Lecture 12 glands Flashcards
two type of glands
exocrine
enodcrine
exocrine gland
release of secretory product via a system of ducts that open into the outside world
endocrine gland
release their secretory products( typically hormones) into the space between the glands and the surface, extracellular space, then enters the blood stream
development of glands
epithelium cells proliferate and grow down or deep
- *exocrine -**cells remain contact with outside epithelial cells
- *endocrine-** connection is lost
exocrine glands can be classified by
overal structure
type of secretion
mode of secretion
overall structure
multicellular
most cells
unicellular
goblet cells
what is the only example of unicellular glands
goblet glands
goblet glands
found in epithelium of mucous membranes
- gut, stomach and trachea
- secrete the glycoprotein mucin, which by the uptake of water is converted to a slimy substance, mucous
mucin is produced by ___ and when added with water forms ___
mucin
mucous
what is this
goblet cell
multicellular glands
intraepithelial glands
extraepithelial glands
intraepithelial glands
cluster of a few secretory cells within the surface epithelium
stomach secretory epithelial sheath
extraepithelial glands
multicellular glands that extends into underlying connective tissue
- secretory portion embedded in the connective tissue underlying the epithelium
- product is secreted onto the surface or through ducts
extraepithelial glands can be ___ or ___ structures
simple
compound
refers to the branching of the excretory ducts
secretory portion of glands have three morphology:
tubular
acinar (alveolar)
tubuloacinar
example of tubular extraepithelial glands
colon- intestinal glands
a gland can have a combo of shapes of their secretory cells. ___ is an example
pancreas
has tubular glands that produce Na+HCO3- (alkaline bicarbonate-neutralizes the acidic stomach content released into the duodenum)
has acinar glands (acini) that produce precursors of digestive enzymes
when a gland is branched __ part of the cell has multiple parts
the secretory
if a gland is simple then ___
there is one duct leading out can have branched or not branched secretory cells
if a gland is compound then ___
there are multiple ducts
simple tubular
intestinal glands
simple branched tubular
stomach gastric glands
compound tubular
duodenal glands of small intestine
simple alveolar
simple branched alveolar
sebaceous (oil) gland)
compound alveolar
mammary glands
compound tubuloalveolar
salivary glands
Type of secretion
serous gland
mucous gland
mixed/seromucous glands
serous glands
parotid gland
low viscosity, watery
- nucleus round pushed to outside of cells
- secretory vesicles are visible in the apical cytoplasm
- glands containing serous acini
