To review:
The mode of glandular secretion when the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), and membrane components are present.
Introduction:
The different modes of glandular secretion include the eccrine (merocrine), apocrine, and holocrine secretion. In the merocrine secretion, the cell is not destroyed and remains intact. Rather, the secretory product is packaged into secretory vesicles and is released onto surface of the cell through exocytosis. For example, secretions from globlet cells in the intestine. During the apocrine secretions, only the apical portion of the cell’s cytoplasm is shed off to release secretory product. For example, secretions from lactiferous cells of the mammary glands.

What sort of homeostatic imbalances might they experience?arrow_forwardDraw the structure of glandular epithelium?arrow_forwardWhat are various types of glands based on shape of secretory unit?arrow_forward
- What function do keratinized and nonkeratinized stratifiedsquamous epithelia have in common? What is the structural difference between these two? How is this structuraldifference related to a functional difference between them?arrow_forwardRepeat this procedure with the slide of stratified squamous epithelium. Stratified squamous epithelium can be found lining the esophagus and the vagina. - In what structural way is this tissue different from the simple squamous epithelium you observed? (in other words, in what way does it look different to you?)arrow_forwardHow would you distinguish between simple and stratified epithelium? What characteristic of stratified ephithelium might explain why it, rather than simple epithelium, is found lining the oral cavity, esophagus, and vagina?arrow_forward
