| maxillary gland | The second largest of the three major salivary glands. It is located deep to the mandible (jaw bone). (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| gland | <anatomy> Organ specialised for secretion by the infolding of an epithelial sheet. The secretory epithelial cells may either be arranged as an acinus with a duct or as a tubule. Glands from which release occurs to a free epithelial surface are exocrine, those that release product to the circulatory system are endocrine glands. (17 Dec 1997) |
| Gley's gland | <anatomy, endocrinology> Four small endocrine glands lying close or embedded in the posterior surface of the thyroid gland. They secrete the hormone parathormone. (27 Sep 1997) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
| retromandibular process of parotid gland | That portion of the parotid salivary gland that is located behind the mandible and occupies the space between the ramus of the mandible and the mastoid process extending as far medially as the pharyngeal wall. 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. Synonym: glandula bulbourethralis, Cowper's gland, Mery's gland. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chief cell of parathyroid gland | A round clear cell with a centrally located nucleus; secretes parathyroid hormone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater vestibular 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) |
| Rivinus' gland | The smallest of the three major salivary glands. It is located. It lies under the floor of the mouth close to the midline. (12 Dec 1998) |
| metrial gland | Collection of granular epithelial cells in the uterine muscle beneath the placenta that develop during pregnancy in certain species of animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Rosenmuller's gland | One of the deep inguinal lymph node's located in or adjacent to the femoral canal; sometimes mistaken for a femoral hernia when enlarged. Synonym: Rosenmuller's gland, Rosenmuller's node. (05 Mar 2000) |
| milk gland | <anatomy> Milk producing gland of female mammals. An adapted sweat gland, it is made up of milk producing alveolar cells, surrounded by contractile myoepithelial cells, together with considerable numbers of fat cells. Milk production is hormonally controlled. (18 Nov 1997) |
