What type of gland discharges fragments of the gland's cells during secretion?
apocrine
Make a sentence with the word apocrine?
Cells which are classified as apocrine bud their secretions off through the plasma membrane producing membrane bound vesicles in the lumen.
What do mucus and serous cells secrete?
Mucous cells have a thick secretion, the most common example is nasal mucous. Serous cells have a thin, almost watery secretion. Saliva is a good example of a serous secretion.
What type of cells create exocrine secretion?
acinar cells
What is the difference between merocrine and apocrine sweat glands?
holocrine,apocrine,merocrine are the terms used to designate the secretory cells (glands),depending on how these cells release their secretions. holocrine-release their secretions by lysis of the cell. apocrine-by budding off cell membrane into vesicles. merocrine-by exocytosis into ducts. ascending order of tissue damage during secretion merocrine Sweat glands are of 2 types Eccrine(a type of merocrine) and Apocrine. The term Apocrine sweat gland is a misnomer, since they dont secrete by apocrine mechanism, as earlier believed. Regarding differences, both types glands vary in terms of number,distribution,nature of secretions,activity,histology,innervation,etc I can now answer only a few things and the rest if left unanswered will be discussed by others. first eccrine, numerous, all over the body,clear,odorless secretions rich in Nacl and H20. next apocrine, limited,eyelids ,ear canal,alae of nose,armpits,breasts,pubic and perianal region,etc,odorless,oily,thick,opaque,secretions that gain odor after bacterial decomposition.
Do you sweat cells?
No, sweat is a secretion of fluids and electrolytes from inside your cells.
Secretion of inhibin by either the Sertoli cells in the seminiferous tubules of the male testes or by the granulosa cells in the female ovarian follicles will specifically decrease the secretion of?
FSH;
An extracellular matrix is produced by glycoprotein secretion by what?
An extracellular matrix is produced by glycoprotein secretion by animal cells. The simplest cells are the prokaryotic bacteria. Ribosomes are structures that are found within bacterial cells.
Why do armpits smell?
Most would say because of sweat...Actually, armpit sweat is odourless. The small amount of apocrine secretion in the sweat, however, causes the problem. Although fresh apocrine in sweat is also odourless, that characteristic smell develops when the sweat is broken down by the hair and skin cells in the armpit, and then eaten by bacteria. It's actually the bacteria that make the smell, releasing a chemical called 3-methyl-2-hexenoic acid.
Gland with cells that rupture to realse their secretion?
holoc
Epithelial cells exhibit modifications that adapt them for?
Secretion
Do pieces of hair have cells?
Yes, but they are actually dead cells. Your hair and nails are basically a secretion of dead cells.
