Question
Chapter 17, Problem 5RQ
Summary Introduction
To review:
Different glands and their histological structures.
Introduction:
Histology is called the study of the microanatomy of cells, tissues, and organs. It is a correlation between structure and function. Various endocrine glands have different histological structures. Endocrine glands can consist of epithelial cells, neurons that secrete hormones, muscle cells, and cells like fibroblast.
