Mirigyképz
Mirigyképz is a term used in Hungarian developmental biology to describe the formation and maturation of glands during embryogenesis and postnatal development. The concept covers both exocrine glands, which secrete via ducts into surfaces or cavities, and endocrine glands, which release hormones into the circulatory system. In normal development, mirigyképz involves coordinated cell proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis that establish secretory units and, for many glands, an organized ductal network.
Origins and patterns of development vary by gland type. Some glands originate from specific ectodermal thickening,
Clinically, mirigyképz is studied to understand congenital gland anomalies, hypoplasia or agenesis, and glandular tumors such
Term usage varies in Hungarian literature, but mirigyképz is commonly treated as the overarching process of
