1. Holocrine Glands entire cells are discharged as secretion (sebaceous glands)
2. Merocrine secrete product through free surface, no loss of cytoplasm/cell
glands
3. Apocrine Glands secrete small amounts of cytoplasm/cell with secretory product (mammary
glands)
4. unicellular goblet cells
5. Multicellular tubular, alveolar/acinus
6. Serous secretion clear, watery with protein
7. Mucous secre- cloudy, mucin (glycoproteins) with water
tion
8. Compound tubu- alveolar merocrine glands
larv
9. intercalated duct he duct which is attached to an acinus or terminal part of the gland
10. interlobar septa The connective tissue partitions between lobes are
11. interlobular sep- he connective tissue partitions between lobules
ta
12. Intercalated hollow tube lined with simple cuboidal epithelium flat cells that do not produce
ducts secretion only serve as passageway for saliva
13. Striated ducts connected to intercalated duct lined with simple columnar epithelium cells which
may have basal striation(mitochondria). Serves as passageway for saliva and
modifies by resorbing and excreting electrolytes

14. Excretory/Secre- starts as pseudostratified columnar epithelium and transforms to stratified
tory ducts cuboidal then ends as stratified squamous epithelium, passageway for saliva
15. hypoplasia pitting of enamel because of poor matrix formation (less than normal amount of
enamel
16. Dental fluorosis mottled enamel, children exposed to more than 2ppm for 1st 8 years. Fluoride
interferes with ameloblasts function
17. Abrasion abnormal wear cause by friction due to excessive tooth brushing or use of abrasive
toothpastes.
18. Erosion tooth structure lost through chemical means such as acid from acid reflux, acidic
foods/drinks or vomiting
19. Abfraction loss of tooth structure (wedge-shaped lesions) at the cervical neck area of teeth
from transmission of forces during occlusion and mastication. Caused by com-
pressive and tensile forces during tooth flexure.
20. What is aci- refers to any cluster of cells
nus/acini?
21. What kind of consists of a single layer of cuboidal epithelial cells
epithelium sur-
rounds the aci-
nus?
