 15

How is endocrine secretion regulated?

Answer 15

hormonal (+ and - feedback loops) and the ANS

Question 16

Which subtype of endocrine secretion is associated with the signaling cell being close to the target cell so the hormone does not enter the blood?

Answer 16

Paracrine secretion

Question 17

Which subtype of endocrine secretion involves the signaling cell being its own target?

Answer 17

autocrine secretion
