Q

Merocrine glands

A

form the secretory products and discharge them by exocytosis (sweat and salivary glands)

54
Q

Apocrine glands/decapitating

A

accumulate secretary products at the apical surface of the secreting cell; that portion then pinches off from the rest of the cell to form the secretion with the remaining part of the cell repairing itself and repeating the process (mammary and cercumum glands)
