276 GLANDULAR SYSTEM. 



Q. What are they? 



A. There is first, the glandular parenchyma with larger 

 lobes, separated from each other by cellular substance; 

 these larger lobes are resolved into smaller lobes, which 

 are agglomerated ; and these smaller lobes are composed 

 of glandular grains. 



Q. What glands are thus organized? 



*#. The pancreas, the salivary and lachrymal glands. 



Q. What is the second form of the glandular paren- 

 chyma? 



#. It is that of glandular bodies connected by cellular 

 substance without the lobulated structure of the first form. 



Q. What glands are examples of this? 



. The liver and the kidneys. 



Q. Designate the third form of the glandular paren- 

 chyma. 



*#. The third form comprising the amygdalae and mu- 

 cous glands have a soft, pulpy parenchyma, without lobes 

 or grains. 



Q. Is the organization of all the glands included in 

 these forms? 



#. It is not. The mammary glands and the testicles 

 have a peculiar texture. 



Q. What peculiar effect does ebullition produce on this 

 glandular texture? 



#. All the tissues acquire the horny hardening in the 

 first ebullition, but as the boiling is continued they be- 

 come soft. Now the glands differ from the textures in 

 this, that the longer they are boiled the harder their sub- 

 stance becomes. 



Q. What is the origin of the excretory ducts? 



*#. They arise as capillaries, one from each glandular
