[Correlation of salivary and genital glands]
Abstract:
Based on the experimental data correlation of parotids and genital glands in 24 male rabbits 1.5 months after testectomy (full testectomy, unilateral partial resection and bilateral partial resection) was found out. The findings included hyperplasia, parenchyma atrophy, stromal and periductal sclerosis of the parotids. In the majority of cases in adjacent lymphatic notes hyperplasia of B-zones and devastation of T-zones may also be seen, confirming autoimmune reaction after genital glands injury.

Accessory Glands of the Male Reproductive System
The epididymis is a small, comma-shaped organ located at the back of each testicle. The epididymis can be divided into three main parts: the head, body, and tail. The head of the epididymis...

Exocrine Glands: Types of Secretions
Serous glands produce watery secretions rich in digestive enzymes and proteins. The constituent cells of the serous gland have centrally located nuclei and eosinophilic secretory granules in the cytoplasm. The parotid gland is an example of a serous gland. It secretes saliva, which contains enzymes, such as lipases and...

Merocrine Secretion
Merocrine secretion is the most common type of exocrine secretion. The secretions are enclosed in vesicles and moved to the cell's apical surface, where the contents are released by exocytosis. For example, mucous, a watery secretion rich in the glycoprotein mucin, is a merocrine secretion. The eccrine glands...
