Adenomere
Adenomere (pronunciation: /ædɪnəmɪər/) is a term used in histology to describe a structural unit of a gland. The term is derived from the Greek words "aden" meaning gland, and "meros" meaning part.
Etymology
The term "Adenomere" is derived from two Greek words. The first part, "aden", is derived from "adenos" which means gland in Greek. The second part, "mere", is derived from "meros" which means part in Greek. Therefore, the term "Adenomere" can be translated as "part of a gland".
