1. Glandular Epithelia Exocrine Glands can be Classified by: –Structure of gland –Type of secretion produced –Mode of secretion Endocrine Glands –Secretes hormones into directly into interstitial fluid, then blood stream (no ducts). Hormones only have an effect on tissues that have receptors for that hormone. Exocrine Glands –Secretions made and discharged through ducts onto an exposed surface.

2.  Structural Classification of Simple and Compound Exocrine Glands

3. Mucous – thick, sticky, viscous solution. Serous – watery, slippery, thin solution. Mixed – contains elements of both mucous and serous solutions.  Type of Secretion released from an Exocrine Gland

4. Example of Mucous Glands The interior of the stomach is lined by a secretory sheet whose secretions protect the walls from acids and enzymes.

5. The submandibular salivary gland is a mixed gland containing cells that produce both serous and mucous secretions Example of Serous & Mixed Glands

6. Membranes = Epithelial Tissue Connective Tissue 4 types of Membranes –Mucous –Serous –Cutaneous –Synovial : ) Membranes function to cover and protect body.

7. Mucous Membranes Line passageways open to exterior. Moistened by mucous (mucin + H 2 O). 3 Layers: –Epithelium (simple or stratified) –Areolar CT called ‘Lamina Propria’ –Smooth Muscle called ‘Muscularis Mucosae’ Roles: –Protection –Absorption –Secretion

8. Serous Membranes Lines internal body cavities. Main function is to reduce friction. Thin, watery, serous fluid (transduate). 2 layers: –Simple Squamous Epithelium (Mesothelium). –Thin areolar C.T. (subserous fascia). 1) Pleura, 2) Pericardium and 3) Peritoneum

9. Internal body cavities are lined with membranes that produce serous secretions. Serous Membranes

10. Modes of Secretion from Exocrine Glands Merocrine (eccrine) Secretion –Exocytosis (vesicles fuse with PM and release contents from cell. –Most common mode of secretion. Apocrine Secretion –Exocytosis but lipid rich content and can function as pheromones (‘scent glands’). Holocrine Secretion –Involves entire cell, fills with vesicles and bursts, destroys the cell. Cell debris part of product.

11. Modes (or Mechanisms) of Secretion exposed surface

12. Mucous Serous Cutaneous

13. Roles: Composed of Layers of fibrous C.T. in between various tissues. Fasciae 1) Provides stability, maintains relative positions of organs. 2) Allows for distribution of blood, lymph vessels and nerves.

14. All organ systems are interconnected 2. Deep Fascia There are 3 types of Fasciae 1. Superficial Fascia 3. Subserous Fascia

15. Superficial Fascia (hypodermis) –Subcutaneous layer (adipose and dense irreg). –Insulation, padding, allows movement. Deep Fascia –Dense connective tissue, lots of collagen. –Many layers with varying orientations. Subserous Fascia –Areolar connective tissue. –In between deep fascia and serous membrane.
