  2. Non-ciliated- no hair like structures
36
Q

Transitional layering is found where and what does it do?

A

Found within the bladder, needs to be able to expand and compress

37
Q

Glandular epithelial…

A

Functions in secretion- specific epithelial cells that produce and send substances into ducts into surfaces or into blood stream

38
Q

All glands in the body are classified by?

A

Endocrine, and exocrine

39
Q

Endocrine is…

A

Ductless, secrete directly into blood stream

40
Q

Exocrine is..

A

Have ducts, secrete ducts to surfaces of skin, or lumen of organs (ex. sweat)

41
Q

Endo=

42
Q

Exo=

A

outside of

43
Q

3 Types of exocrine…

A
  1. Holocrine
  2. Monocrane
  3. Apocrine
44
Q

Holocrine…

A

Accumulate secretions within the cells cytosol, cell dies
(sebaceous glands, oil)

45
Q

Monocrane…

A

Discharges secretion, but stays intact (sweat, saliva)

46
Q

Apocrine….

A

Pinches off part of the cell to become the secretion (mammary glands, milk production)
