- Multicellular glands. The simplest form of a multicellular gland is a secretory epithelial sheath-a surface epithelium consisting entirely of secretory cells (e.g. the epithelium lining the inner surface of the stomach, where the mucous secretion protects the stomach wall from the acidic contents of the stomach) .

Simple Cuboidal Epithelium This is one of the specializations found in epithelial tissues. Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in organs that are specialized for secretion, such as salivary glands and thyroid follicles, and those that are specialized for diffusion, such as the kidney tubules.

Epithelial cells Secretion In glands, epithelial tissue is specialised to secrete specific chemical substances such as enzymes, hormones and lubricating fluids. Absorption Certain epithelial cells lining the small intestine absorb nutrients from the digestion of food.

- Secretory cells such as those found in epithelium lining the exocrine portion of pancreas (pancreatic acinar cells). These cells have active Golgi bodies located near the nucleus that produce membrane bound vesicles for exocytosis of digestive enzymes that are packaged within them.

Epithelial Tissue Epithelial cells may be squamous, cuboidal, or columnar in shape and may be arranged in single or multiple layers. Simple cuboidal epithelium is found in glandular tissue and in the kidney tubules. Simple columnar epithelium lines the stomach and intestines.Pseudostratified columnar epithelium lines portions of the respiratory tract and some of the tubes of the male reproductive tract.hey form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands. They perform a variety of functions that include protection, secretion, absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.

Epithelium: Types of simple epithelium A few of the cells are outlined, to help you identify them. This is a single layer of cells, and the cells are all tall columnar. Tall columnar epithelium lines the ducts of many exocrine glands. This type of epithelium is adapted for secretion and/or absorption, and can also be protective. Simple secretory columnar epithelium lines the stomach and uterine cervix.The simple columnar epithelium that lines the intestine also contains a few goblet cells.

Mode of secretion of exocrine glands? Modes of Secretion. Secretory cells of exocrine glands release their products into ducts in three different ways. The mode of secretion can be classified as merocrine, apocrine, or holocrine. Cells that secrete products via the merocrine method form membrane-bound secretory vesicles internal to the cell.n exocrine glands, products of these cells collect in the duct of the gland and flow toward the surface to which the duct is in contact. Since endocrine glands lack ducts, the product is released across the cell membrane into interstitial spaces around the cells.

NK cell An epithelial cell that secretes a watery fluid containing proteins, glycoproteins, and often antibodies (IgA, IgG, and IgM). Serous cells and mucous cells are the two varieties of secretory cells found in exocrine glands.lara cell. A cuboidal epithelial cell found in the lining of the terminal and the respiratory bronchioles of the lungs. Clara cells are nonciliated, and they secrete surfactant, like the type II alveolar epithelial cells found deeper in the bronchial tree.

A&P 2 - Endocrine system Compare the structure and function of exocrine glands to that of endocrine glands. - Exocrine glands-contain ducts that secrete products of the gland onto an epithelial surface. Secretions have extracellular effects, such as digestion-Endocrine glands-ductless glands that release secretions into bloodstream.Secretions have intracellular effect, alter metabolism of target cell.

Exocrine gland Exocrine gland. Exocrine glands are glands that produce and secrete substances onto an epithelial surface by way of a duct. Examples of exocrine glands include sweat, salivary, mammary, ceruminous, lacrimal, sebaceous, and mucous. Exocrine glands are one of two types of glands in the human body, the other being endocrine glands, which secrete their products directly into the bloodstream.

Gland Merocrine glands cells secrete their substances by exocytosis (e.g. mucous and serous glands). Also called eccrine. e.g. max sweat gland of humans, goblet cells, salivary gland, tear gland, intestinal glands. The type of secretory product of exocrine glands may also be one of three categories:

Exocrine gland Exocrine glands contain a glandular portion and a duct portion, the structures of which can be used to classify the gland.1  The duct portion may be branched (called compound) or unbranched (called simple).he liver and pancreas are both exocrine and endocrine glands; they are exocrine glands because they secrete products— bile and pancreatic juice —into the gastrointestinal tract through a series of ducts, and endocrine because they secrete other substances directly into the bloodstream.

Sebaceous gland The type of secretion of the sebaceous glands is referred to as holocrine. In the eyelids, meibomian glands, also called tarsal glands, are a type of sebaceous gland that secrete a special type of sebum into tears.Fordyce spots are ectopic (misplaced) sebaceous glands found usually on the lips, gums and inner cheeks.he type of secretion of the sebaceous glands is referred to as holocrine.

- Cells which are specialized to secrete mucus are called mucous cells. Examples in the GI system include secretory cells of the salivary glands, esophageal glands, stomach surface, pyloric glands, and Brunner's glands of the duodenum. These cells are typically organized into tubular secretory units.

Epithelium Study Guide 1 Simple signifies a single layer of epithelial cells.  2 Stratified signifies two or more layers of epithelial cells. 3  By convention, a stratified epithelium is described according to the shape of cells on its free surface. A columnar epithelium is often associated with secretion or absorption.  2 Glandular describes epithelial tissue found in glands and specialized for exocrine or endocrine secretion.  3 Transitional describes a specialized type of epithelium which lines urinary passages.

Merocrine Merocrine (or eccrine) is a term used to classify exocrine glands and their secretions in the study of histology. A cell is classified as merocrine if the secretions of that cell are excreted via exocytosis from secretory cells into an epithelial-walled duct or ducts and thence onto a bodily surface or into the lumen.

- An estimated 90 percent of deaths resulting from pneumonia occur in people 65 years and older. Mortality resulting from influenza also occurs primarily in the elderly. Urinary tract infections are the most common cause of bacteremia in older adults. Asymptomatic bacteriuria occurs frequently in the elderly; however, antibiotic treatment does not appear to be efficacious.

- salivary gland. Kidney (corpuscles and tubules) In contrast, the secretory units of the kidney, called renal corpuscles, comprise a relatively small proportion of the kidney. The bulk of the kidney consists of highly specialized tubules, which correspond to the duct tree of a typical gland. Together, the renal corpuscle and its associated tubule is called a nephron.

- Goblet cells, which stand alone within a surface epithelium, are a characteristic feature of the intestine (as well as the respiratory tract and the female reproductive tract). Epithelial cells which are specialized to secrete mucus are called mucous cells.ntestinal Absorptive Cells. Absorptive cells, or enterocytes, are the predominant epithelial cell type lining the lumen of the small intestine and colon. These cells are specialized for absorption of nutrients across the apical plasma membrane and export of these same nutrients across the basal plasma membrane.

Glandular Epithelium Glandular Epithelium. A gland is one or more cells that produce and secrete a specific product. The product is always a water-based fluid (aqueous) and usually contains proteins (the product is referred to as a secretion).

- Glands. Glands of the body are classified as either exocrine or endocrine types. Exocrine glands are glands that retain ducts to body surfaces. During development, endocrine glands lose their contacts to embryological surfaces(ducts) and become isolated as small blocks of tissues.ndocrine and exocrine glands secrete various products. These include hormones, enzymes, metabolites, and other molecules. In exocrine glands, products of these cells collect in the duct of the gland and flow toward the surface to which the duct is in contact.
