Most common exocrine gland in body. Secretions synthesized on ribosomes attached to rough ER, packaged by golgi complex are released from cell via exocytosis. Examples: salivary glands and pancreas.

Question 9

Apocrine Glands

Answer 9

Accumulate their secretory product at the apical surface of the secreting cell. Then, that portion of the cell pinches off by exocytosis from the rest of the cell to release the secretion. Example: mammory and sweat glands.
