- In this video we look at the different types of glands in the body. We discuss the structure of glands and how they are classified.
Transcript/notes
Glands are multicellular organs or individual cells that secrete substances for use in the body. Most glands are made up of epithelial tissue and their secretions include mucin, hormones, electrolytes, enzymes and waste products.
Glands can be divided into 2 groups, endocrine glands and exocrine glands.
Endocrine glands secrete their products, mainly hormones, directly into the blood stream or interstitial fluid that surrounds cells. Some endocrine glands include the adrenal, thyroid and pituitary glands.
Exocrine glands typically secrete their products into a duct or onto a surface, such as the skin, not into the bloodstream. Exocrine glands can be unicellular or multicellular. Unicellular exocrine glands do not contain ducts, and the mulicellular glands do contain a duct system.
An example of a unicellular exocrine gland is the goblet cell, which can be found in epithelial tissue and secretes mucin which forms a mucus layer coating certain tissue areas, such as the passageway in the trachea in the respiratory system.
Multicellular exocrine glands can be classified in 2 different ways, by their form, or by their secretion method.
Let’s look at classification by form. There are 2 different forms, simple glands which have a single duct, and compound glands which have branching ducts. There are also 2 different forms of the sectetory portion of the gland, tubular, where the diameter of the duct and secretory portion are similar and acinar or alveolar, where the secretory portion of the gland forms a sac like shape.
So, there are simple straight tubular, coiled tubular, simple branched tubular which still has only one duct making it a simple gland, and simple acinar, and simple branched acinar, again, only 1 duct.
And for compound glands with more than one duct, there are compound tubular, compound acinar and compound tubuloacinar with both tubular and acinar regions.
Now for classification by secretion method, in which there are 3 basic types; merocrine, apocrine and holocrine.
Merocrine glands release their secretions through the process of exocytosis where secretory vesicles are released through the plasma membrane of the cell, without damaging the cell itself. The salivary glands are an example of merocrine glands.
Apocrine glands actually pinch off a portion of the cell to release their secretory products. The cell repairs itself and continues to release its products in the same manner. Mammary and some sweat glands are examples of apocrine glands.
The third type is holocrine glands. In holocrine glands cells accumulate a secretory product and the entire cell ruptures to release the product. The ruptured cells are replaced by other epithelial cells through cell division. Some examples of holocrine glands. Examples of holocrine glands include certain glands in the skin and in the eyelids.
We will cover the structure and functions of individual glands in future videos.

This video helped alot and saved 4 hours of staring at a piece of paper that doesn't make sense!
Great to hear the video helped ya sara john.
Yes u saved our time Thank u soo much
It always makes sense buddy
Wow,a 3-minute video made me understand a 3-hour lecture,thank YOU!!
Great video! Really is a lot more clear than even my Instructor's lesson. Thanks very much, I will share with my classmates!
Explained everything in so easy manner. This one helped me a lot in understanding better
I was very confused in merocrine but this video cleared everything
Thank you so much ❤
Ight, it took 3 minutes for me to fall in love with this fella's video format.
Great, concise, comprehensive, straightforward thank you!
You are welcome my friend.
Much better than staring at a piece of paper for hours, thanks!!
You are welcome my friend, and thanks for watching.
excellent video that quickly describes what these glands are. Was studying and couldn't understand from my course notebook at all, this video saved me from overthinking and misunderstanding the roles and actions of these glands !!!
You don't know how much I need this. Thank you for this video!
that was amazing , I've been struggling since 5 hours
but this is so simple thank you
love your videos, short, simple and easy to understand! Thank you!!!!!
Life saver. Thank you!

Really great video! Your pronunciation is different than what I'm used to, but great concise information overall.
very useful.thankyou
Precised and clear explanation..... Helped me a lot 😇..... Thank you for all your efforts ❤️
I am really appreciated your time and efforts to make body science easier for us. Many thanks! : )
Thanks Ahmed.
This is a God-sent video. Thank you so much
This is very helpful 🥺, thank you!🥲🌷🌷
Oh my god you just saved me so much time thank you!
Best lecture ever
thank you so much wasted lots of time on other videos This was much clearer

this video was amazing and helped me a lot ! thanks :)
*Asobi Asobase* Brought me here
Thanks a lot
Thank youuuuu
Very helpful and short you are the best please keep it up ❤️
So when I sweat my cells could be pinching themselves just for me to do that? Well, you learn new facts every day!
Thank you for this video!

Thanks Frenzy Light.
this video helped so much, thank you!
Thanks for the video
Very helpful
Your video the best ↗️↗️
شكراً جدًا أخيرًا توضح لي الفرق بين Apocrine and Holocrine
Holcrine الخليه بتنفجر وبتطلع secretion
But apocrine الخليه بتشيل cap بتاعها من فوق عشان secretion
ده ألي فهمته من الفيديو
Helpful 🥰
Thank you u made it look so simple
Thank you. Great video!
Million thnks to this channel. It's really awesome and benefit video especially for a medical student..
Keep making a better, interesting and an awesome one!! ~
My textbook made zero sense, this made it all clear.
ثانكيو ياخي 😔💗💗
Love Dude❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank
how can you notice the difference between simple branched acinar and compound acinar just by looking at them
Zillion thanks to you brother
Thanks for you.....Greetings from Jordan🖤🖤
This is very good Mr 🍺
Soo usefulll😍
Great thank u very much
very good explanation ✅✅
It was really very useful,
thank you so much!!!
What's up dude🤩 ur awesome
Thanks a lot more than lot💟
thank you! cleared up a lot of things, question though: what's the difference between branched and compound glands?
Hey Nouf Almushayt, the main difference is that in simple branched glands the duct portion does not branch and in compound glands the duct portion does branch.
APOCRINE SWEAT GLANDS

Asobi asobase? XD
No, your mother. > @@manarmohammed4872
Excellent..
Thx a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Just wanna say thank you
You are welcome my friend.
Rating 9/10
Nice video
Thanks
راقي❤️
Thanks ❤️
Amazing vdo
Can u clarify how the drawings of the compound classification have more than 1 duct? i see 1 in the pictures.
awesome
Man you are awesome thanks so much
EVENTUALLY İ GET THE TOPİC, THANK YOU
You are welcome, and thanks for watching.
as i want it to be thank you
Thanks alot🤍✨
Thank you!
You are welcome Nyawira Waithaka, and thanks for watching.
Wow
Sir please teach us about types of glands ,and function
Fantastic
Thanks pradeep sparks.
Best
Genius
🎉🎉
Awwwwesoome 🌷
Thanks yahya m.
Thanks for this amazing visual demonstrating! But isn’t the the sweat gland is misnamed and it’s actually a merocine gland
Thanks 💙
You are welcome my friend.
Thx for this amazing vid -last exam they asked for exocrine and I wrote this -mero-apo--holo crine and I don't know why she gives me zero
