Does the stomach contain hormone producing cells?
"Glands" are like tiny pits in the lining of the stomach. These glands are lined with certain cells: Parietal cells: secrete acid and intrinsic factor Mucous cells: secrete mucus Chief cells: secrete pepsinogen Enteroendocrine cells: secrete various Stem cells: create new cells (So glands are not cells)
What tissue are glands composed of?
Glands are composed of epithelial tissue. These specialized cells can secrete substances such as hormones, enzymes, or sweat. Glands can be classified as exocrine glands, which secrete their products into ducts, or endocrine glands, which secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.
Endocrine glands secrete?
Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream to regulate various bodily functions and maintain homeostasis. These hormones act as chemical messengers that travel to target cells or organs where they elicit specific physiological responses. Common examples of endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands.
What is an aggregation of cells specialized to secrete or excrete materials not related to their function?
This aggregation of cells specialized to secrete or excrete materials not related to their function is known as a gland. Glands can be classified into various types based on their secretion mechanisms and the type of substances they release. Examples include sweat glands, salivary glands, and endocrine glands.
What glands send messages to target cells?
The endocrine glands are responsible for sending messages to target cells in the body. These glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream, which then travel to specific target cells where they exert their effects by binding to specific receptors on the cell surface. Examples of endocrine glands include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands.

How do endocrine glands communicate with cells?
endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream and these hormones reach cells and impact these cells.
Which are the specialized cells that secrete material used elsewhere in the body?
endocrine glands, exocrine glands, pituary glands, mucous glands, synovial glands, and sebaceous glands all secrete material fluids
What are the types of secretory cells in the stomach and what do they secrete?
Gastric glands which secrete:HClRenninpepsin

What is the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands?
Endocrine glands secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream. Exocrine glands secrete their hormones into a duct that leaves the body externally: for example, sweat glands empty onto the skin. Endocrine gland secretes compounds (hormones) into the blood. Exocrine gland secretes compounds outside of the body (including into the GI tract since the GI tract is topologically outside of the body). Exocrine glands have ducts that carry their secretory product to a surface. These glands include the sweat, sebaceous, and mammary glands and, the glands that secrete digestive enzymes.The endocrine glands do not have ducts to carry their product to a surface. They are called ductless glands. The word endocrine is derived from the Greek terms "endo," meaning within, and "krine," meaning to separate or secrete. The secretory products of endocrine glands are called hormones and are secreted directly into the blood and then carried throughout the body where they influence only those cells that have receptor sites for that hormone.
What is glandular mucous?
The cells that secrete mucus are the goblet cells. They are not considered glands and there are no glands that are mucous.
Do sweat glands release oil?
no they do not because they secrete water to maintain temperature of the body in summer or while we panic there is increase in temperature of the body
Does a gland secrete Chemical messengers called leucocytes?
No, glands do not secrete leucocytes. Leucocytes, also known as white blood cells, are produced in the bone marrow and play a key role in the immune system by protecting the body against infections and diseases. Glands secrete hormones, enzymes, or other substances that regulate various bodily functions.
