What's the difference between arytenoid and gland?

Arytenoid


Definition:

Gland


Definition:

  • (n.) An organ for secreting something to be used in, or eliminated from, the body; as, the sebaceous glands of the skin; the salivary glands of the mouth.
  • (n.) An organ or part which resembles a secreting, or true, gland, as the ductless, lymphatic, pineal, and pituitary glands, the functions of which are very imperfectly known.
  • (n.) A special organ of plants, usually minute and globular, which often secretes some kind of resinous, gummy, or aromatic product.
