Epithelial Glands Flashcards
Glandular Epithelia consist of what to make secretion
one or more cells
Glands are classified on what
Where they release their secretion and number of cells
What glands are based on where they release their secretion
Endocrine gland and Exocrine gland
What glands are based on the number of cells
Unicellular exocrine vs multicellular exocrine glands
Endocrine glands are also known as what ?
Ductless gland
Why is endocrine known as ductless gland?
Because it loses its duct during development
What is the function of endocrine
produce hormones that regulate body functions
What does exocrine gland do
secrete mucous, sweat, oil, saliva, bile, digestive enzymes
Where is the role of exocrine gland
Secrete their products onto body surfaces ( skin ) or into body cavities
Unicellular gland is also known as what
Goblet cells or mucous cell
Unicellular function
Protects and lubricates surfaces
Multicellular exocrine glands have two basic parts called
epithelium-derived duct and secretory unit
Multicellular exocrine glands can be classified on what
structure and mode of secretion
Function of multicellular exocrine glands
support connective tissue surrounds secretory unit and supplies it with blood vessels and nerve fibres
Gland Structural Classifications are based on two what
simple glands and compound glands
