serous

Question 14

________ glands release mucins

Answer 14

Mucous glands

Question 15

______ ________ glands secrete both serous and mucous

Answer 15

Mixed exocrine

Question 16

Glandular epithelia’s types of secretions:

Answer 16

Serous glands-watery secretions
Mucous glands-secrete mucins
Mixed exocrine glands-both serous and mucous

Question 17

In this type of secretion, the product is released from secretory vesicles at the apical surface of the gland cell by exocytosis

Answer 17

Merocrine secretion

Question 18

This type of secretion involves the loss of the apical cytoplasm, inclusions, secretory vesicles, and other cytoplasmic components. These are all shed in the process.

Answer 18

Apocrine secretion

Question 19

The gland cell then grows and repairs itself before it releases additional secretions

Answer 19

Apocrine secretion

Occurs as superficial gland cells burts

Answer 20

Holocrine secretion

Question 21

Continuedsecretion involving the replacement of these cells through the mitotic divisions of underlying stem cells

Answer 21

Holocrine secretion
