There are 2 types of Glands

1. Exocrine glands; secrete into ducts 2. Endocrine glands; secrete into tissue fluid or blood

List the 3 types of glandular secretions (name of the glands)

1. Merocrine glands 2. Apocrine glands 3. holocrine glands

Exocrine glands are classified according to the organization of their cells. List the 4 types

1. simple glands 2. compound glands 3. tubular glands 4. alveolar glands

Apocrine Glands Description of secretion & example

Cellular product & portions of the free ends of glandular cells pinch off during secretion. They loose small portions of their cell bodies during secretion. E.g. mammary glands, ceruminous glands lining the external ear canal

Holocrine Glands Description of secretion & example

Disintegrated entire cells filled with secretory products. They release entire cells filled with secretory products. E.g. sebaceous glands of the skin

What are simple tubular glands

Straight tubelike gland that opens directly onto surface e.g. intestinal glands of small intestine

Merocine Glands Description of secretion & example

a fluid product released through the cell membrane by exocytosis with a high enzyme content. They release secretion without loosing cytoplasm. Most secretory cells are merocrine. Mucous cells secrete mucous. E.g. salivary glands, pancreatic glands, sweat glands of the skin

what are branched tubular glands

branched, tubelike gland; duct short or absent e.g. gastric glands

what are alveolar glands

consist of saclike dilations connected to the surface by narrowed ducts

what are tubular glands

consist of simple epithelium lined tubes that opens directly onto surface

Exocrine glands secrete into what

ducts

what are compound glands

have ducts that branch repeatedly before the secretory portion

what are simple glands

have ducts that do not branch before reaching the secretory portion

what are coiled tubular glands

long, coiled, tubelike gland; long duct e.g. eccrine (sweat) glands of skin

A gland consists of how many cells

one or more cell a) unicellular glands; e.g. Mucous-secreting goblet cell b) multicellular glands

what are compound tubular glands

secretory portions are coiled tubulus, usually branched e.g. bulbourethral glands of male

what are compound alveolar glands

secretory portions are irregularly branched tubulus with numerous saclike outgrowths

what are branched alveolar glands

secretory portions of gland expand into saclike compartments along duct e.g. sebaceous gland of skin

Endocrine glands secrete into what

tissue fluid or blood
