| Functional Classification of Exocrine Glands |
|
Definition
| Apocrine, Holocrine and Merocrine |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
secretory products collect near apex of cell and are secreted by pinching off the distended end
secretion process results in some damage to the cell wall and some loss of cytoplasm
mammary glads are a good example |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-cells rupture,releasing chemicals into the duct.
-sebaceous glands |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
Secrete directly through cell membrane with no damage to the cell
most numerous gland type.
ex. salivary glands |
