| glandulae glomiformes | 1. A small globular body. 2. A highly organised arteriolovenular anastomosis forming a tiny nodular focus in the nailbed, pads of the fingers and toes, ears, hands, and feet and many other organs of the body. The afferent arteriole enters the connective tissue capsule of the glomus, becomes devoid of an internal elastic membrane, and develops a relatively thick epithelioid muscular wall and small lumen; the anastomosis may be branched and convoluted, richly innervated with sympathetic and myelinated nerves, and connected with a short, thin-walled vein that drains into a periglomic vein and then into one of the veins of the skin. The glomus functions as a shunt-or bypass-regulating mechanism in the flow of blood, temperature, and conservation of heat in the part as well as in the indirect control of the blood pressure and other functions of the circulatory system. Synonym: glandulae glomiformes, glomiform glands, glomus body. Synonym: glome. Origin: L. Glomus, a ball (05 Mar 2000) |

These accessory glands are just scattered scraps of lacrimal gland tissue; all of them produce the same kind of tears and debouch on to the conjunctival surface. Henle's and Baumgarten's "glands" are in fact not glands at all, but mere epithelial invaginations. Synonym: glandulae lacrimales accessoriae. (05 Mar 2000) |

| medial border of suprarenal gland | The paravertebral edge of the suprarenal gland. Synonym: margo medialis glandulae suprarenalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal surface of suprarenal gland | Surface of suprarenal gland in contact with the kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| renal surface of the suprarenal gland | The surface of the suprarenal gland in contact with the kidney. Synonym: renal surface of the suprarenal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| medulla of adrenal gland | It is composed principally of anastomosing cords of cells in the core of the gland; the cells display a chromaffin reaction because of the presence of epinephrine and norepinephrine in their granules. Synonym: medulla glandulae suprarenalis, medulla of adrenal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| central vein of suprarenal gland | The single draining vein of the gland; it receives a number of medullary veins; on the right side it empties directly into the inferior vena cava and on the left into the left renal vein. Synonym: vena centralis glandulae suprarenalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vulvovaginal gland | One of two mucoid-secreting tubuloalveolar glands on either side of the lower part of the vagina, the equivalent of the bulbourethral glands in the male; ensheathed with vestibular bulbs by ischiocavernosus muscles. Thus erection and muscle contraction cause secretion into vestibule of vagina. Synonym: glandula vestibularis major, Bartholin's gland, Duverney's gland, Tiedemann's gland, vulvovaginal gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peptic gland | A pepsin-secreting gland. See: gastric glands. (05 Mar 2000) |

Synonym: processus retromandibularis glandulae parotidis, processus retromandibularis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| merocrine gland | A gland that releases only an acellular secretory product, in contrast to a holocrine gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mery's gland | One of two small compound racemose glands, that produce a mucoid secretion, lying side by side along the membranous urethra just above the bulb of the corpus spongiosum; they discharge through a small duct into the spongy portion of the urethra.

| gland |
Structures within the body that produce and release certain fluids. There are two types of glands. One type, known as exocrine glands, release the fluids they produce via a tube or duct onto the skin or internal surfaces of the body, eg, sweat glands, salivary glands. The other type, called endocrine glands, release chemicals called hormones directly into the blood, eg, the adrenal glands that release the hormone adrenaline.
