What is the definition of a gland?
A gland is a cell, group of cells, or organ producing a secretion.
What type of gland discharges fragments of the gland's cells during secretion?
apocrine
What glands store secretions until the cells rupture?
Holocrine glands store secretions until the cells accumulate a full load, rupture, and release the contents. This process allows the entire cell, along with the secretions, to be released. Sebaceous glands in the skin are an example of holocrine glands.
What skin gland produces oily secretion that causes blackheads?
The sebaceous gland produces an oily secretion called sebum, which can accumulate in the pores and mix with dead skin cells to form blackheads.
What type of secretion undergo mitosis and rupture?
Holocrine glands are the type of secretion that undergo mitosis and rupture. The cells accumulate secretory products until they burst and release their contents. Examples include sebaceous glands in the skin.
What are the different kinds of body cells?
Red Blood CellsEgg CellsNerve cellsLeaf cells (Palisade)Root hair cellSkin cellsCheek cellsSperm cellsBrain cells
Where is TSH found?
Thyroid secretion hormone is secreted by the thyrotrope cells in d anterior pituitary gland
What cell glands release secretion by rupturing?
The cell glands that release their secretions by rupturing are known as holocrine glands. In holocrine secretion, the entire cell disintegrates to release its contents, which includes both the secretion and cellular debris. An example of a holocrine gland is the sebaceous gland, which produces oil for the skin and hair. This method of secretion contrasts with merocrine and apocrine glands, which release their products without damaging the cells.
What is the gland that produces sweat cells?
The sweat glands, specifically the eccrine and apocrine glands, are responsible for producing sweat cells in the human body. They help regulate body temperature and eliminate waste through the production and secretion of sweat.
What receptor is responsible for the secretion of salivary amylase?
The muscarinic receptors on the salivary gland cells are responsible for the secretion of salivary amylase. Stimulation of these receptors by the neurotransmitter acetylcholine triggers the release of amylase into the saliva.
What cells within what gland are part of the central nervous system and produce several hormones that affect the functioning of the pituitary gland?
The cells within the hypothalamus that are part of the central nervous system and produce hormones are called neurosecretory cells. These cells release hormones that regulate the secretion of various hormones from the pituitary gland, thereby influencing various physiological processes in the body.
Name the exocrine gland that has both endocrine and exocrine functions?
The pancreas has both endocrine (glucagon-alpha cells and insulin-beta cells secretion) and exocrine (digestive enzymes) functions.pancreas
