To review:
The mode of glandular secretion when the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), and membrane components are present.
Introduction:
The different modes of glandular secretion include the eccrine (merocrine), apocrine, and holocrine secretion. In the merocrine secretion, the cell is not destroyed and remains intact. Rather, the secretory product is packaged into secretory vesicles and is released onto surface of the cell through exocytosis. For example, secretions from globlet cells in the intestine. During the apocrine secretions, only the apical portion of the cell’s cytoplasm is shed off to release secretory product. For example, secretions from lactiferous cells of the mammary glands.

- Define each of these terms: a freely permeable membrane, an impermeable membrane, and a selectively permeable membrane. During your next exam, you may begin to sweat a solution of sodium, chloride, and water, but not proteins, sugars, or nucleotides.

- The trans epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) is a characteristic property of an epithelium. Which of the following statements best describes the TEER? a.) A high trans epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) is an indicator of a leaky epithelium in which paracellular diffusion of solute is likely to be high b.) A high trans epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) is an indicator of a tight attachment between the epithelium and the basement membrane in which diffusion of solute across the basolateral surface is likely to be low c.) A high trans epithelial electrical resistance (TEER) is an indicator of a tight epithelium in which paracellular diffusion of solute is likely to be lowarrow_forwardMatch the following to their proper description (answers may be used more than once). Exocrine glands Endocrine glands Goblet cells Goblet cells Merocrine secretion Holocrine secretion Apocrine secretion Endocrine glands Mucus Are unicellular glands. Have lost connection with the surface epithelium. Involves exocytosis of proteins or glycoproteins. Involves the discharge of secretory product with some cytoplasm and plasmalemma. Involves the disruption and shedding of the whole cell after being filled with secretory product. Is a hydrated form of the hydrophilic glycoproteins called mucins.

- all the following statements which relate to apical surface modifications(brush border) of epithelial cells are true except. * these are anchored in a dense mat of microfilaments in the apical cytoplasm called the terminal, lateral web. The apical surface of cells in intestine is usually covered with microvilli. the microfilaments can contract, By interacting with cytoplasmic myosin, then caused the shortening of the microvilli. cores of microvilli are composed of parallel actin microfilaments.arrow_forwarda.
