GL I


Wrap'd up under one common Membrane-Such ire the Ma-
xillary Glands, &c.
The Humors fecreted in there Glands, are fometimes dif-
charged at a common excretory Du&, form'd of an Union
of the excretory Ducs of all the particular ones; as the
Pancbreas and Carotides do. See PANCHREAS and CA-
ROTIDES.
Sometimes, the Duffs uniting form feveral Tubes, only
communicating with each other by crofs Canals; as in thofe
of the Breafis. See MAMM)E.
Some, again, have feveral excretory Tubes, without any
Communication together; as the Glanduhe lacbrymales, and
proJfate. See PROSTATIE, SC.
Others, have their feveral excretory Ducs inferted into a
common Canal, which opens at lafi into Come of the greater
Cavities; as the Salival Glands, Inteftinal Glands, &c. See
SALIVA, INTESTINES, &C.
Laftily, in others, each Gland has its own excretory Du&,
41ro' which it transmits its Liquor to a common Bafon;
fuch are thofe of the Kidneys. See KIDNEY, PELVIS, &C-
The Glands are again divided into Fafculdr, and Veficular.
Vaficular GLANDS are only Cluffers of little Veflfels, which
uniting together, form the Canal or excretory Du&t through
which their fecreted Juice is discharged.
VIF/cullar GLANDS are ATemblages of Veficulx commu-
nicating with each other, and all terminating in two or three
larger Veffiels; by a Prolongation whereof the excretory
Dua is form'd.
The Glands, again, are divided into Advcntitious; and
Perpetual, or Nat tral.
Adventitious GLANDS are thofe Kernels arifing occafion-
ally under the Arm-pits, on the Neck, F-ec. Such are the
Strume, and the Tumors fometimes found on the Larynx,
and Middle of the Trachea.
Perpetual, or Natural GLANDS are of two Kinds, Con-
slobate, and Conglomerate. See CONGLO1ATE, and CON-
CLOMERATE.

Lumnbal GLANDS, or GLANDULE Lunibares, are three
Glands, thus called by Bartholine, as lying on the Loins.
See LOINS.
The two largefi lie upon one another betwixt the defcend-
ing Cava and Aorta, in the Angle made by the Emulgents
with the Cava: The third and fmalleft Qands over the
former under the Appendices of the Diaphragm. They
communicate, and are conneited together by fmall la-
deal Veffels. 7Bartholine had concluded them to ferve as a
common Receptacle of the Chyle. but Dr. Wharton's Opi-
nion is more probable, viz. that they fupply the Place of
thofe larger Glands found in the Mefenteries of Brutes.
Miliary GLANDS, GLANDULE Miliarcs. SeeMILIARY
Glands.
Mucilaginous GLANDS are a kind of Glan4s firfi defcribed
by Dr. Wavers. See MUCILAGINOUS Glands.
Mucous GLANDS, GLANDULAE MUCofe; fee Mucous
Glands.
Myrtifirm GLANDS, are Contractions of the Hymen,
broke by the firfi Ad of Venery. See -MYRTIUORMES Glan-
dule; Xfe alfo HYMEN.
Odoriferous GLANDS, GLANDULE Odorifere, are certain
fmall Glands difcover'd by Dr. 7yfon, in that Part of the
Penis, where the Prxpuce is contiguous to the Balanus. See
PRAEP UT UM.
He gave them this Name from the bri& Scent which their
feparated Liquor emits. In ruch Perfons as have the Pre.-
puce longer than ordinary, they are not only more in Num-
ber, but larger, and feparate a greater Quantity of Juice;
whbih, lodging there, often grows rancid, and corrupts the


Glands. Theye, Glands are very conspicuous in iplft Qa;
druyeds, efpecially Dogs, and Boars.

