Covered by
epithelium
LUMEN
Lined by epithelium
What Is Epithelium?
• Cells are in close apposition to each other
• Demonstrate polarity
– Have a basement membrane
• Rapid cell turnover
• No blood vessels
• Variety of functions
– Absorption, secretion,
protection, sensory
perception, transporta-
tion
Types of
Epithelium
Stroma
Parenchyma
• Epithelial cells
containing secretory
granules
Duct
Basic diagram to show disappearance of duct and
thus formation of endocrine gland
Classification of Exocrine Glands
Exocrine means ducts are involved. Not so in endocrine glands
Based on:-
Cell Number
Type of Secretion
Mode of Secretion
Unicellular Glands
GOBLET CELLS
Nucleus in basal portion
Secretory droplets in apical portion
Multicellular Glands
LINING OF THE STOMACH
Majority have ducts
Stomach is exception
Also classified by shape
of secretory unit
Serous Glands
(Peptides/proteins)
-granular
Seromucous Glands
MIXED
Modes of Secretion
Holocrine – Whole cell
is secreted (hair and
Breast)
Merocrine – Apocrine –
Just the The product+
Synthesized The top portion
Of the plasma
Product is membrane is
released released
Endocrine Glands
ENDOCRINE GLANDS DO NOT HAVE DUCTS,
AS THE PRODUCT (HORMONES) IS RELEASED
THROUGH THE BASE OF THE CELL INTO THE
BLOOD SUPPLY, NOT ONTO A SURFACE LIKE
EXOCRINE
