cells that function to assist secretion by pushing out product

Answer 16

myoepithelial cells

Question 17

glands that produce proteins

Answer 17

Answer 19

mucus glands

Question 20

characteristics of mucus glands

Answer 20

parotid gland
chief cells in stomach

Question 24

examples of mucus glands

Answer 24

goblet cells
mucus cells in stomach
minor salivary glands in tongue and palate

Question 25

___ blood will _____ oxygen which will ____ secretion

Answer 25

increase increase increase

Question 26

exocrine regulation

Answer 26

myoepithelial cells | hormonal

Question 27

secretory product released into nearby CT for vascular dispersal to target cells/organs

Answer 27

endocrine secretion

Question 28

signaling cell is close to target cell so the hormone does not enter blood

Answer 28

paracrine secretion

Question 29

signaling cell is its own target

Answer 29

autocrine secretion

Question 30

regulation of endocrine secretion

Answer 30

hormonal (+/- feedback loops) | ANS
