Lacrimal Gland Lacrimal glands are well-developed, compound tubuloalveolar glands of the serous type, located in the superior temporal region of the orbit. Each gland consists of several separate glandular units that empty into the conjunctival sac via 6 to 12 ducts. The secretory units consist of tall columnar cells with large, pale secretory granules. Numerous myoepithelial cells lie between the bases of the secretory cells and their basal lamina. The ducts are lined at first by simple cuboidal epithelium, which becomes stratified columnar in the larger ducts. Small accessory lacrimal glands can occur in the inner surface of the eyelid. Accessory lacrimals occur in the fornix of the conjunctiva (glands of Krause) and just above the tarsal plate (glands of Wolfring). Secretions of the lacrimal gland moisten, lubricate, and flush the anterior surface of the eye and the interior of the eyelids. Excess tears collect at a medial expansion of the conjunctival sac, which is drained by the lacrimal duct to a lacrimal sac at the medial corner of each eye. The lacrimal duct is lined by stratified squamous epithelium. The lacrimal sac and the nasolacrimal duct, which drains the sac into the inferior meatus of the nasal cavity, are lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium. The remainder of their walls consists of dense connective tissue. The tear film ensures an optimal refractive surface and provides a mechanical and antimicrobial barrier on the corneal surface. The lipid component originates from Meibomian glands and forms the superficial layer of the tear film. The aqueous component contains water, electrolytes, a large variety of proteins, peptides and glycoproteins (mucins) secreted by the lacrimal glands. In addition, the tear film receives antimicrobial proteins produced by the glands of Moll. ©William J. Krause.

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.

Squamous Epithelium in the Human Thyroid Gland
J Clin Pathol: first published as 10.1136/jcp.19.4.384 on 1 July 1966. Downloaded from J. clin. Path. (1966), 19, 384. Squamous epithelium in the human thyroid gland J. N. HARCOURT-WEBSTER1 From the Department ofPathology, University ofEdinburgh SYNOPSIS Four cases are reported in each of which squamous epithelium was an incidental finding in surgically excised thyroid gland tissue. The occasional thyroid cyst lined throughout by squamous cells probably represents a persistent ultimo-branchial body, but the evidence indicates that the usual source of such cells in this gland is metaplasia of the follicular epithelium. An explanation is offered for the infrequency of this transformation in the thyroid, despite the frequent occurrence of the changes which predispose to epithelial metaplasia at other sites. There is no evidence to suggest that squamous cells arising in this gland by either of these means have any sinister significance. Squamous epithelium was first described in a human iodine uptake studies were normal but serological anti- thyroid gland by Nicholson (1922); he attributed body tests were positive (ADT: +ve on second day; this finding to metaplasia of the follicular epithelium TCH: 1/250,000; CFT: 1/250).

Mixed Type Adrenal Cyst: a Case Report
Eastern Journal of Medicine 20 (2015) 163-166 Case Report Mixed type adrenal cyst: A case report Gulay Buluta,*, Mehmet Deniz Bulutb, Deniz Yilmaza, Sebahattin Celikc, Nursen Toprakb aDepartment of Pathology, Yuzuncu Yil University Faculty of Medicine, Van, Turkey bDepartment of Radiology, Van Research and Training Hospital, Van, Turkey cDepartment of General Surgery, Van Research and Training Hospital, Van, Turkey Abstract. Adrenal cysts are rare lesions that usually progress asymptomatically. They are often determined post- mortem. Our case was a 50-year old-male who had presented to our clinic with upper right quadrant pain. The computed tomography demonstrated a cystic mass in the adrenal gland. No abnormalities were determined in the laboratory tests. According to the histopathological and immunohistochemical examination, the cyst was evaluated as a mixed-type adrenal cyst, the wall of which was covered with endothelium, mesothelium and cubic epithelium. We believed that the case was worth presenting, since it was the first diagnosed mixed-type adrenal cyst in the literature.

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 .

HISTOLOGY DRAWINGS created by Dr Carol Lazer during the period 2000-2005 INTRODUCTION The first pages illustrate introductory concepts for those new to microscopy as well as definitions of commonly used histology terms. The drawings of histology images were originally designed to complement the histology component of the first year Medical course run prior to 2004. They are sketches from selected slides used in class from the teaching slide set. These labelled diagrams should closely follow the current Science courses in histology, anatomy and embryology and complement the virtual microscopy used in the current Medical course. © Dr Carol Lazer, April 2005 STEREOLOGY: SLICING A 3-D OBJECT SIMPLE TUBE CROSS SECTION = TRANSVERSE SECTION (XS) (TS) OBLIQUE SECTION 3-D LONGITUDINAL SECTION (LS) 2-D BENDING AND BRANCHING TUBE branch off a tube 2 sections from 2 tubes cut at different angles section at the beginning 3-D 2-D of a branch 3 sections from one tube 1 section and the grazed wall of a tube en face view = as seen from above COMPLEX STRUCTURE (gland) COMPOUND ( = branched ducts) ACINAR ( = bunches of secretory cells) GLAND duct (XS =TS) acinus (cluster of cells) (TS) duct and acinus (LS) 3-D 2-D Do microscope images of 2-D slices represent a single plane of section of a 3-D structure?

Exocrine Glands of the Ant Myrmoteras Iriodum Johan BILLEN1, Tine MANDONX1, Rosli HASHIM2 and Fuminori ITO3 1Zoological Institut
Exocrine glands of the ant Myrmoteras iriodum Johan BILLEN1, Tine MANDONX1, Rosli HASHIM2 and Fuminori ITO3 1Zoological Institute, University of Leuven, Leuven, Belgium; 2Institute of Biological Science, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; and 3Faculty of Agriculture, Kagawa University, Miki, Japan Correspondence: Johan Billen, K.U.Leuven, Zoological Institute, Naamsestraat 59, box 2466, B-3000 Leuven, Belgium. Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper describes the morphological characteristics of 9 major exocrine glands in workers of the formicine ant Myrmoteras iriodum. The elongate mandibles reveal along their entire length a conspicuous intramandibular gland, that contains both class-1 and class-3 secretory cells. The mandibular glands show a peculiar appearance of their secretory cells with a branched end apparatus, which is unusual for ants. The other major glands (pro- and postpharyngeal gland, infrabuccal cavity gland, labial gland, metapleural gland, venom gland and Dufour gland) show the common features for formicine ants. The precise function of the glands could not yet be experimentally demonstrated, and to clarify this will depend on the availability of live material of these enigmatic ants in future. Key word: Formicidae, intramandibular gland, mandibular gland, metapleural gland, venom gland. INTRODUCTION Ants exist in various sizes and shapes, and many species are intensively studied (Hölldobler & Wilson 1990). One of the most remarkable and enigmatic genera is the tropical Asian Myrmoteras Forel. These formicine species are characterized by their extremely big eyes and very long and slender mandibles, that can be held open at 280 degrees during foraging, which is the record value so far recorded among the ants (Fig.
