how are exocrine glands classified
shape
simple/ compound
type of secretion
exocrine glands shape
- tubular
- acinar
tubular
elongated
acinar
grape shape
simple exocrine glands
drain to one duct
compound exocrine glands
multiple ducts drain to common duct
structure of a gland
duct portion at the top where products secreted
secretory portion- main, lower body of the duct
types of exocrine secretion
serous
mucous
serous
watery proteinaceous fluids
- lubrications
mucous
mucus rich in glycoprotein
a common unicellular gland
goblet cell
goblet cell
simple columnar epithelial cells that secrete mucus
where are goblet cells found
- upper resp tract
- jejunum, colon
function of goblet cell (unicellular)
- lubrication
- protection
- trap dust and microbes
parotid salivary gland is the
biggest salivary gland
parotid gland secretion type
serous- salivary amylase
what innervates the parotid salivary gland
parasympathetic innervation
function of parotid salivary glands
- secrete enzyme- digest food
- secret serous- lubricates bolus
duct system in parotid glands
Acinar (where serous and mucous membranes are found)–> intercalated duct –> striated duct –> interlobular duct –> principle duct
submandibular gland found
a salivary gland found on the jaw
secretion type of submandibular glands
serous, mucous and mix (demilune)
stimulation of submandibular
parasympathetic- watery saliva (enzyme)
sympathetic- thick saliva (mucus)
where are myoepithelial cells found
role in normal mammary glands
- wraps around the edges of luminal acinar cells (where serous produced)
role of myoepithelial cells
able to contract- expelling luminal continents from acinar e.g. milk
