Exam 1 Flashcards
What are the locations of the merocrine glands
goblet cell, salivary glands, pancreas,
all sweat glands in children; many adultsweat glands
Merocrine secretion
cell damage?
odor?
None
None
What are some examples of the location of the Halocrine glands?
sebaceous glands, tarsal (Meibomian) glands of eyelid
Which type of gland secretes by the disintegration of its cell membrane, and in a sense becomes a secretory vesicle?
Holocrine
what are some examples of an apocrine gland?
lactating mammary glands, some adult sweat glands,ceruminous glands in external auditory canal,
ciliary (Moll’s) glands in eyelid
Apocrine gland…
cell damage?
odor?
little
yes
what is the smallest division of the gland?
Ascinus
What is sometimes attached to the mucus ascinus?
serous demilune, small caniculi attach to the lumen for secretion
What type of cell are epithelial in origin and are contractile?
Especially found where?
function…
Myoepithelial cells
Salivary and Sweat Glands; Lacrimal Glands;
Lactating Mammary Glands
assist in secretion
What do serous glands produce?
What are some examples?
shape and shape of nucleus?
Proteins
Pancreas, parotid gland, chief cells in stomach
trapezoid and round
What do mucus glands produce?
What are some examples?
shape and shape of nucleus?
mucus (glycoproteins)
Goblet cells, mucus cells in stomach, minor salivary glands in tongue and palate
nucleus is peripheral and flat
Example of a mixed gland…
Sublingual and submandibular salivary glands
Where are serous demilunes possible
a. serous
b. mucus
c. mixed
mixed gland
What regulates exocrine secretion? (3 things)
myoepithelial cells - have ANS innervation
hormones
blood supply
What does an increase in blood supply do to exocrine secretion?
an increase in blood supply will mean an increase in exocrine secretion
What are the two main components of connective tissue matrix?
Ground substance and fibers
Fibroblasts are usually derived from what type of cell?
mesenchyme cell
