What is the difference between an endocrine and an exocrine gland?

Masja [62]3 years ago

Answer:

The difference between an Endocrine and an Exocrine Gland is that Exocrine Gland are those glands that pour their product of secretion to the outside of the body ( have secretion channels) and Endocrine Glands are those that pour their product of secretion (hormones) into the bloodstream ( have no secretion channels).

Explanation:

The glands are structures that can be constituted by one or several cells, and that are formed from epithelial tissue. Their function is to secrete various substances, such as hormones, and they are classified as endocrine and exocrine, according to the place where they discharge their secretions.

The Endocrine Glands are very vascular structures, that is, irrigated by a large network of blood capillaries, thin and porous walls. These glands produce hormones that are poured directly into the bloodstream and transported by the blood vessels to the target tissues, where they come to perform their function. According to the chemical nature of the hormones produced by the endocrine glands, the organelles of the cells that constitute them can reach different degrees of development. For example the pancreas secretes insulin, which allows the body to regulate blood sugar levels.

The Exocrine Glands secrete substances through ducts directed to the surface of the body or to the interior of some organs. For example, exocrine glands are mucus-producing goblet cells, present in mucosal epithelia such as the lining of the intestine, and the sweat, sebaceous, and mammary glands. Tears are also produced by exocrine glands.

You look through a microscope, and see a cell with the following characteristics. What phase of the cell cycle is this cell in?
Margaret [11]

Answer:

Telophase

Explanation:

Each sub-phase of M-phase can be distinguished and identified very easily now as each sub-phase shows certain characteristics features.

In the given question, the chromosomes are divided at the end that is they have been distributed to the poles of the cells, appear shaped liked lines and the nuclear envelope starts to appear around them as well as the nucleolus.

This sub-phase of the M-phase is known as the "Telophase". Cells during Telophase are characterized by having nuclear membrane formation and other characteristics mentioned in the cells support that the cell is in Telophase.

Thus, Telophase is correct.

A large number species on Earth become extinct during a short time period about 65 million years ago. Based on this pattern of e
max2010maxim [7]

Answer and Explanation:

During the whole biota history, there occurred extinctions due to different reasons.  

During the Cretaceous, which took place between 145-65 million years ago, there occurred a massive extinction that eliminated most of the species on the Earth. Many of the characteristic groups of this period were affected. Dinosaurs, Plesiosaurs, Ammonites, Tricodonts, Cycas, Gynkgos, Conifers, the recent angiosperms, birds, and mammals.  

The extinction was caused by the volcanic eruptions, and the unusual fall of many different asteroids, which caused important changes on the Earth´s surface. The consequent climatic change was what ended affecting all the species directly. The extinction was gradual, although it occurred in a short geological lapse of time.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)Organ transplantation requires that the donor organism and recipient be genetically close so that the graft or transplant will not be attacked by the immune system of the recipient leading to rejection and damage. Squeaky is likely to be made up of a different genetic configuration compared to laboratory inbred FG426 mouse

b) ips (induced pluripotent stem cell) on the other hand can benefit squeaky since the cells are somatic cells such as B cells, Keratinocytes, neuronal progenitors cells, kidney and muscles gotten from the donor that are reprogrammed by reactivating silent genes through fusing of another different cell such as ES (embryonic stem cell) and introduction of some transcriptional factors such oct4, sox2,kf4, and k-myc leading to transcriptional activity and DNA methylation.  This induced pluripotent stem cells can be grown into organ that can be transplanted to the recipient who was initially the donor of the reprogrammed somatic cells. Because it is from the host, the transplanted organ is not likely to trigger immune response compare to those grown from ES from other bred.
