Define a gland as an epithelial cell or aggregate of cells specialised for secretion. 2. Classify glandular tissue, describing the meaning of the following terms: Exocrine or endocrine Merocrine, apocrine or holocrine. 3. Describe the above mechanisms of secretion. Glandular Tissue 4 . describe the mechanisms of endocytosis. 5. describe how endocytosis and secretion combine to give transepithelial transport. 6. explain the mechanism and importance of the glycosylation of newly synthesised proteins in the Golgi apparatus. 7. describe the role of secretions in cell functions (e.g. in communication). 8. describe simple mechanisms of control of secretion (e.g. nervous, endocrine). Glandular Tissue Glandular Epithelium: Glandular epithelium is more complex and varied than the epithelial cells which cover surfaces or line tubules or vessels. A gland is a single cell or a mass of epithelial cells adapted for secretion. Classification of Glands • By destination • By structure • By nature of the secretion • By the method of discharge By destination 1. Exocrine glands 2. Endocrine glands: • ductless glands • Secretion • Cells https://youtu.be/GUi84E6lUiY Adrenal gland Thyroid gland Exocrine glands secrete into ducts or directly onto a free surface. Their secretions include mucus, sweat, oil, ear wax and digestive enzymes. EXO = out side and crine = secret Examples include :- pancreas , stomach , sweat glands , salivary glands , mammary glands , sebaceous glands , etc . Endocrine glands - called “ductless glands” discharge their secretions into the intracellular fluid, where it diffuses into the blood stream. These secretions are hormones, or chemical messengers, which regulate many body functions. ee Examples include :- Pituitary gland ,thyroid gland,adrenal gland,parathyroideees exe 3. Mixed gland (an exocrine and endocrine gland) The Pancreas. Formation of glands from covering epithelia. During fetal development epithelial cells proliferate and penetrate the underlying connective tissue. They may-or may not-maintain a connection with the surface epithelium. When the connection is maintained, exocrine glands are formed; with the connection lost, endocrine glands are formed. Exocrine glands secrete to the body surface or gut via duct systems formed from the epithelial connection. Formation of glands from covering epithelia. The cells of endocrine glands, which secrete hormone) can be arranged in cords or in follicles with lumens for storing the secretory product. From either the cords or follicles of endocrine cells, the secretory product is released outside the cells and picked up by the blood vessels for distribution throughout the body. General structure of exocrine glands. • Exocrine glands by definition have ducts that lead to an organ or body surface. • Inside the gland the duct runs through connecting septa and branches repeatedly, until its smallest branches end in the secretory portions of the gland. Classification by Structure Secretory part: unicellular / multicellular acinar (alveolar) / tubular coiled / branched * Parotid gland: branched Duct system: 1. Simple gland (single duct) 2. Complex gland (branched ducts) Branching ducts: Main ↓ interlobular ↓ Intralobular ↓ Intercalary Salivary gland 1-Exocrine glands: Structural classification of exocrine glands: 1) unicellular glands 2) multicellular glands ↓ Goblet cell https://youtu.be/cdqLLa81-eE Salivary gland Multicelular gland: composed of : 1) An epithelial lined duct 2) A secretory unit called the acinus 3) Interstitial connective tissue Classification by method of secretion: Merocrine (exocytosis ) • secretion is released by exocytosis of secretory granules (pancreas, parotid gland, protein component of milk from mammary gland). Apocrine (pinch of ) • apical portion of cell along with secretory product is pinched off (lipid component of milk from the mammary gland). Holocrine (rupture) • entire cell is shed along with secretory product (sebaceous glands). https://youtu.be/E5aJTpiwakI • Classification by nature of secretion: Ex: Salivary glands • Classification by nature of secretion: mucous glands Secretion: contains mucopolysaccharides which collects in the apical part of cell. Cytoplasm: stain very lightly with H/E stain Nuclei: basally placed & flattened (mucoid pushes the nuclei). serous glands Secretion: thin, watery, rich in enzymes, protein in nature. Cytoplasm: granular stain darkly & rich in rER. Nuclei: rounded & basally placed. muco-serous or mixed gland Contain both serous & mucous secretory units. Sometimes serous cells form crescentic caps on mucous acini called as serous demilunes. Sero-mucous gland Mixed gland According to above 4 criteria of classifications ,classify parotid gland? Endocytosis • Engulfing • Opposite of exocytosis (merocrine secretion) • Endo- & Exo-cytosis (Transepithelial Transport) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBCDxPvu4F0&feature=yo utu.be Transepithelial Transport • material endocytosed at one surface • transport vesicle shuttles across cytoplasm • material exocytosed at opposite surface Golgi Apparatus: Structure Stack of disc-shaped cisternae • One side of discs are flattened; other concave • Discs have swellings at their edges • Distal swellings pinch off as migratory Golgi Vacuoles https://youtu.be/3H5dSPQNlX8 Golgy apparatus Golgi Apparatus: Function • Packaging through condensation of contents • Transport • Adding sugars to proteins and lipids (Glycosylation) Golgi Product Destinations • Majority extruded in secretory vesicles • Some retained for use in the cells (e.g. lysosomes) • Some enters the plasma membrane (Glycocalyx) Glycosylation & Specificity • Branching sugars offer complex shapes for specific interactions in the glycocalyx • Destruction of this layer by enzymes alters many specificity based properties of cells: adhesion to substrates & neighboring cells mobility of cells communication with neighboring cells contact inhibition of movement and division Control of Secretion • Nervous • Endocrine control • Neuro-endocrine control • Negative feedback chemical mechanism Q:Give one or more examples of glands for each type of above controls?

