Study Notes
Types of Glands
- Exocrine glands secrete their product through ducts.
Function of Stroma
- The stroma provides support to the gland and allows for the delivery of oxygen and nutrients.
Classification of Glands
- Glands are classified into two major groups: exocrine and endocrine glands.
Function of Endocrine Glands
- Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
Parenchyma of a Gland
- The parenchyma of a gland is the functional part of the gland that performs secretion.
Classification of Exocrine Glands
- Exocrine glands are classified based on their mode of secretion: merocrine, apocrine, and holocrine.
Secretion of Endocrine Glands
- Endocrine glands secrete hormones into connective tissue.
Characteristics of Mucous and Serous Glands
- Mucous glands have a mucous acinus with a mucin-containing secretion, while serous glands have a serous acinus with a watery secretion.
Secretions of Endocrine Glands
- The secretions of endocrine glands are called hormones.
Mode of Secretion of Exocrine Glands
- Exocrine glands secrete their products through ducts.
Function of Duct System
- The duct system collects and transports the secretions of the gland to the surface.
Function of Secretory Component
- The secretory component of unicellular glands produces and secretes the product.
Characteristics of Submandibular Salivary Gland
- The submandibular salivary gland is a mixed gland with both mucous and serous acini.
Mode of Secretion of Sebaceous Gland
- The sebaceous gland secretes through holocrine secretion.
Characteristics of Mucous Membrane
- The mucous membrane is characterized by the presence of mucin, a glycoprotein.
Characteristics of Serous Glands
- Serous glands are characterized by the presence of serous acini and a watery secretion.
Mode of Secretion of Mammary Gland
- The mammary gland secretes lipid and protein through a merocrine mode of secretion.
Location of Goblet Cells
- Goblet cells are primarily found in the epithelial lining of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and female reproductive tracts.
Characteristics of Serous Glands
- Serous glands are characterized by the presence of serous acini and a watery secretion.
Mode of Secretion of Most Exocrine Glands
- Most exocrine glands secrete through a merocrine mode of secretion.
Characteristics of Gastric Gland
- The gastric gland is a type of exocrine gland that secretes digestive enzymes.
Secretion of Mucous Glands
- Mucous glands produce a mucin-containing secretion.
Characteristics of Apocrine Secretion
- Apocrine secretion is characterized by the loss of the apical portion of the cell.
Characteristics of Serous Membrane
- The serous membrane is characterized by the presence of a thin layer of serous fluid.
