Study Notes
Endocrine Glands and Exocrine Glands
- Endocrine glands release hormones into the blood or lymphatic fluid to prompt specific target organs to respond.
- Endocrine glands are structurally diverse and their secretions range from modified amino acids to steroids.
- Exocrine glands release their products onto body surfaces or into body cavities through unicellular or multicellular glands.
- Glandular epithelia can be simple or compound and are further categorized by their secretory units as tubular, alveolar, or tubuloalveolar.
- Merocrine glands secrete products by exocytosis, while holocrine glands accumulate products until they rupture.
- Sebaceous (oil) glands are the only true example of holocrine glands.
- Connective tissue is the most abundant and widely distributed tissue in the body.
- There are four main classes of connective tissue: connective tissue proper, cartilage, bone, and blood.
- Connective tissue functions include binding and supporting, protecting, insulating, storing reserve fuel, and transporting substances within the body.
- Connective tissues consist largely of nonliving extracellular matrix, which separates the living cells of the tissue.
- All connective tissues arise from mesenchyme, an embryonic tissue.
- Connective tissues have three main components: ground substance, fibers, and cells. Ground substance has interstitial fluid, cell adhesion proteins, and proteoglycans.
