From Embryology

Listed under Exocrine secretory epithelial cells, but are ectoderm in origin?

  • Mammary gland cell (milk secretion)
  • Lacrimal gland cell (tear secretion)
  • Ceruminous gland cell in ear (earwax secretion)
  • Eccrine sweat gland dark cell (glycoprotein secretion)
  • Eccrine sweat gland clear cell (small molecule secretion)
  • Apocrine sweat gland cell (odoriferous secretion, sex-hormone sensitive)
  • Gland of Moll cell in eyelid (specialized sweat gland)
  • Sebaceous gland cell (lipid-rich sebum secretion)


bulbourethral glands (Cowper’s glands)

  • paired, the size and shape of peas, and located within the urogenital diaphragm immediately posterior and lateral to the membranous urethra.
  • tubuloalveolar glands that empty into 2 cm ducts that drain into the bulbar urethra.
  • originate as epithelial buds from the urogenital sinus (UGS) (like the prostate)
