A gland cell is a specialized type of cell that produces and secretes substances such as hormones, enzymes, or other fluids necessary for various physiological functions. These cells are typically found in glands, which are structures that can be either endocrine (releasing hormones directly into the bloodstream) or exocrine (secreting substances through ducts to specific locations). Examples of gland cells include pancreatic cells that produce insulin and salivary gland cells that secrete saliva. Their functions are crucial for maintaining homeostasis and supporting bodily processes.
