  • Embryology and Development of Salivary Gland 1
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 07, Issue 10, 2020 Embryology and development of salivary gland 1. Dr. Sangeetha Priya.P,Dr.N.Anitha, Dr.E.Rajesh, Dr.K.M.K.Masthan Professor, Department of Oral Pathology and Microbiology Sree Balaji Dental College and Hospital Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research ABSTRACT: Saliva is the mixed glandular secretion which constantly bathes the teeth and the oral mucosa. It is constituted by the secretions of the three paired major salivary glands; the parotid, submandibular and sublingual . Salivary glands are complex in nature. They could be either tubulo acinar, merocrine or exocrine glands secreting mainly saliva. Salivary gland is one of the main soft tissue structures in the maxillofacial area. This review article illustrates the processes that lead to the development,embryology of the salivary glands and how this relates to the adult anatomy. KEY WORDS: salivary gland embryology, salivary gland development, salivary gland anatomy INTRODUCTION: A gland consists of specialized type of cells, wherein they produce products which are used elsewhere in the body. Salivary glands are complex, tubulo acinar, exocrine or merocrine glands secreting mainly saliva. Saliva is the product of the major and minor salivary gland dispersed throughout the oral cavity. It is a complex mixture of organic, inorganic components and water, carrying out several functions. There are three pairs of major salivary glands namely parotid, sub mandibular and sublingual glands in addition to numerous minor salivary glands in the oral cavity1. Together these glands produce saliva, which contains digestive enzymes, antibodies, growth factors, and coating substances essential for eating, speaking, tasting, and oral hygiene2,3.

  • An Analysis of Benign Human Prostate Offers Insights Into the Mechanism
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN An analysis of benign human prostate ofers insights into the mechanism of apocrine secretion Received: 12 March 2018 Accepted: 22 February 2019 and the origin of prostasomes Published: xx xx xxxx Nigel J. Fullwood 1, Alan J. Lawlor2, Pierre L. Martin-Hirsch3, Shyam S. Matanhelia3 & Francis L. Martin 4 The structure and function of normal human prostate is still not fully understood. Herein, we concentrate on the diferent cell types present in normal prostate, describing some previously unreported types and provide evidence that prostasomes are primarily produced by apocrine secretion. Patients (n = 10) undergoing TURP were prospectively consented based on their having a low risk of harbouring CaP. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy was used to characterise cell types and modes of secretion. Zinc levels were determined using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry. Although merocrine secretory cells were noted, the majority of secretory cells appear to be apocrine; for the frst time, we clearly show high-resolution images of the stages of aposome secretion in human prostate. We also report a previously undescribed type of epithelial cell and the frst ultrastructural image of wrapping cells in human prostate stroma. The zinc levels in the tissues examined were uniformly high and X-ray microanalysis detected zinc in merocrine cells but not in prostasomes. We conclude that a signifcant proportion of prostasomes, possibly the majority, are generated via apocrine secretion. This fnding provides an explanation as to why so many large proteins, without a signal peptide sequence, are present in the prostatic fuid. Tere are many complications associated with the prostate from middle age onwards, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa).

  • Squamous Epithelium Are Thin, Which Allows for the Rapid Passage of Substances Through Them
    Chapter 2 1st Prof. Anatomy Arsalan (Lecturer Department of Pharmacy University of Peshawar) Tissue is an aggregation of similar cells and their products that perform same function. There are four principal types of tissues in the body: ❑ epithelial tissue: covers body surfaces, lines body cavities and ducts and forms glands ❑ connective tissue: binds, supports, and protects body parts ❑ muscle tissue: produce body and organ movements ❑ nervous tissue: initiates and transmits nerve impulses from one body part to another • Epithelial tissues cover body and organ surfaces, line body cavities and lumina and forms various glands • Derived from endoderm ,ectoderm, and mesoderm • composed of one or more layers of closely packed cells • Perform diverse functions of protection, absorption, excretion and secretion. Highly cellular with low extracellular matrix Polar – has an apical surface exposed to external environment or body cavity, basal layer attached to underlying connective tissue by basement membrane and lateral surfaces attached to each other by intercellular junctions Innervated Avascular – almost all epithelia are devoid of blood vessels, obtain nutrients by diffusion High regeneration capacity Protection: Selective permeability: in GIT facilitate absorption, in kidney facilitate filtration, in lungs facilitate diffusion. Secretions: glandular epithelium form linings of various glands, involved in secretions. Sensations: contain some nerve endings to detect changes in the external environment at their surface Epithelium rests on connective tissue. Between the epithelium and connective tissue is present the basement membrane which is extracellular matrix made up of protein fibers and carbohydrates. Basement membrane attach epithelium to connective tissue and also regulate movement of material between epithelium and connective tissue Epithelial cells are bound together by specialized connections in the plasma membranes called intercellular junctions .

Gesase1 and Y. Satoh2 1Department of Anatomy/Histology, Muhimbili University College of Health Sciences, Dar es salaam, Tanzania and 2Department of Histology, School of Medicine, Iwate Medical University, Morioka, Japan Summary. Cell secretion is an important physiological Introduction process that ensures smooth metabolic activities, tissue repair and growth and immunological functions in the Apocrine secretion occurs when secretory process is body. It occurs when the intracellular secretory materials accompanied with loss of part of the cell cytoplasm (Fig. are released to the exterior; these may be in the form of 1). The secretory materials may be contained in the lipids, protein or mucous and may travel through a duct secretory vesicles or dissolved in the cytoplasm and system or via blood to reach the target organ. To date during secretion they are released as cytoplasmic three types of secretory mechanisms have been fragments into the glandular lumen or interstitial space characterized, they include apocrine, holocrine and (Roy et al., 1978; Agnew et al., 1980; Ream and exocytosis. Apocrine secretion occurs when the release Principato, 1981; Messelt, 1982; Eggli et al., 1991; of secretory materials is accompanied with loss of part Gesase et al. 1996).

  • Medical Biology Epithelial Tissue
    Medical Biology Epithelial Tissue Lec: 4 Dr. Sumaiah Tissues are cells that are similar in structure and perform a common related function. There are four types of tissues: Epithelial tissue Connective tissue Muscle tissue Nerve tissue Tissues are organized into organs, most organs containing all 4 types of tissue. Epithelial tissue is a sheet of cells that covers a body surface or lines a body cavity. Two forms occur in the human body: 1.Covering and lining epithelium: forms the outer layer of the skin, lines open cavities of the digestive and respiratory systems, covers the walls of organs of the closed ventral body cavity. 2.Glandular epithelium: surrounds glands within the body. Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, selective absorption, protection, transcellular transport, and sensing Epithelial layers contain no blood vessels, so they must receive nourishment via diffusion of substances from the underlying connective tissue, through the basement membrane. Cell junctions are well-employed in epithelial tissues. Characteristics of epithelial tissue: 1- Polarity: all epithelia have an apical surface and a lower attached basal surface that differ in structure and function. Most apical surfaces have microvilli (small extensions of the plasma membrane) that increase surface area. For instance, in epithelia that absorb or secrete substances, the microvilli are extremely dense giving the cells a fuzzy appearance called a brush border. Examples of this would include epithelia lining the intestine and kidney tubules. Other epithelia have motile cilia (hair like projections) that push substances along their free surface. Next to the basal surface is the basal lamina (thin supporting sheet).
