A&P 1 L 3 Flashcards
Branched duct leads to surface
Compound glands
Unbranched duct leads to surface
Simple glands
Watery secretion with high enzyme concentration
Serous cells
Secrete thick mucous that is rich in glycoproteins “mucin”
Mucous cells
What granular secretion glands stays in tact and release fluid without loss (majority of secretory cells)
Merocrine glands
What type of epithelial gland Secrete products thru ducts?
Exocrine
What type of epithelial gland Secrete products directly into tissue fluid or blood? (Ductless)
Endocrine
Types of multicellular glands
Simple & compound
What are the classification of gland shapes
Tubular & alveolar
Consist of epithelial-lined tubes
Tubular glands
Terminal portions form saclike dilutions
Alveolar/Acrinar glands
Major cell types
Resident & Wandering
Types of resident cells
Fibroblast, macrophages & mast cells
Example of wandering cells
White blood cells
Types of connective tissue fibers
Collagenous, elastic & reticular
Characteristics of connective tissues
- cells are widely scattered
- usually has a good direct blood supply
- matrix
Substance that suspends cells in tissue
Matrix
3 types of matrix
Liquid/fluid
Solid
Gel
Big scavenger cells
Macrophages
Types of mast cells
Heparin
Histamine
Growth Factor
Blood thinner
Heparin
Defense against allergens
Histamines
Produces protein fiber cells
Fibroblast
Found in constant #’s most of the time
Resident cells
