 | | If you were unhappy with the preservation of sweat glands on slide D-165 you get another chance to examine these structures here. | | | As discussed in earlier laboratory sessions, it is always important for you to find areas with the simplest plane of section for your study. | | | However, the few exceptions merely underscore the strong usual correspondence between subunits of structure and of function among most glands (and other organs). |

| | The Limbic System describes all the parts of the brain which control drives and emotional behavior such as anger, fear, thirst, hunger, sexual behavior, etc. In addition to its role in modifying the traditional Limbic functions, the Hypothalamus is vital in maintaining many homeostatic variables. | | | In keeping with its vestigial role in detecting light and dark, the pineal gland, in humans is an integral role in the physiological changes associated with the sleep/wake cycle and seasons. | | | Though humans may deny the importance of apocrine glands, calling them "evolutionary vestiges", apocrine glands give a characteristic muskiness to the genitals and may contribute to sexual attraction (or repulsion). |

| | Exocrine organs as a whole can be classified structurally, however, based on the nature of the ductwork. | | | Probably the best example is to be found in the large intestine, slide 126. | | | These are exocrine glands in which the duct system is divided, although the secretory portion may or may not be. |

| | Gland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Humans have a large variety of glands, from the pituitary gland in the brain, to sweat glands over the body's skin that release perspiration to regulate the body's temperature. | | | Glands typically may be referred to by two or more means, though some terms are rarely seen. | | | This ingrowth may from the beginning possess a tubular structure, but in other instances glands may start as a solid column of cells which subsequently becomes tubulated. |
