What is an example of holocrine glands?
Holocrine gland is a type of exocrine gland that destroys its own cells in addition to its products. An example of this is the sebaceous gland.
What glands store secretions until the cells rupture?
Holocrine glands store secretions until the cells accumulate a full load, rupture, and release the contents. This process allows the entire cell, along with the secretions, to be released. Sebaceous glands in the skin are an example of holocrine glands.
Which of exocrine glands constitute the mammary glands?
Holocrine gland
Glandular secretion associated with?
The glandular secretion is associated with pocrine, holocrine, and merocrine.
What are the glands that secrete substances onto external surfaces called?
holocrine glands
What type of secretion undergo mitosis and rupture?
Holocrine glands are the type of secretion that undergo mitosis and rupture. The cells accumulate secretory products until they burst and release their contents. Examples include sebaceous glands in the skin.
What is a a type of secretion in which cells become packed with secretions and then burst apart and die?
Holocrine
What glands are holocrine glands that are associated with hair follicles?
Holocrine glands associated with hair follicles are sebaceous glands. These glands secrete an oily substance called sebum, which helps to lubricate and waterproof the hair and skin. The secretion occurs as the entire cell disintegrates, releasing its contents, which is characteristic of holocrine secretion. This process not only protects the skin but also plays a role in preventing bacterial growth.
Cells in a gland which secrete by the holocrine method belong to which major class of tissue?
epithelia tissue
What words end with -crine?
These are from the Scrabble dictionary: apocrine autocrine eccrine endocrine exocrine holocrine merocrine neuroendocrine paracrine quinacrine tacrine These are from Webster's Second International dictionary: amacrine crine endocrine exocrine holocrine Locrine Lucrine nacrine quinacrine scrine volucrine
Holocrine glands release their secretions when cells burst What is this process called?
This process is called holocrine secretion, where the entire cell containing the secretory product ruptures to release its contents. This differs from merocrine secretion, where secretory products are released through exocytosis without cell damage.
Which of the glands types merocine or holocrine would be expected to have the highest rate of cell division and why?
Holocrine glands are a type of secretory gland where the secretory product is formed inside the cytoplasm and the secretion is released by the disruption of the plasma membrane and destruction of the cell. Therefore, holocrine is the answer because it is a secretory gland and cells are lost in the secretion, thus needing continuous reproduction.
