OBJECTIVES - As a result of attending the audiovisual presentations, reading/viewing the textbook, atlas and notes, the VSMI should understand and be able to:

  1. Describe the two major types of glands: exocrine and endocrine glands.
  2. Describe the five different morphological criteria that are utilized to classify glandular epithelium.
  3. Give and example of unicellular gland in man.
  4. Compare and contrast mucous secreting cells and serous secreting cells in terms of their secretions and cellular morphology.
  5. Describe characteristics and cellular morphology of mucous and serous cells.
  6. Discuss the various mechanisms of secretion by epithelial glands and be able to give an example of merocrine, apocrine, and holocrine glands.
  7. Describe and classify exocrine glands according to the shape of their secretory units and the arrangement duct system.
  8. Be able to describe the various types of ducts seen within an exocrine gland’s duct system. Identify which part of the duct system alters the secretion of the gland.
  9. Identify the location of myoepithelial cells and understand their function.
  10. Distinguish between the various salivary glands: parotid, submandibular, and sublingual glands based upon the percentage of serous and mucous cells present in these glands.
  11. Distinguish between the parotid gland and the exocrine component of the pancreas?
  12. Define serous demilunes, centroacinar cells, zymogen granules, and myoepithelial cells.
