Exocrine glands Flashcards
Exocrine glands
duct
Name 3 exocrine glands
Parotid glands
submandibular gland
sublingual glands
What is the biggest exocrine organ
Liver
Where are the parotid glands found
Bilateral by the side of the mouth and in front of the ears
What percentage of all saliva reproduction does the parotid gland account for
40%
What does the parotid glands secrete
serous
What’s cells secrete the substance in parotid glands
Acini cells
Function of the parotid gland
Secrete serous that contains enzymes e.g. amylase
digest food and lubricates for swallowing
Describe the histology parotid gland
Striated ducts
simple columnar epithelium
Submandibular glands secrete
serous and mucous
Slavery can secretion is affected by neuronal stimulus is explain how is affected
Parasympathetic: produces a large volume of watery saliva rich in enzymes
sympathetic: produces a small thick secretion of saliva re-rich in mucus
The liver exocrine secretion
Constitutive: secretes bile
The liver endocrine secretion
Constitutive: albumin
regulated: IGF- 1
Hepatic blood supply- what is a portal system
Two capillary systems between hearts arterial supply and the hearts of venal supply
Where are the two areas the hepatic portal system capillaries branch
Stomach and intestine- nutrients and toxins absorbed
liver- nutrient and toxins leave
Where does the deoxygenated blood from the liver come from
Other organs such as stomach which is a portal system, so will first capillary branch at the stomach, then travel via the portal vein to the liver where they will secondary branch
At the end of the hepatic triad blood collects into the central canal, where does the blood go then
Central canal to hepatic vein to vena cava
Hepatic triad come together at the end of hepatic lobules also known as
acini
Name the three components of the hepatic triad
Bile duct
portal vein
hepatic artery
Describe the basement membrane in the sinusoid
Incomplete basement membrane, intracellular gaps
Describe the structure of the liver lobule
Liver lobule hexagonal shape - six sides
central vein
hepatocyte do not form straight lines
Describe the directions which the sinusoids and the bile duct moves fluids
Sinusoids needs fluid towards the central canal
Bartok meets fluids away from central canal
Where are kupffer cells found
Sinusoids lumen
What is the space of disse
Space between sinusoid and hepatocyte
