These are spinneret glands on the abdomen of a spider.

Inside each spider, there are hundreds of silk glands, sometimes thousands.

In an orb web weaving spider, you can find seven types of silk glands, and what I have depicted here in this picture, let's start at the one o'clock position, there's tubuliform silk glands, which are used to make the outer silk of an egg sac.

There's the aggregate and flagelliform silk glands which combine to make the sticky capture spiral of an orb web.

Pyriform silk glands make the attachment cement that's the silk that's used to adhere silk lines to a substrate.

So if you ever have the opportunity to dissect an orb web weaving spider, and I hope you do, what you would find is a bounty of beautiful, translucent silk glands.

It has pores, it has sweat glands, it has all these things that work together very dynamically and very efficiently, and so what I propose is that our building skins should be more similar to human skin, and by doing so can be much more dynamic, responsive and differentiated, depending on where it is.

Many chemical mediators are involved, including cortisol and adrenalin from the adrenal glands, other hormones and neurotransmitters (such as serotonin and noradrenalin), and responses from the autonomic and immune systems. Depression thus leads to changes in the rest of the body, owing to long term chemical imbalances in the systems that control the heart, the immune system, and metabolism.
