Q

What do mucus glands secrete?

A

Secrete mucinogens, large glycosylated proteins (PAS positive), that when hydrated form a thick (viscous), protective fluid called mucin. Mucin is a component of mucus.

24
Q

What are the two major shapes that glands can have? What is the next subdivision?

A

Acinus
Tubular

Simple/complex

25
Q

What are the two divisions of duct systems?

A

Simple

Compound

26
Q

What are simple duct systems?

A

single, unbranched duct conveys secretory product to epithelial surface

27
Q

What are complex ducts?

A

Branching ducts exist which converge to form a single duct

28
Q

What are intralobular ducts?

A

Ducts that are found within the lobule of exocrine glands

29
Q

Goblet cells are what type of glands?

A

Unicellular glands

30
Q

What are the four different types of lobular ducts?

A

Acinus
Intercalated ducts
Striated ducts
Intralobular ducts

31
Q

What are the two intralobular ducsts?

A

Intercalated ducts

Striated ducts

32
Q

What are intercalated ducts?

A

Ducts that run between lobules, and have simple cuboidal cells

33
Q

What is responsible for the striations in the striated ducts?

A

Mitochondria aranged in a palisade

34
Q

Where are interlobular ducts found?

A

Between lobes

35
Q

What are myoepithelial cells?

A

Contractiel cells derived from the epithelium that contain actin and myosin

36
Q

Where are myoepithelial cells found?

A

Surround the secretory units of many of multicellular glands

37
Q

What is the function of myoepithelial cells?

A

Contraction of myoepithelial cells expresses the secretion from the gland

38
Q

What are the two types of compound glands discussed in class?

A

Parotid and submandibular

39
Q

What are the three major identifying factors for striated ducts?

A
  1. Acidophilic
  2. Striations
  3. nuclei push toward opening
40
Q

What is the parotid gland’s classification? What does it secrete?

A

Compound acinar that is purely serous

41
Q

What are submandibular glands’ classification? What do they secrete?

A

Compound tubuloacinar with mixed scretions (primarily serous)

42
Q

What is the sublingual gland’s classification? What does it secrete?

A 
Compound tubuloacinar
Primarily mucus (but also serous)
43
Q

What are serous demilunes?

A

Artifacts where a cap of serous cells penetrate between the mucus cells? This is due to prep.

44
Q

What is Sjögren syndrome?

A

Autoimmune disease that causes dry eyes and mouth, and parotid gland swelling

Salivary and lacrimal glands are infiltrated with T cells; glands become fibrotic

45
Q

What are the serological markers for Sjögren syndrome?

A

Serologic marker antibodies are directed against two ribonucleoproteins: SS-A (Ro) and SS-B (La)

46
Q

What type of gland is the pancreas? What is histologicall unique to it?

A

Compound acinar

No striated ducts

47
Q

What is the way to differentiate the pancreas and the parotid?

A

NO striated ducts in the pancreas

centroacinar cells

48
Q

What is the classification of goblet cells?

A
