Question 8

C- Cells of thyroid gland which decrease calcium levels in the blood

Answer 8

Question 9

Secretions of that cell are excreted via exocytosis from secretory cells into an epithelial-walled duct or ducts and then onto a bodily surface or into the lumen.
-No part of the cell is lost (Only Secretes enzymes)

Answer 9

Merocrine

Ex. Salivary Glands

Question 10

Bud their secretions off through the plasma membrane producing extracellular membrane-bound vesicles.
-Some parts of the cells are long along with secretions

Answer 10

Apocrine

Ex. Mammary Glands

Question 11

Secretions are produced in the cytoplasm of the cell and released by the rupture of the plasma membrane, which destroys the cell and results in the secretion of the product into the lumen.
-The whole cell detaches with secretion

Halocrine

Ex. Sweat Glands/Sebaceous Glands
