The glands that produce secretions formed simply by secretory cells are known as unicellular glands, with goblet cells being the most common example. These cells are specialized for secretion and are found in various epithelial tissues, particularly in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Other examples include certain types of mucous glands that consist primarily of secretory cells without complex duct systems.
What else can I help you with?
What are the secretions of the parathyroid glands?
Parathyroid glands are endrocrine glands.They produce parathamone hormone.It controls Ca and phosphate level.
How do apocrine glands work?
Apocrine glands are a type of sweat gland that produce a thicker secretion compared to eccrine glands. They are most concentrated in the armpits and groin area. These glands release their secretions into hair follicles, and when mixed with bacteria on the skin's surface, can produce body odor.
What salivary glands that produce secretions rich in salivary amylase?
The salivary glands that produce secretions rich in salivary amylase are primarily the parotid glands. These glands secrete a serous fluid that contains high levels of amylase, an enzyme that begins the digestion of starches in the mouth. Although the submandibular and sublingual glands also contribute to saliva production, the parotid glands are the main source of amylase.
What releases secretions into the mouth?
Salivary glands, they include: sublingual, submadibular, and parotid.
List the three structural elements of exocrine glands?
This is the IB answer key to this Question: secretory cells arranged in layer one cell thick; cells contain secretory vesicles; cells are grouped in acini; surrounded by basement membrane; cells adjacent to duct/lumen;
Which glands produce secretions that are simply formed by the secretory cells and then discharged into a duct?
Exocrine Glands
Which glands produce secretions that are simple formed by the secretory cells and then discharged into a duct?
merocrine
What is merocrine secretion?
Merocrine secretion is a method of secretion in which secretory vesicles release their contents through exocytosis without the loss of cellular membrane. This process is common in glands that produce sweat, saliva, and digestive enzymes.
What is a group of specialized epithelial cells that can produce secretions?
A gland is a group of specialized epithelial cells that can produce secretions, such as hormones or enzymes, that are released into the bloodstream or a duct. Examples include sweat glands, salivary glands, and oil glands.
Do merocrine glands produce their secretions by accumulating their secretions internally until the cell ruptures?
No, as far as I can tell from definition, and as far as rupturing the cell, because definition of Merocrine is: "of or relating to a gland whose secretory cells remain undamaged during secretion".
What is the name of the science of internal secretory glands?
Endocrinology is the branch of biology and medicine that deals with the study of internal secretory glands and the hormones they produce.
Which of the glands types merocine or holocrine would be expected to have the highest rate of cell division and why?
Holocrine glands are a type of secretory gland where the secretory product is formed inside the cytoplasm and the secretion is released by the disruption of the plasma membrane and destruction of the cell. Therefore, holocrine is the answer because it is a secretory gland and cells are lost in the secretion, thus needing continuous reproduction.
What other diseases are caused by cystic fibrosis?
Cystic fribrosis is an inherited disease of the secretory glands, including the glands which produce sweat and mucus.
