Epithelial glands (exam 1)

Question 1

What is meant by unicellular glands

Answer 1

Secretory cells may remain incorporated within the epithelial layer

Question 2

What is meant by multicellular glands

Answer 2

May grow into the underlying connective tissue

Question 3

if the epithelial down growth degenerates then what type of secretory gland is developed

Answer 3

Endocrine gland

Question 4

Pituitary, thyroid, pineal, parathyroid, adrenal, gonads are examples of what kind of gland

Answer 4

Endocrine glands

Question 5

What do endocrine glands secrete there product into

Answer 5

surrounding blood vessels

Question 6

what do all exocrine glands have in common

Answer 6

They have a duct connecting it to the surface

Question 7

What do all endocrine glands have in common

Answer 7

They do not have ducts

Question 8

what is usually secreted in an endocrine duct

Answer 8

hormones

Question 9

Paracrine

Answer 9

secretion affects neighboring cells example: growth factors

Question 10

Autocrine

Answer 10

Secretion affects the cell that released the secretory product. example: IL-2 secreted by T-cells

Question 11

examples of unicellular glands

Answer 11

goblet cells of the intestine and trachea (exocrine) mucous cells of the stomach (exocrine) enteroendocrine cells (endocrine)

Question 12

A duct is a sign of what

Answer 12

it is exocrine and multicellular

Question 13

what kind of glands do not exhibit ductal branching

Answer 13

simple multicellular glands

Question 14

What kind of glands do have ductal branching

Answer 14

Compound multicellular glands

Question 15

example of straight tubular gland

Answer 15

crypts of Lieberkuhn in large intestine

Question 16

example of coiled tubular gland

Answer 16

sweat glands of skin

Question 17

Example of branched tubular gland

Answer 17

Fundic, pyloric, and cardiac glands of stomach

Question 18

Example of Alveolar (Acinar)

Answer 18

Meibomian glands of eyelid Sebaceous glands of skin

Question 19

Tubuloalveolar (-acinar)

Answer 19

Salivary glands, brunner’s glands of duodenum, and mucous glands of esophagus

Question 20

Glands of the oral cavity are an example of what kind of excretory

Answer 20

Branched tubular glands

Question 21

Exocrine glands of the pancreas are an example of what kind of excretory duct

Answer 21

branched acinar/alveolar gland

Question 22

The mammary gland is an example of what kind of secretory duct

Answer 22

branched tubuloacinar gland

Question 23

what is a serous demilune

Answer 23

commonly found in Acinus mostly mucous capped by a half-moon shaped group of serous cells

Question 24

where can mixed glands be found

Answer 24

Submandibular and sublingual

Question 25

List the mechanisms of secretion from thinnest product to thickest

Answer 25

merocrine (eccrine), Apocrine, holocrine

Question 26

Merocrine (eccrine)

Answer 26

secretory product is typically stored in membrane-bound vesicles, and cytoplasm/cell membrane is retrieved in an exocytosis/endocytosis cycle Cell is not damaged in this type of secretion

Question 27

Apocrine

Answer 27

apical cytoplasm is released along with secretory product example: axillary sweat glands Part of the cell is damaged

Question 28

Holocrine

Answer 28

Entire cell is released as part of secretory product example: sebaceous gland Entire cell is lost

Question 29

Submandibular gland

Answer 29

Both serous and mucous cells serous cells form serous delimit capping mucous acini myoepithelial cells surround acini

Question 30

Sublingual gland

Answer 30

Mucous acini (pale in appearance) (PAS+) flattened nuclei at basal poles of cells myoepithelial cells surround acini

Question 31

Parotid gland

Answer 31

Serous Acini Apical regions contain zymogen granules RER predominates in basal regions of secretory cells - this makes sense because zymogen granules are protein containing granules

Question 32

What is this slide

Answer 32

Question 33

What is this slide

Answer 33

Parotid Gland

Question 34

What is this slide

Answer 34

Sublingual Gland 100x

Question 35

What is this slide

Answer 35

Sebaceous gland
