|
goblet cells
|
contain large, lightly staining granules that fill the apical portion of the cell. nucleus at base. synthesize and secrete mucins. In intestines and respiratory systems - apical release
|
|
|
enteroendocrine cells
|
small, dense core secretory granules that fill the basal portion of cell. synthesize and secrete hormones. In intestine, respiratory systems - Basal release
|
|
|
parenchyma
|
functional portion of the gland
|
|
|
stroma
|
structural portion of the gland - doesn't play a part in secretion or transport!
|
|
|
exocrine glands
|
In liver, pancreas. cells will differentiate, but will still connect to original site by duct; apical release
|
|
|
endocrine cells
|
connection to the epithelium has been broken - secrete right into the bloodstream (basal release)
|
|
|
merocrine secretion
|
conservation of membrane (exocytosis)
|
|
|
apocrine
|
secretion includes apical part of the cell
|
|
|
holocrine
|
entire cell is lost during secretion
|
|
|
autocrine
|
secretory product stimulates receptor on same cell
|
|
|
paracrine
|
secretion involves neighboring cells
|
|
|
serous
|
type of cellular secretion - enzymatic
|
