Question 6

Apocrine gland

Answer 6

Are glands that collect their secretory products near the apical face of the cell and then release them into a duct by pinching a vesicle off at the distended end

Question 7

Holocrine gland

Answer 7

Are glands that collect their secretory product inside the cell and then rupture completely to release it

Question 8

Merocrine gland

Answer 8

Are glands that discharge their secretion product directly through the cell or plasma membrane

Question 9

Why dont endocrine glands have ducts?
