into ECF then to blood stream or lymph; hormones

Answer 21

endocrine

Question 22

watery fluid & enzymes

Answer 22

serous

Question 23

mucous

Answer 23

mucins + water = mucus

Question 24

eccrine secretion

Answer 24

• exocytosis
• can be continuous
• fastest secretion rate

Question 25

apocrine secretion

Answer 25

• apical portion is shed
• non-continuous
• production in waves
