Glossing: writing word-by-word transliteration. Gloss is generally defined as an explanatory comment or note added to the text of a book. It is words of explanation or translation of a foreign or strange word that needs explanation. Wilcox describes gloss as the following:
1 The lacrimal gland produces tears which enter into the duct that drain the tears from the eye into the nose. 2  The most common symptoms are If one has a plugged up tear duct, not only will tears spill over the eyelids and ru n down the face, but the stagnant tears within the system can become infected.
The pituitary gland, in turn, produces corticotropin hormones, which stimulate the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroid or steroid hormones. Both parts of the glands -- the adrenal cortex and the medulla -- perform separate functions. Primary adrenal insufficiency, or Addison disease, has many causes, the most common of which is autoimmune adrenalitis.
