Q

5 Epithelial Cell Junctions

A

Epithelial glands
50
Epithelial glands that remain attached to their epithelial origin and deliver their secretions
Exocrine glands
51
Ductless glands and do not maintain a connection to the outside
Endocrine glands
52
4 Classifications of Epithelial Glands
1. Number and morphology of secretory units 2. Branching of their ducts 3. Type of secretory products that they manufacture 4. Mechanisms of secretions of cell products
53
2 Types of Glands
1. Simple - ducts not branched 2. Compound - ducts with two or more branches
54
2 Secretory Portions of glands
1. Tubular - short or long and coiled 2. Acinar - rounded and saclike
55
Types of Compound glands
1. Multiple Tubular 2. Acinar 3. Tubuloacinar
56
Three Basic Mechanisms of Epithelial Glands
1. Merocrine secretion - secretory cells release secretion 2. Holocrine secretion - Entire secretory unit destroyed in the process of secretion 3. Apocrine secretion - Cytoplasm removed from secretory unit
57
5 Types of Simple Exocrine Glands
1. Simple Tubular - elongated secretory portion 2. Branched Tubular - several long secretory parts = 1 duct 3. Coiled Tubular - secretory portion = very long and coiled 4. Acinar or Alveolar - rounded, saclike secretory portion 5. Branched Acinar - multiple saclike portions = same duct
58
3 Types of Compound Glands
1. Tubular - Secretory units = form large ducts 2. Acinar - Secretory units with small ducts = larger duct 3. Tubuloacinar - Ducts of both tubular and acinar = large duct
59
Examples of Simple Tubular
Mucous glands of colon, Intestinal glands
60
Examples of Branched Tubular
Glands in uterus and stomach
61
Examples of Coiled Tubular
Sweat Glands
62
Examples of Acinar/Alveolar
