Document Summary
Fate of secretion: endocrine no duct; secretion into surrounding tissue or blood system (ex. Delivered through duct to lumen/surface (ex. sweat glands: paracrine acts on neighbouring cell. Structure of secretory portion: tubular tube-shaped (ex. sweat gland, acinar round clusters (ex. salivary gland) Structure of excretory portion or duct: simple one glandular unit per duct, compound several glandular units per duct. Manner of secretion: holocrine cells die; everything secreted (ex. sebaceous glands, merocrine cells unaffected; only secretory products released (ex. sweat glands, apocrine some cell mass loss (ex. mammary glands) Flat and basally located filled with zymogen granules eosinophilic/acidophilic filled with mucinogen droplets - (don"t stain well) *serous demi-lunes = portions of serous cells in a seromucous gland. Large, round & fill most of the cell. Lab 10 salivary glands, pancreas and liver. Three types: submandibular: both serous and mucous acini (90% serous, sublingual: only mucous acini (some with serous demilunes, parotid: only serous acini.
