what are some glands?
|
endocrine, exocrine, merocrine, apocrine, holocrine
|
|
|
what are endocrine glands? what are some examples?
|
secrete hormones, become seperated from the epithelium from which it developed; pituitary gland, adrenal gland
|
|
|
what are exocrine glands? what are some examples?
|
glands that maintain an open contact with the epithelium from which it developed, secretions that are produced go through a tube-like passage way(duct) to get to the surface; mucus gland digestive gland
|
|
|
what ia an apocrine gland?
|
accumulate their secretory product at the apical surface of the secreting cells, portion pinches off and forms the secretion, cell repairs itself; mammary glands
|
|
|
what happens in the holocrine gland? What is an example of a holocrine gland?
|
secretory gland accumulates in cytoplasm cell dies and is discharged with its contents as the secretion, cell is replaced; sebaceous glands
|
|
|
what are ducts?
|
tube-like passageways that secretions flow through in the exocrine gland
|
|
|
what are HORMONES?
|
secretions in the endocrine gland

nervous tissues are generally made up of what?
|
neuroglial cells and neurons

|
what is the function of a dendrite?
|
act to conduct the electrical stimulation recieved from other neural cells to the cell body
|
|
|
what is the function of an axon?
|
conduct electrical impulses away from the neuron's cell body or soma

|
what are the 5 manifestations of inflammation?
|
redness, heat, swelling, pain, and function disturbance
|
|
|
what are mitotic cells?
|
cells that continue to divide throughout life, damage repaired through regeneration
|
|
|
what are semi-mitotic cells?
|
cells that do not divide after growth ceases, but can still divide in response to injury (regeneration)
|
|
|
what are post mitotic cells?
|
cells with very limited ability to replicate, if killed, they are usually replaced with a different cell type
