Lecture #27: Integument System II Flashcards
Where are the only two locations that sebaceous glands are not found?
Found everywhere except palms and soles.
What doe sebaceous glands continuously produce?
Sebum, which is released into hair follicles.
What stimulates the growth of sebaceous glands?
Growth is stimulated at puberty by sex hormones.
What type of gland are sebaceous glands?
Mode of Secretion - >holocrine glands
Branched acinar glands with short ducts
What is the function of basal cells in the lining of sebaceous glands?
Basal cells regenerate sebum-producing cells lost during the holocrine secretory process.
What type of glands are sweat (sudoriferous) glands?
Both merocrine and apocrine glands.
In merocrine glands, what kind of epithelium is the coiled, simple tubular secretory portion lined with?
Simple Epithelium
In merocrine glands, what do apical dark secretory cells of the coiled, simple tubular secretory portion secrete?
Glycoproteins
In merocrine glands, what do basal clear cells of the coiled, simple tubular secretory portion secrete?
Water and Electrolytes
Besides simple epithelium, apical dark secretory cells, and basal clear cells of the coiled, simple tubular secretory portion of merocrine glands, what other epithelium cells are found here?
Myoepithelial Cells
True or False:
The duct system of merocrine glands consist of stratified cuboidal epithelium except in epidermis.
True
Do merocrine glands have cholinergic endings?
Yes
Apocrine glands of sweat (sudoriferous) glands are found in which regions of the body?
Found in labia majora, areola, and axillary and anal regions.
Between apocrine and merocrine, which secretes a product more thicker and viscous?
Secretions from apocrine glands are thicker and more viscous than merocrine glands.
Does apocrine glands have adrenergic or cholinergic innervation?
Adrenergic Innervation
