glands Flashcards
example of an exo gland
salivary
example of endoo gland
thyroid
example of unicellular exocrine gland
goblet cells
where goblet cells are found?
mucosa of intestine and respiratory tract
secretory activity of a gland is limited to?
terminal portion of the gland secreting portion of the gland
morphological classification of ducts are?
simple gland and compound gland
different shape of secreting portions of the gland
- tubular gland
- acinar or alveolar gland
- tubuloacinar gland
examples of straight simple tubular gland
intestinal gland
e.g of coiled simple tubular gland
sweat glands
e.g of branched simple gland
principal glands of stomach and endometrium glands of uterus
types of acinar glands?
simple acinar gland and branched acinar gland
location of simple acinar gland?
urethral gland of the penile part of the male urethra
location of branched acinar gland the type that an acinar is divided into several compartments
sebaceous gland
location of the type in which several acinars are arranged along a duct
meibomian glands of the eyelids
eg compound tubular glands
brunner gland of duodenum
eg compound acinar glands
exocrine portion of pancreas
eg of compound tubuloacinar gland
submandibular salivary gland
e.g of mucous gland?
pyloric glands of stomach
e.g of serous gland?
parotid gland
mixed gland (seromucous) e.g
sublingual and submandibular gland
classification of the basis of mode of secretion (list them down)
merocrine
apocrine
holocrine
what are merocrine glands?
the secretory product is lost directly without any loss of cytoplasm
e.g of merocrine gland
lacrimal, salivary, intestinal
what are apocrine gland?
some part of the apical cytowhatplasm is lost with the secretory product
e.g of apocrine gland?
sweat glands of axillae and perineal gland
ceruminous gland of external auditory meatus
lactating mammillary glands
what are holocrine gland?
the cell disintegrates and all of the cell contenents are released with the secretory products.
e.g of holocrine?
sebaceous gland of skin
