    Glandular Epithelium

    Uploaded by

    Abby Claire Somera
    Goblet cells are modified epithelial cells that produce and secrete mucus on the surface of the airways and digestive system. In the airways, goblet cell mucus traps bacteria and other particles in inhaled air. In the intestines, goblet cell mucus provides lubrication for food movement during digestion. Glands can be classified based on cellular composition (unicellular or multicellular), secretion method (merocrine, apocrine, holocrine), secretion product (serous or mucous), and morphology (simple or compound tubular, acinar, branched, etc.). Exocrine glands secrete substances into ducts while endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into blood.

    GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM

    Francis Ian L. Salaver, RMT, MD


    GLANDS
    • Composed of cells that are
    specialized to produce and secrete
    substances into ducts or into body
    fluids
    • They can be classified based on:
    • (1) number of cells
    o Unicellular (goblet
    cells) or Multicellular
    GOBLET CELLS
    • Composed of a single cell
    • Interspersed among other
    nonsecretory epithelial cells
    • Found in respiratory tract and
    intestines
    • Secretes mucus
    • Can be stained by Periodic
    acid Schiff and Alcian blue
    GOBLET (unicellular)
    • Goblet cells are modified epithelial
    cells that mucus produce into the
    surface of the airways and digestive
    system.
    • Airway – pseudostratified ciliated
    columnar epithelium
    • Goblet cells produce mucus to trap
    bacteria and other foreign
    substances in the inhaled air
    GOBLET (unicellular)
    • Goblet cells are modified epithelial
    cells that mucus produce into the
    surface of the airways and digestive
    system.
    • Intestine – goblet cells produce
    mucus to provide lubrication for the
    peristalsis of digested food

    SALIVARY GLAND (multicellular)

    GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM
    • They can be classified based on:
    • Absence or presence of Ducts
    o Exocrine versus
    Endocrine
    EXOCRINE VS. ENDOCRINE
    • Exocrine = secrete substances into
    ducts that open onto surfaces or
    lining epithelium
    • Endocrine = secrete substances
    (hormones) into blood and these
    glands are ductless
    GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM APOCRINE
    • They can be classified based on: • lose small portions of their cell
    body during secretion
    • Manner of secretion
    o Merocrine • mammary glands
    o Apocrine • ceruminous gland of the ear
    o Holocrine

    TYPES OF EXOCRINE GLANDS


    MEROCRINE HOLOCRINE
    • release watery, protein-rich fluid by • Entire cell lyses (breaks apart)
    exocytosis during secretion
    • salivary glands • Sebaceous glands of the skin
    • sweat glands • Meibomian glands of the
    • pancreas eyelids
    • MERO ako laway, MERO ako
    pawis
    • MERO ako papa
    SEROUS GLANDS
    • Produces enzymes or protein-rich
    fluid
    • Digestion of nutrients
    • Dark-stained

    MUCOUS GLANDS
    • Produces mucus
    o Light stained

    GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM
    • They can be classified based on:
    • Type of secretion
    o Serous – enzyme
    (dark stained)
    o Mucous- mucus
    GLANDULAR EPITHELIUM
    • They can be classified based on:
    • Type of morphology
    o Simple
    SIMPLE TUBULAR
    o Compound
    o Acinar/Alveolar • Colon or Large intestine
    o Tubular • Crypt of Lieberkuhn
    Simple Coiled Tubular = Sweat
    Glands
    SIMPLE BRANCHED TUBULAR GLAND

    SIMPLE BRANCHED ACINAR

    Simple Branched Tubular = Gastric


    Glands
    PaPa-Mamma Duo = SubSub Compound Tubuloacinar = Mixed
    Serous And Mucous

    Compound Acinar = SEROUS glands


    COMPOUND TUBULAR
