The pancreas is an exocrine and an endocrine gland. The islets of Langerhans produce insulin and are endocrine glands. The pancreatic tissue also produces digestive enzymes and buffers which have ducts, these are classical exocrine glands (Netter/Guyton). True False The surfactant-forming cell in the alveolus is a type II alveolar epithelial cell which constitutes about 10% of the surface area of the alveolus. These cells are granular and contain lipid inclusions that are secreted in the surfactant of the alveolus (Guyton p494). True False There is a right lung and a left lung in the thoracic cavity. The right lung has two lobes and the left lung has three (Netter). True False The corniculate cartilage is connected to the arytenoid cartilage and is involved in sound production by the vocal folds (Netter/Guyton). True False The muscle of the lips is the orbicularis oris. The muscle type is skeletal (Netter and last semester's notes on tissues and nerves). True or False?!

The acini of the pancreas are clumps of cells that surround a lumen and secrete powerful digestive enzymes into the lumen destined for the intestine. Back-leakage of the secreted enzymes could cause severe cell damage to the tissues surrounding the acini. Which of the following cell-to-cell junctions hold these cells together and prevent secreted enzymes from diffusing back into tissues of the pancreas? A. Focal adhesions B. Gap junctions C. Desmosomes D. Tight junctions
