Themajority of sweat glandsare eccrine. They are long, unbranched, tubular structures with a highly coiledsecretory portionsituated deep in the dermis. A narrowerductemerges from the gland and it opens via a pore on the skin surface.
The other type of gland is an endocrine gland. Glands are organs that produce and release a substance. Exocrine glands release substances into a duct or onto external skin. Exocrine glands are classified based on their structure. This class...
Pores in cells, known as channels, allow the regulated transportation of molecules and ions necessary for cellular function. Below are described the specific functions of the sweat pore, oil pore, and lactiferous duct. Sweat Pore Function There are two types of sweat glands in the skin: ...
2.1 Salivary gland epithelial cells Salivary gland(s) is an exocrine gland which produces saliva that is important to maintain physiological status and hygiene of oral cavity and helps in the digestion of food. Major salivary glands in the humans constitute parotidgland (PG), submandibular gland ...
There is already evidence that the a subunit of 5-100 (i.e., S-lOOa non /3) is localized in cells specificallyinvolved in the regulationof pH, water,and electrolytesas it is present in salivary gland ducts and sweat glands(46). The present study describesthe localizationof the a-...
However, the gland does not return to its weight at birth for 2 years. The zona reticularis differentiates by the end of 3 years.1, 2 The fetal adrenal is responsive to both ACTH and, during the first half of gestation, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). In vitro studies have shown ...
Glands are also classified by the shape of their duct. Tubular glands have a tube shape to their secretory duct with an interior lumen to transport secretions. Tubular glands have an oblong tubular structure and gland shape. Examples of tubular glands are seen in the sweat glands as well as ...
let gases, water and nutrients pass through to surrounding cells (called interstitial fluid). The fluid then drains back into the lymph vessels, then goes to the lymph glands to be filtered and finally to a larger lymphatic vessel located at the base of the neck called the thoracic duct. ...
