Glandular Epithelium

The document discusses different classifications of glandular epithelium tissues. Glands are classified according to cellularity into unicellular or multicellular glands. Multicellular glands are further divided into simple or compound glands. Glands are also classified as exocrine or endocrine glands. The document also discusses classifications based on the way secretory products leave the cell.

introduction

Glandular epithelium
Glandular epithelial tissues are those formed by
cells specialized in
producing a fluid secretion.
Classification of glands

They are classified according to cellularity into:

1. Unicellular gland: consists of isolated glandular cell, e.g.


goblet cells.

2.Multicellular gland: it consists of secretory and ductal


portions
Goblet cells sweat gland

pancrease
And the multicellular canbe divided into:
■ Simple gland
It has secretary portion and only one unbranched duct, it can be coiled
tubular, tubular and acinar.

■ Compound gland
It has secretary portion and has duct that branches repeatedly, it
can be compound tubular, compound alveolar (acinar) and
compound tubuloalveolar.
Another classification of glands

●■ Exocrine glands
●These glands retain their connection with surface epithelium from
●which they originated, this connection takes the form of tubular
●ducts lined with epithelial cells through which the secretion pass to
●the surface.
●■ Endocrine glands
●These are ductless glands, their secretion transported to the site
●of action by blood stream rather than ducts, e.g. adrenals, thyroid
●and parathyroid glands.
According to the way that the secretary products leave the
cell the glands can be classified into:

1. Merocrine glands:
In these glands secretary granules leave the cells by exocytosis with no loss of other cellular
materials, e.g. pancreas.

2. Holocrine glands:
In these glands the product of secretion is shed with the whole cell, e.g.sebaceous gland.

3. Apocrine gland:
In these glands the secretary product is discharged together with the parts of apical cytoplasm, e.g.
mammary gland.
