Q

Endocrine Glands

Exocrine Glands (Modes)

A

Endocrine Glands:
-Secretes products (hormones) into connective tissue and then enters the bloodstream

Exocrine Glands: Secretes directly onto a surface or through a duct connected to a surface

Exocrine Modes:
1) Metrocrine- Exocytosis of membrane bound vesicles

2) Apocrine- Release at apical surface of plasma membrane
3) Holocrine- Cell death, releases secretory products and cell debris (Ex: explosion)

2) autocrine- directly in same cell

25
Q

Difference between serous and muscosal cells

A

Serous:

  • Water
  • Darker staining
  • Nuclei round and oval
