sensory glands Flashcards
Serous demilunes are specific structures of sublingual glands
t
Glandula sublingualis is a mixed seromucinous gland with predominance of mucinous
tubules
t
Sublingual gland is a seromucous gland with prevalence of mucous tubules
t
Mucous tubules and serous acini are the components of both Glandula sublingualis and
Glandula submandibularis
t
Submandibular gland is mixed tubuloacinar gland with predominance of serous acini
t
Submandibular salivary gland is a seromucous (tubuloaleolar) gland with the tubular part
in predominace
t
Intralobular striated ducts are important components of parotid glands
t
Parotid gland is composed of serous and also mucous cells
f
Inner stroma of Adrenal Gland is also composed of loose collagenous connective tissue
t
There is a dense network of dense fenestrated capillaries around the beams of the Zona
fasciculata adrenal cells
t
Zona fasciculata of adrenal cortex contains long cords of endocrine cells surrounded by
fenestrated sinusoidal capillaries
t
Chromaffin cells are located in the adrenal cortex in Zona fasciculata
f
Adrenal Medulla possesses chromaffin cells that are modified sympathetic postganglionic
neurons
t
Cells of adrenal cortex have characteristic features of steroid -secreting cells
t
Cytoplasm of cells in Zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex is rich in lipid droplets that give
the cells a spongy look
