acini

A

secretory units (end pieces) of exocrine glands, whether rounded or tubular on sections

according to the nature of secretions they produce

21
Q

types of acini?

A

serous, mucous

22
Q

what are these

A

serous- watery secretion rich in enzymes & mucous- viscous secretion rich in glycoproteins - secretions from acini

23
Q

types of acini of salivary glands?

A

1) serous acini
2) mucous acini
3) mixed acini, composed of mucous cells & serous cells, the latter making serous demilunes

24
Q

what is this, what is arrow pointing to

A

mixed acini (in submandibular gland)

arrow > serous demilnue, consists of serous cells forming a semilunar cap at terminal portion of mucous acinus

25
Q

what is this

A

myoepithelial cells located btwn basal plasma membranes of acinar cells & basement membranes

26
Q

make up of myoepithelial cells?

A

actin, cytokeratin

have contractility

27
Q

what is this

A

salivary gland

showing arrangement of acini and intralobular ducts

28
Q

cell type of duct cells?

A

simple columnar epithelium w/ basal striations

29
Q

what marks mitochondrial enzymes?

A

succinic dehydrogenase

30
Q
A

striated duct

marked by SDH in mitochondria

31
Q

cell type lining intercalated / striated intralobular duct cells?

A

intercalated: simple cuboidal epithelium
striated: simple columnar epithelium

32
Q

cell types of interlobular, lobar, and main excretory ducts?

A

interlobular: psuedostratified columnar
lobar: stratified columnar
main: stratified squamous

33
Q
A

interlobar ducts between lobes

34
Q

what type of gland is parotid?

A

pure serous gland

ONLY serous acini; intercalated ducts; conspicuous striated ducts

35
Q

what is this

A

parotid gland

pure serous gland

36
Q

what is this

A

submandibular gland

mixed gland; serous acini > mucous acini

mixed acini w/ serous demilunes

intercalated ducts

conspicuous straited ducts

37
Q

mixed acini w/ serous demilunes

intralobular ducts are poorly developed

38
Q

A

an enzyme-rich fluid

stimulated by cholescystokinin (CCK)

contains many digestive enzymes

55

a fluid rich in bicarbonate ions & water

secretion is stimulated by secretin

autonomic nerves are secondarily important to secretion

56

both= compound acinar gland, contains only serous secretory acini

HOWEVER, pancreas distinguishable histologically from parotid by:

1) presence of centroacinar cells
2) absence of straited ducts
3) absence of myoepithelial cells