Pituitary GLAND, GLANDULA Pitutaria. See PITVrr
TARY Gland.
Renal, GLANDS, GLANDUL    RenaLsi 6call'd alfoCapf-
le atrabilares, are two Glands, firmi difoover'd by Eufrachws,
between the Aorta, and the Kidneys, a little above the
emulgent Veffels; tho' tbeirSituation and Figure is-varied:
In fome they are round; in others fquare, triangular, tech
'The right'is ufually bigger than the left, and each about the
Size of a Nux Vomica: They are inclos'd in Fat.
Their Ufe is not certainly known: 'Tis 'fuppos'd to he to
feparate a Liquor from the Arterial Blood? before it go to
the Kidneys.-See ATR ABILAR AS.
GLANDERS, a filthy Difeafe in a Horfe, confitling in
a running of corrupt Matter from the Nofe, of a different
Colour, according to the Degree of the Malignity, or as
the Infeaion has been of Jhorter or longer Continuance i be-
ing white, yellow, green, or black.-
Authors afcribe it to various Caufes; fome to Infeffion;
fome, to a Diforder of the Lungs ; others, to the Spleen,
fome, to the Liver; and others, to the Brain-After it has
been of fo long fanding, that the Matter is become of a blac-
kilh Colour, which is ufually in its lafi Stage, they fuppofe
it to come from the Spine; and hence call it the Mourning
of the Chine.
Kernels and Knots are ufually felt under the Caul in
this Diforder: And as thefe grow bigger and more inflamed,
fo the Glanders increafe more under the Horfe's Body.
A late Author is of opinion, that the chief Seat of this
Diflemper is in a little, foft, fpungy Flefh, which is eafly
dilated by the leaft Influx of the Blood: And thence it is
that fome Horfes have a running at the Nofe from a very
flight Cold; but when this fpungy Subfiance happens to be
very much relaxed, the Running is increafed in Piroportion.
GLANDULA, in Anatomy, the fame as Gland. See
GLAND.
The Word is a Diminutive of the Latin Glans, Acorn;
and is here us'd on account of Corne external Refemblance
between the Glands of the Body, and the Fruit of the Oak.
GLANDULE Sebacee, are a Number of Glands under the
Skin of the Auricle of the Ear, firfi difcover'd by Val-
falva, and thus denominated, by reafon they feparate a greafy
Matter, like Sebum, or Tallow. See AURICLE.
This Sebum, he aflerts, being carried to the Surface-of
the Skin, turns into a fcaly Subfilance, not unlike that of
Bran.
GLANDULA Guidonis, among Surgeons, is a Tumor re-
fembling a Gland, foft, fingle, moveable, without Roots,
and Separated from the adjacent Parts.-
GLANDULE, in Anatomy, &c. a Diminutive of the
Word Glands fignifying a little Gland.
Thus, the Amygdahae, or Almonds of the Ears are called
Glandules. See TONSIL.
GLANDULOUS, or GLANDULAR, Something corn-
pofed of Glands; or that abounds with Glands. See GLAND.
Thus, the Brea{'s are faid to be Glandulous Bodies. See
BREASTS.
The Cortical Subflance of the Brain is commonly reputed
to be glandulous: Tho' the Exceller~t RuyJch, from the
Difcoveries made by his admirable Injefions, holds that
there is no fuch thing therein. See BRAIN.
The Antients dif{inguilh'd a particular kind of Flelh,
which they call'd Caro glandulofa, or glandulous Flefh. See
FLESH.
GLANDULOUS .Body, GLANDULOSUM Corpus, the fame
with Proftata. See PROSTATA.
GLANS, Acorn, in Natural Hiflory, a Fruit contain'd
within a fmooth, but hard Bark, including a fingle Seed;
its Hind-part being cover'd with a kind of Cup, and the
Fore-part bare. See FRUIT, and SEED; fee alfo TizM-
BER, &C.
GLANS, in Anatomy, is the Tip, or Button of the Penis;
or that Part cover'd with the Priepuce; call'd alfo Balanus.
See BALANUS, and PENIS.
The Glans is only a Dilatation of the Extremity of the
fpongeous Subfiance of the Urethra, bunch'd and turn'd
back on the two conical Tips of the Corpora cavernofa,
which terminate therein. See URETHRA, and CAVERNOSA.
Corpora.
The Extremity of the Prxpuce is apt to grow fo firaight
in old Men, that it cannot bear the Glans; perhaps thro' the
Defe&k of frequent Eredions.  See PREPUCE; fee alfo
ERECTION.
GLANS is alfo ufed for the Tip, or Extremity of the Cli-
toris,- from its Refemblance both in Form and Ufe, to that
of the Penis. See CLITORIS.
The principal Difference confifis in this, that it is not per-
forated: This;Glans is alfo cover'd with a Prnputium, form'd
of the inner Membrane of the Labia. See ParxpIium.
