trachea gland

A tubuloacinar seromucous gland that is located principally in the submucosa of the trachea. Excretory ducts from this gland pass through the lamina propria to the tracheal lumen. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the trachea gland is

A tubuloacinar seromucous gland that is located principally in the submucosa of the trachea. Excretory ducts from this gland pass through the lamina propria to the tracheal lumen. The atlas records it as a gland at the organ scale in the human body.

Where the trachea gland is

It sits within the respiratory system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What the trachea gland connects to

The atlas records 6 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of respiratory system, respiratory tract and trachea.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the trachea gland. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.

Also called

Also recorded as glandula trachealis, tracheal gland and tubular seromucous gland of trachea. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions

Where is the trachea gland?

It sits within the respiratory system. Not positioned individually. Drawn inside the structure this dataset says contains it — the containment is asserted, the exact spot within it is not.

What does the trachea gland connect to?

Part of: respiratory system, respiratory tract and trachea.

Is the trachea gland the same in other species?

Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
