Lab 10: Digestive system III Flashcards
how to distinguish structure of glands
tubular vs acinar
simple vs compound/branched
how to determine function of glands
endocrine vs exocrine vs paracrine
name types of secretion methods of glands
holocrine vs merocrine vs apocrine
describe product secreted out of gland
serous vs seromucous vs serous demilunes
describe tubular
gland and duct are continuous as tubular structures
describe acinar
alveolar
many grape looking structures secrete into a network of ducts
describe simple
sweat gland
describe compound
salivary gland
describe endocrine
no duct
product secreted directly into surrounding CT and diffuses to blood
describe exocrine
product is delivered to surface/lumen by means of a duct
describe paracrine
product is delivered to adjacent cells
describe holocrine
secretion product is entire cell
sebaceous gland
describe merocrine
membrane bound secretory granules are released from cell
salivary gland
describe apocrine
secretory products are released together with portions of secreting cell
describe serous secretion
watery and rich in glycoproteins
describe mucous
rich in carbohydrates
name glands which are serous
parotid
salivary gland
describe serous glands gen
small lumen
cells are tall and pyramidal
nuclei basally located and are spherical
base of cells are basophilic = rich in RER
apex is eosinophilic (zymogen granules)
watery and rich in glycoproteins
can be a serous or mucous mixture
describe serous gland - lobe specific
glands divided into lobes and subdivided into lobules
lobes divided by dense irregular ct
lobules divided by some ct (less than lobes)
very little ct around each acinus
describe mucous glands
larger lumen
pyramidal shaped cells
nuclei basally located and flattened in appearance
apex filled with poorly fixed mucinogen droplets
secretion rich in carbs
