Epithelial tissue
Usually consists of two layers of cells in the shape of a cube, and serves as a reinforcement of
the lumen wall. Its location in the sweat glands, pancreas and saliva.
7 Transitional Cubodial Epithelium
cell surfaces change the shape of the cuboid flattened (squamous), for example in the bladder which is coated
by a transitional epithelium.
8 Glandular Epithelium
A gland is a structure made up of one or more cells modified to synthesize and secrete chemical
substances. Most glands consist of groups of epithelial cells
ENDOCRINE GLANDS
The secretions of endocrine glands are called hormones. Hormones are released into the interstitial
fluid, diffused into the bloodstream, and delivered to targets, in other words, cells that have receptors
to bind the hormones. The endocrine system is part of a major regulatory system coordinating the
regulation and integration of body responses. A few examples of endocrine glands include the
anterior pituitary, thymus, adrenal cortex, and gonads.
EXOCRINE GLANDS
Exocrine glands release their contents through a duct that leads to the epithelial surface. Mucous,
sweat, saliva, and breast milk are all examples of secretions from exocrine glands. They are all
discharged through tubular ducts. Secretions into the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract, technically
outside of the body, are of the exocrine category.
