What's the difference between secernent and secretory?

Secernent


Definition:

  • (a.) Secreting; secretory.
  • (n.) That which promotes secretion.
  • (n.) A vessel in, or by means of, which the process of secretion takes place; a secreting vessel.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) However, with this system higher doses of secretagogues were required for detection of potassium efflux, since the potassium secernated was diluted by the perifused buffer.

  • (3) Generally the prognosis of non-secernent plasmocytomas is not worse than that of other forms.
  • (4) The cells of the first and third section secernate, while the second section does not possess secernating cells at all.
  • (5) Scanning and transmissive electron microscopy revealed the process of formation of bleb-like extrusions from the distal cytoplasm and showed that the appearance of the microtriches was being changed by an accumulation of products of secernation and secretion responsible for a lysis of the host cells.
  • (6) In non-secernent plasmocytomas there are no characteristic changes of serum protein.
  • (7) They obviously get secernated by the second portion of the salivary glands, which are developed in this stage.
  • (8) Neither in L2 nor in L3 any of the two types of cells differing in size in the mid gut's (ED2) epithelium ever secernates.

Secretory


Definition:

  • (a.) Secreting; performing, or connected with, the office secretion; secernent; as, secretory vessels, nerves.
  • (n.) A secretory vessel; a secernent.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) We have previously shown that serotonin is present in secretory granules of frog adrenochromaffin cells; concurrently, we have demonstrated that serotonin is a potent stimulator of corticosterone and aldosterone secretion by adrenocortical cells.
  • (2) Actinomycin D could suppress the effects of RSD feeding on the protein synthetic rate of some, but not of all, secretory proteins.
  • (3) Intact rams exhibited GH secretory episodes of greater (P less than 0.01) amplitude than did castrated lambs.
  • (4) Finally, it could be observed that elevated osmotic pressures reduced the lysis of isolated secretory granules when bicarbonate ions were present in the incubation medium.
  • (5) It is possible that the elements provide common precursor proteins that reach the secretory intermediate lobe cells through their dendritic branches.
  • (6) It was concluded that B. pertussis infection-induced hypoglycaemia was secondary to hyperinsulinaemia, possibly caused by an exaggerated insulin secretory response to food intake.
  • (7) The volume density of glycogen granules in hepatocytes was highest 4 hr after the secretory granules of B cells showed the lowest value.
  • (8) The data suggest that proinsulin, normally processed in secretory granules and released via the regulated pathway, may also be processed, albeit less efficiently, by the constitutive pathway conversion machinery.
  • (9) Electron microscopy revealed a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, an enlarged Golgi apparatus and many highly electron-dense secretory granules resembling those of Clara cells.
  • (10) Moreover, the most recent combined application of the rat interstitial cell testosterone (RICT) bioassay and a novel multiple-parameter deonvolution model has allowed investigators to dissect plasma concentration profiles of bioactive LH into defined secretory bursts, which have numerically explicit amplitudes, locations in time, and durations, and are acted upon by determinable subject- and study-specific endogenous metabolic clearance rates.
  • (11) A state of net secretory fluid flux was induced in isolated jejunal loops in weanling pigs by adding theophylline or cholera toxin to the lumen of the isolated loops.
  • (12) Conjugates of the synthetic peptide with phycoerythrin (Mr about 150 kD) and with secretory IgA (Mr about 380 kD) were both found in the nucleus very shortly after their introduction into the cytoplasm.
  • (13) Acini in the parotid gland of the North American mink (Mustela vision) are composed of seromucous cells that contain secretory granules of peculiar morphology.
  • (14) This was reversed by the simultaneous addition of calcium and the secretory stimulus.
  • (15) PYY-containing secretory granules were primarily found in the basal pole of open-type endocrine cells.
  • (16) Isoproterenol when added to the cultured cells failed to stimulate the incorporation of radioactive thymidine or the discharge of the secretory material from the acinar cells.
  • (17) Moreover, tumor secretory granule morphology may fail to allow tumor type identification.

  • (20) The results show that the difference in insulin secretory response between islets from normal and pregnant rats may be preserved when the islets are cultured for 20 h, and that these differences are enhanced for a variety of reasons after culture of islets in 83.3 mM glucose.
