short presentation about Glandular Epithelium

1. Glandular Epithelium
Prepared by : Saleh Abduraboh

2. Glandular Epithelium
• Is a special type of epithelium makes up the
glands in body.
• Single or Group of cells.
• Secrets enzymes, hormones, fats or mucous.
• Its secretions are required by other tissue.

3. The formation of glands

4. Endocrine glands
• Ductless (no duct system).
• Release internally.
• Secret hormones.
• Multicellular with exception Paracrine glands.

5. Endocrine glands

6. Exocrine glands
• Have duct system.
• Release internally or externally.
• Secret ear-wax, digestive enzymes
and saliva.
• Multicellular or unicellular.

7. Exocrine glands secretions
watery waxy fatty cellular serous mucous mixed
sweat Gl Oil Gl Salivary glands
External ear Ovary & testis

8. Glandular classification
According to :
• Presence and absence of ducts.
• Number of secretory cells.
• Nature of secretion.
• Mode of secretion.
• Shape of secretory units & Arrangement of
Duct (branching in exocrine structure).

9. 1. Presence and absence of ducts

10. Salivary gland (Exocrine)

11. Thyroid gland (Endocrine)

12. Pancreas gland (Mixed)

13. 2. Number of secretory cells

14. First: Unicellular
Exocrine (ex: Goblet cells)

15. First: Unicellular
Endocrine (ex: Enteroendocrine cells)

16. Second: Multicellular
Exocrine (ex: Endometrial glands)

17. Second: Multicellular
Endocrine (ex: Thyroid gland)

18. 3. Nature of secretion

19. 4. Mode of secretion

20. 5. Shape of secretory units &
Arrangement of Duct

21. Gland as a compact organ