  • Histology -2Nd Stage Dr. Abeer.C.Yousif
    Dr. Abeer.c.Yousif Histology -2nd stage What is histology? Histology is the science of microscopic anatomy of cells and tissues, in Greek language Histo= tissue and logos = study and it's tightly bounded to molecular biology, physiology, immunology and other basic sciences. Tissue: A group of cells similar in structure, function and origin. In tissue cells may be dissimilar in structure and functions but they are always similar in origin. Classification of tissues: despite the variations in the body the tissues are classified into four basic types: 1. Epithelium (epithelial tissue) covers body surfaces, line body cavities, and forms glands. 2. Connective tissue underlies or supports the other three basic tissues, both structurally and functionally. 3. Muscle tissue is made up of contractile cells and is responsible for movement. 4. Nerve tissue receives, transmits, and integrates information from outside and inside the body to control the activities of the body. Epithelium General Characterizes of epithelial tissues: 1. Cells are closed to each other and tend to form junctions 2. Little or non-intracellular material between intracellular space. 3. Cell shape and number of layers correlate with the function of the epithelium. 4. Form the boundary between external environment and body tissues. 5. Cell showed polarity 6. Does not contain blood vesicle (vascularity). 7. Mitotically active. 8. Rest on basement membrane (basal lamina). 9. Regeneration: because epithelial tissue is continually damage or lost. 10. Free surface: epithelial tissue always has apical surface or a free adage.

BULLETIN OF THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH Volume 27 June, 1937 No. 7 A Comparative Study of Certain Goblet Cells BY DAVID T. JONES -— — BIOLOGICAL SERIES, Vol. Ill, No. 6 PUBLISHED BY THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH SALT LAKE CITY A Comparative Study of Certain Goblet Cells B y D a v i d T. J o n e s , University of Utah The origin of the primordial droplets has been rightly given the primary place in the study of secretion. Bowen has limited the term secretion to the actual synthesis of these droplets from cytoplasmic materials, which limitation we shall accept. The secondary problems in this field concern chieflly extrusion or storage of these elaborated secretions. While we shall review the literature concerning goblet cells in both fields, our contributions will lie for the most part in the second­ ary field. The molluscan material used in this study is from several hund­ red slides made by the author. The material on the spiny dogfish em­ bryo is from a study of some forty slides made in 1931 by students at the University of Utah, which chanced to show the features concerned remarkably well. Other slides from various sources have been used. Methods of preparation for the first have already been given in the author’s 1935 paper. In this study the author has appreciated the facilities of the Zoology Departments of both Utah and Indiana uni­ versities and is indebted to the teaching staff at both institutions.

There is lack information related to the anatomical structure of their major salivary glands. The study aims to identify the anatomical structures and types of mucopolysaccharides produced by the major salivary glands of Sunda porcupine. Four tissue samplesof major salivary glands of Sunda porcupine were processed for paraffin method and analyzed by Hematoxylin-Eosin, Alcian Blue-Periodic Acid Schiff, and lectin histochemistry for saphora japonica agglutinin and wheat germ agglutinin. The parotid gland found in the preauricular region and along the posterior surface of the mandible, while the submandibular and sublingual glands were located on the floor of the mouth posterior to each mandibular canine. The parotid gland was divided into two lobules, each composed by different types of acini in a separate lobulation. HE staining showed that parotid gland looks unique because in the anterior lobe, the acini are dominated by serous cell- type, while in posterior lobe are composed by mixed of serous and mucous cell-types. The acini of submandibular gland consist of serous cells-type, but sublingual gland acini covered by mucous cell-type.

  • Specific Expression of Human Intelectin-1 in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma and Gastrointestinal Goblet Cells
    Specific Expression of Human Intelectin-1 in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma and Gastrointestinal Goblet Cells Kota Washimi1, Tomoyuki Yokose1, Makiko Yamashita2, Taihei Kageyama2, Katsuo Suzuki2, Mitsuyo Yoshihara3, Yohei Miyagi3, Hiroyuki Hayashi4, Shoutaro Tsuji2* 1 Department of Pathology, Kanagawa Cancer Center, Yokohama, Japan, 2 Molecular Diagnostic Project, Kanagawa Cancer Center Research Institute, Yokohama, Japan, 3 Division of Molecular Pathology and Genetics, Kanagawa Cancer Center Research Institute, Yokohama, Japan, 4 Department of Pathology, Yokohama Municipal Citizen’s Hospital, Yokohama, Japan Abstract Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a fatal tumor. It is often hard to discriminate MPM from metastatic tumors of other types because currently, there are no reliable immunopathological markers for MPM. MPM is differentially diagnosed by some immunohistochemical tests on pathology specimens. In the present study, we investigated the expression of intelectin-1, a new mesothelioma marker, in normal tissues in the whole body and in many cancers, including MPM, by immunohistochemical analysis. We found that in normal tissues, human intelectin-1 was mainly secreted from gastrointestinal goblet cells along with mucus into the intestinal lumen, and it was also expressed, to a lesser extent, in mesothelial cells and urinary epithelial cells. Eighty-eight percent of epithelioid-type MPMs expressed intelectin-1, whereas sarcomatoid-type MPMs, biphasic MPMs, and poorly differentiated MPMs were rarely positive for intelectin-1. Intelectin-1 was not expressed in other cancers, except in mucus-producing adenocarcinoma. These results suggest that intelectin-1 is a better marker for epithelioid-type MPM than other mesothelioma markers because of its specificity and the simplicity of pathological assessment. Pleural intelectin-1 could be a useful diagnostic marker for MPM with applications in histopathological identification of MPM.
