Glands Cardiac

Cardiac glands (g. cardiacae) are glands located in the walls of large arteries. They release substances into the lumen of blood vessels that dilate blood vessels and reduce their tone, which helps improve blood supply to tissues.

Cardiac glands look like small round formations located on the inner surface of the walls of large arteries, such as the aorta, pulmonary artery, coronary arteries and others. They consist of two parts: secretory and excretory. The secretory part of glandular cells releases biologically active substances into the lumen of blood vessels, such as prostaglandins, bradykinin, acetylcholine and others, which contribute to vasodilation. The excretory part of the glandular tissue ensures the release of these substances into the lumen of the vessel.

The role of the cardiac glands is to regulate vascular tone, improve blood supply to tissues and maintain the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system. Disruption of the cardiac glands can lead to various diseases, such as arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis and others.

Cardiac glands are tissues and organs located inside the heart. These structures are responsible for pumping blood and providing the body with oxygen during the work of the heart muscle. Ventricular glands are one of the main structures of the heart, which are also known as cardiomyocytes or cardiocytes. They are the most common types of cells in the heart. The gastric glands are located in the heart muscle and form its wall. The ventricular glands have several functions, including protecting the heart from damage, contracting and relaxing the myocardium, and generating electrical impulses. The ventricles of the heart are a key element in maintaining rhythm and preventing heart failure. Their work can be impaired by various diseases, such as coronary heart disease, heart failure and arrhythmia. Each ventricle is divided into two parts - upper and lower.
