, Week 4 Discussion: Histology and Tissue Types 2


Question:

 Classify the major exocrine glands with respect to their structure, their modes of

secretion, and give clear examples of where each class of gland would be found in the

human body.

Answer:

A gland is a functional unit of cells that work together to create and secrete these substances.

Exocrine glands are comprised of an acinus and a duct with different cell types, respectively and

secrete substances into a ductal system to an epithelial surface.

Anatomy of exocrine system glands includes:

 Acinus: Tiny sacs containing cells of exocrine system secretions that the duct hasn’t yet

released. An acinus may house many different types of cells depending on the type of

secretion the duct is responsible for.

 Duct: Passageway that transports cell secretions to the inner surfaces of organs

throughout your body.

Exocrine secretions form in the acinus, a small cluster of cells at the origination of glandular

ducts. Exocrine glands subclassify into subtypes based on the method of secretion, the compound

produced, or the shape of the gland. While the duct functions primarily to transport glandular

secretions, the acinus is responsible for the production of glandular secretions.

The function of each depends on the organ in your body they’re associated with. The main

purpose of all exocrine glands is to make and release substances to assist your body in some way.

They help the body:

 Digest food.

 Absorb nutrients.
