What the serous gland is

A gland in which the principal secretory cells are serous secreting cells. The atlas records it as a gland at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the serous gland is

This dataset records no region or system for it. No positional evidence of any kind. Drawn outside the body so it can still be found and counted, never inside it.

What the serous gland connects to

The atlas records 5 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. a kind of exocrine gland.
