Exocrine gland, artwork

Exocrine gland. Computer artwork of a section through an exocrine gland. Exocrine glands secrete their products through ducts on to epithelial surfaces. They include salivary, sweat and mammary glands. The secretory products are produced in the acinus cells and secreted through a series of ducts that become wider, until the surface is reached

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork, titled "Exocrine Gland" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the intricate structure of one of our body's vital glands. Against a striking black background, this computer-generated illustration showcases a cross-section view of an exocrine gland in all its biological glory. The exocrine gland plays a crucial role in our physiology by secreting its products through ducts onto epithelial surfaces. This diverse group of glands includes salivary, sweat, and mammary glands, each with their own unique functions. In this artwork, we can witness the complexity and beauty of these secretory systems. Highlighted in this print are the acinus cells responsible for producing the secretory products within the gland. These specialized cells meticulously secrete their contents through a series of ducts that gradually widen until they reach the surface where they are needed. With precise labeling and annotations throughout the image, viewers can gain valuable insights into the anatomical features and structures present within this exocrine gland. The lobes, alveolar units, ducts – every component is meticulously depicted to enhance our understanding of this remarkable biological phenomenon. Created by Science Photo Library's talented artists using advanced digital techniques, this stunning piece seamlessly blends artistry with scientific accuracy. It serves as both an aesthetic delight and an educational tool for those fascinated by biology and human anatomy.
