Exocrine Glands

Question 1

Simple Glands

Answer 1

sweat glands and sebaceous glands

Question 2

Compound glands

Answer 2

salivary glands and exocrine pancreas

Question 3

Holocrine secretion

Answer 3

lysis of cells filled with secretory product

–sebaceous glands of the skin

Question 4

Apocrine secretion

Answer 4

Shedding of apical cell segment filled with secretory product

Mammary glands

Question 5

Merocrine secretion

Answer 5

exocytosis of proteins/glycoproteins

sweat glands/salivary glands/exocrine pancreas

Question 6

Serous cells

Answer 6

Secrete proteins–secretory granules in apical cytoplasm

Question 7

Mucous cells

Answer 7

Secrete mucin–becomes mucus

Question 8

Myoepithelial cells

Answer 8

contraction expels secretory product from gland lumen

sweat/salivary/mammary glands

Question 9

Unicellular glands

Answer 9

Goblet cells–mucin secretion

Question 10

Multicellular simple glands

Answer 10

Sebaceous glands
Eccrine sweat glands
Apocrine swear glands

Question 11

Sebaceous glands

Answer 11

simple branched acinar glands–associated with hair follicles

holocrine secretion

origin of acne

Question 12

Eccrine sweat glands

Answer 12

simple coiled tubular glands
Thermoregulation and excretory–secretion controlled by cholingeric fibers of sum NS

Secretory portion- Pale cells–fluid/Dark cells-proteins/myoepithelial cells-contract to expel product

Conducting portion–re-absorbs NaCl and H2O

Question 13

Apocrine Sweat glands

Answer 13

simple coiled glands located in axillary/areolar/perineal regions

MEROCRINE secretion- associated with hair shafts

Stimulated by adrenergic nerve fibers

Question 14

Multicellular compound glands

Answer 14

Salivary glands and exocrine pancreas

Question 15

Acini- serous cells of salivary gland

Answer 15

Secrete amylase/lysozyme/sIgA/bicarb

Absorb chloride

Question 16

Acini-mucous cells of salivary gland

Answer 16

secrete mucin

Question 17

Acini-myoepithelial cells of salivary gland

Answer 17

prevent secretory portion distention and accelerate secretion

Question 18

Intercalated ducts of salivary gland

Answer 18

connect the secretory portion to the interlobular duct

Question 19

Intralobular ducts of salivary gland

Answer 19

simple columnar epithelium
active transport of saliva
secrete sIgA

Question 20

interlobular ducts of salivary gland

Answer 20

stratified cuboidal-to-columnar epithelium

Large ducts located in septa

Question 21

sIgA of salivary gland

Answer 21

plasma cells secrete dimeric IgA

serous cells and intralobular duct cells produce IgA receptor–mediates transcytosis or IgA into gland lumen

Question 22

Submandibular gland

Answer 22

Compound tubuloacinar gland

serous and mucous acini

Question 23

Parotid gland

Answer 23

compound acinar gland

serous acini–a-amylase

Question 24

sublingual gland

Answer 24

compound tubuloacinar gland

mucous acini

Question 25

Exocrine pancreas

Answer 25

Compound acinar gland–LACK myoepithelial cells

secretory product– lipase’s/nucleases/amylases
Serous acini-zymogenic granules in apical half of cell
intercalated ducts- produce bicarb- Secretin stimulates Bicarb release
intralobular ducts- secrete bicarb rich fluid
interlobular ducts-secrete bicarb
