lab 11 exocrine Flashcards
synthesized products of glands:
Saliva, mucus, enzymes and hormones
example of while cells produced by glands
spermatozoa
example of disintegrated cells produced by glands
sebum
Multicellular glands that retain communication with an epithelial surface by an excretory duct are designated ___
exocrine glands
Glands which have lost communication with an epithelial surface and which secrete directly into the surrounding interstitial tissue are called
endocrine (ductless) glands
Some glands have both exocrine and endocrine capabilities, example ___
pancreas and liver
the secretory unit can be three shapes
tubular
acinar/alveolar
or tubule-acinar
if there is more then one duct a gland is ___
compound
explain ducts of branched, simple glands
three ways to secrete
merocrine (eccrine)
Apocrine
holocrine
Here secretory vesicles (small, membrane bound spherical sacs containing secretory product) attach directly to the plasma membrane and discharge their contents to the exterior.
merocrine(eccrine)
the secretory product, a small amount of surrounding cytoplasm and a bit of plasma membrane, is pinched off from the surface of the secretory cell.
apocrine
the entire secretory cell becomes the product.
holocrine
example of holocrine
Sebaceous glands
The testes and ovary produce and release cells and, therefore, may also be designated holocrine glands.
types of material produced by glands
serous
mucous
mixed
produce a thin, watery secretion
serous glands
Morphologically, they are wedge-shaped and possess a round nucleus. They may be the exclusive cell type found in a tubular, alveolar, or tubule-alveolar secretory unit.
serous cells
frequently are pear-shaped, but may be wedge-shaped sometimes. Their cytoplasm appears “frothy” and their nucleus often lies flat against the basal end of the cell. They, too, may be organized into tubular, acinar, or tubule-acinar secretory units.
mucous cells
a unicellular gland
goblet cell
goblet cell
The vesicles are filled with mucigen, a glycoprotein which forms mucin upon taking up water.
???
he mucus produced upon release of the mucigen is a clear viscous substance consisting of mucin, various salts, epithelial cells and leukocytes.
In the digestive tract, mucous produced by goblet cells serves as a ___-; whereas in the respiratory tract it serves to trap dust particles.
lubricant
simple, coiled tubular glands
sweat glands
merocrine sweat glands are found ___
found also in the foot pad of the cat and dog and the carpus of pigs
almost everywhere on human
___ sweat glands also occur in the pubic, perianal, and axillary regions, and in addition to producing sweat in these regions, they also produce an ___ which is amplified by bacteria that use the sweat as a nutrient source.
apocrine
odor
apocrine sweat glands are also known as ___.
scent glands
apocrine sweat glands are actually ___
eccrine
compound, tubule-acinar glands which lie outside of the mouth cavity.
salivary glands
___ surround the secretory units of salivary glands and help move product.
Myoepithelial cells
parotid gland show numerous lobules separated by connective tissue septa.
The interlobular ducts have a ___ columnar or cuboidal epithelium
bistratified
