Lecture 9 Flashcards
How are glands formed?
Growth signal received by Epithelium.
Profileration of cells occur.
After the profileration of cells occur, the epithelial cells invade the connective space via Extracellular protein degradation enzymes produced which creates a space in the connective tissue.
What are striated ducts?
Keeps ductile system open+ reabsorbs sodium ions
What are excretory ducts?
Excreting substances
What does the main collecting duct do?
The secretions collect here
How does Holocrine secretion work?
Secretoory cells fills up with granules
Organelles degenerate and die off
Plasma membrane breaks and content is released
Cytoplasm is lost
What is glycolisation?
Covalent attachment of sugars by enzymes to proteins+ lipids to form glycoproteins+ glycolipids
What is pinocytosis?
Liquid droplets are ingested by cells
Difference between endocytosis and exocytosis
Endocytosis is the engulfing of molecules inside the cell via vesicle formation whereas exocytosis is the release of molecules out of the cell.
Neurocrine secretion
Any molecule secreted by nerve cells
Cytokrine secretion
the whole cell is secreted and is only found in the testes
Role of glycolisation
- Aid protein folding
-Prevents digestion by intracellular proteases
-Prevents lipid digestion by intracellular lipases
Cell recognition
Role on cell to extracellular matric attachment
What are the cell functions via secretion
- Adhesion to substrates and neighbouring cells
- Mobility of cells
- Communication with neighbouring cells
- Contact inhibition of movement and division
- Cell survival
Where are simple tubular found?
Large intestine. Secretory portion of the gland is a straight tube formed by secretory goblet cells
Where are simple branched tubular found?
Stomach. Mucus secreting glands are in the pylorus
Where are simple coiled tubular found?
Skin. The eccrine gland in the skin with the secretory potion located deep within the dermis
