Glands Continued

If it walks like a duct and acts like a duct, it's probably a gland

*General Hints and Tips:
Never, ever, ever, ever ever come to this class without at least having skimmed the reading.  There are too many new terms that are extremely important for discerning structures that you will never have time to learn on the fly.  But a simple review or reading before the lecture allows for the most use of your microscope time.  In addition, ducts and glands were the hardest section on the practical for me.  There is a lot of information packed into the very early section and it will be beneficial later on when we move to organs.  Finally, for those die hard histologists, knowing the stains and what they stain for can be vital in terms of identification.*

Merocrine- No cytoplasm lost, exocytosis
Apoocrine- Some cytoplasm lost, plasma membrane buds
Holocrine- Whole cell lost
