16
Q

These are the more numerous glands: their function is to secrete products into ducts and onto body surfaces or into body cavities: it is located in mucus, sweat,oil, salivary glands
Also has two types

A

Exocrine glands

17
Q

Products are only secreted by exocytosis

A

Merocrine

18
Q

Gland cells rupture and secrete with the secretion product

A

Holocrine
