All glands in the body, such as salivary glands and the pancreas, are derived from which type of tissue? a. Epithelial. b. Connective. c. Muscle. d. Nervous. e. Secretory. Fill in the blank: The ___ tonsils are the lymphatic tissues located at the end of the n...
There is much variability among insects in the anatomical location of pheromone production, just as there are many differences in the gross morphology and function of pheromone producing tissue. Complexity varies from simple unicellular glands distributed throughout theintegumentto elaborate internal cellula...

Termites are derived from and are more adapted than wood roaches in dealing with refractory materials such as wood and humus. Associated with this specialization, they lost the crop and midgut ceca and enlarged their hindgut structures (Fig. 2D). Termites digest cellulose with their own cellulase...
Lymph vessels that conduct lymph away from nodes are called ___ vessels. In which layer of the skin are sweat glands usually located? Of the four basic categories of tissues, what type of tissue makes up glands? What are the glands under the tongue called? Name the three ...
Previous reviews have highlighted that spider venom systems are derived from the salivary glands or evolved from the silk-producing glands present in early chelicerates [8,9]. For the former hypothesis, many digestive proteases that are also produced by spider venom glands cause tissue destruction ...
Although other exocrine organs such as the mammary glands, pancreas, and prostate have received intense interest from developmental as well as tumorigenic points of view, far less is known about these processes in the salivary glands. The salivary glands are divided into three major types: parotid...
Transcriptional profiling identified 933 sexually dimorphic genes out of the 14 371 protein‐coding genes expressed in the three major murine salivary glands: parotid, sublingual, and submandibular. Most (89%) sex‐specific genes were enriched in a singl
Parafollicular cells are present in the interfollicular connective tissue stroma of the thyroid gland. Contrarily to follicular cells that arise from the endoderm, parafollicular cells derive from the neural crest cells and belong to the neuroendocrine system [2]. Parafollicular cells secrete calcitonin...
A crucial function of the lymph node (LN) is to facilitate physical interactions among rare immune cells arriving from various tissue compartments. The unique positioning of the LN at the interface between the blood and lymphatic systems allows tissue-derived antigen and antigen-presenting cells (APC...
