There are many different glands in the body specialised to secrete different substances. These include the endocrine glands, salivary glands, etc. It also includes tarsal glands in the eyelid, lacrimal glands, mucous glands in the tongue, etc. Glands and their secretions are very important for homeostasis. Glands must always keep secretions in a balance. This is because if they secrete either too little or too much, health problems can occur. This is my personal favourite section in histology and I love it because of the unmatched beauty of the slides.
