Epithelial Tissue and Secretory Epithelia

[Blank] cells are responsible for producing and secreting macromolecules in epithelia.

[Blank] epithelial cells are scattered secretory cells commonly found in simple cuboidal, simple columnar, and pseudostratified epithelium.

[Blank] glands develop from covering epithelia through cell proliferation and downgrowth into the subjacent connective tissue.

The ducts of several secretory units converge to form larger ducts in ______ glands, facilitating the transport of secretions.

A ______ gland has an elongated secretory portion and a short duct, as seen in the mucous glands of the colon.

[Blank] glands are characterized by multiple saclike secretory parts that enter the same duct, such as sebaceous glands of the skin.

Several elongated coiled secretory units converge into larger ducts which is the key feature of the ______ type gland.

Ducts of both tubular and acinar secretory units converge at larger ducts in ______ glands such as salivary glands.

The ______ secretion involves the release of secretory vesicles via exocytosis, without any damage to the cells.

In ______ secretion, the disintegration of cells with their contents becoming the secretion marks a destructive process.

[Blank] secretion is characterized by the pinching off of the apical portion of the secretory cell, incorporating part of the cytoplasm into the secretion.

The classification of exocrine glands by the type of their secretions includes mucous, serous and ______.

[Blank] cells are specialized cells present in some exocrine glands that help to squeeze secretions from the acini.

[Blank] glands are specialized for steroid or protein hormone synthesis, releasing their secretions without ducts.

[Blank] across epithelia involves mechanisms that allow the movement of ions and water, essential for absorption and secretion processes.

[Blank] is a mechanism involving receptor-mediated or receptor-independent transport of substances across the cell.

Most epithelial cells have a ______ renewing cell population, allowing for continuous regeneration and maintenance of tissue integrity.

In certain epithelia, like complex glands, cells belong to a ______ cell population that exhibits little mitotic activity unless stimulated by injury.

Epithelial cells that produce and secrete macromolecules may occur in epithelia with other major functions or comprise specialized organs called ______.

[Blank] cells are scattered secretory cells, common in simple cuboidal, simple columnar, and pseudostratified epithelium.

[Blank] glands are named that because they release their contents via exocytosis, a process that doesn't harm the cell.

If acne vulgaris often arises from blocked ducts in ______ glands, this is a result of excessive sebum and keratin production triggered by puberty's hormonal changes?

Based of the image and OCR, gland formation is characterized by the ______ of cells and their downgrowth into the subjacent connective tissue.

Unlike exocrine glands, ______ glands release their products directly into the bloodstream.

Epithelial cells are classified as unicellular or multicellular based on their ______ complexity.

Glands that secrete mucus and oils contain various chemical and cellular processes dependent on these factors include merocrine, apocrine, and ______.

The replacement of epithelial cells is produced by mitotic activity of self-maintaining______ stem cells.

The ______ junction facilitates absorption and secretion.

Glands such as those in the stomach, demonstrate their main function being ______.

Goblet cells help with epithelium found in the ______ tract.

The shape of cells impacts the properties in the ______ layer.

The quantity of cell ______ is a key point for classifying exocrine glands.

Submucosal mucous glands exist inside the ______.

Acne vulgaris is trigged by puberty's ______ changes.

Lack of myoepithelial cells can be found in ______.

Epithelial cells are more prominent in the context of glands, or in complex ______.

Epithelial cells contain structures that permit a stable cell ______.

Exocrine glands are known for containing secreting units containing smaller ______.

[Blank] glands lack myoepithelial cells.

In the context of exocrine glands, the process of ______ marks one that results in cell death due to the disintegration of matter that makes up such glands.

Small mucous glands are found along the ______.

In simple glands, if the secretory portion is elongated and the duct is usually short or absent, the gland is classified as simple ______.

The glands in the uterus and stomach, which consist of several long secretory parts joining to drain into one duct, are classified as branched ______ glands.

In contrast to tubular glands, ______ glands have rounded, sac-like secretory portions, often described as alveolar.

Glands that feature both tubular and acinar secretory units converging at larger ducts are classified as ______ glands.

Mucous glands of the colon and intestinal glands, or crypts of Lieberkühn, exemplified by having elongated secretory portions and short ducts, are of the simple ______ type.

Sweat glands that have a very long, coiled secretory portion with a single duct are categorized as ______ tubular glands.

Unlike exocrine glands that secrete their products through ducts, ______ glands, like those specialized for steroid or protein hormone synthesis, release their products directly into the bloodstream.

In contrast to those that release proteins by exocytosis, ______ are released via diffusion through the cell membrane in endocrine glands.

Exocrine glands can be classified as mucous, serous, or ______, depending on the type of secretions they produce.

The cells responsible for aiding the secretion of exocrine glands through contraction, located around the secretory units, are called ______ cells.
