Frequency Vs. Interval Frequency vs. Interval • Milking Frequency – 2 times/day (2X) or 3 times/day (3X) • Milking Interval – 12 hours, 8 hours, etc. • How often do cows want to be milked? Frequency vs. Interval What are the advantages and disadvantages of more frequent milkings? Chemotactic agents: attract PMN into tissues & milk! • Alveoli • Basic milk-producing unit • Lined with epithelial cells • Phagocyte • Cell that engulfs and absorbs bacteria • PMN • Polymorphonuclear neutrophil • First line of defense against invading pathogens during mastitis • Majority cell type accounting for SCC • Macrophages, lymphocytes • Chemotaxis • Movement of an organism in response to a chemical stimulus • Somatic cells and bacteria move according to chemicals in their environment • Where and why would they be moving? • What is a common example of chemotaxis unrelated to milk secretion? Altered Composition During Mastitis Somatic cell counts (SCC) Na, Cl, whey protein (e.g., serum albumin, Ig) lactose, casein, K, α-lactalbumin Altered Composition During Mastitis • Lactose • Synthesis is decreased • Casein • Proteolysis • Proteolytic enzymes from leukocytes and bacteria • Milk fat • Susceptibility of milk fat globule membranes to the action of lipases, resulting in breakdown of triglycerides. Altered Composition During Mastitis • Na+, Cl-, K+ • Electrical potential across apical membrane disrupted • This is the basis of the electrical conductivity methods of detecting mastitis • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-imDC1txWw • Polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs) • Mastitis causes chemotaxis of the cells into the tissue and disruption of epithelial tight junctions • This is the basis of many mastitis detection methods • Albumin, immunoglobulins • Enter the milk via disrupted tight junctional complexes PHYLOGENY & ONTOGENY Phylogeny – the evolutionary development of any animal species (related to mammary gland development) Class Mammalia: Monotremes I.

  • 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).

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.
