Chapter 3, Problem 1CT
Summary Introduction
To review:
The mode of glandular secretion when the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), and membrane components are present.
Introduction:
The different modes of glandular secretion include the eccrine (merocrine), apocrine, and holocrine secretion. In the merocrine secretion, the cell is not destroyed and remains intact. Rather, the secretory product is packaged into secretory vesicles and is released onto surface of the cell through exocytosis. For example, secretions from globlet cells in the intestine. During the apocrine secretions, only the apical portion of the cell’s cytoplasm is shed off to release secretory product. For example, secretions from lactiferous cells of the mammary glands.
