∙ 12y ago
Secretion is the process of elaborating, releasing, and oozing chemicals, or a secreted chemical substance, from a cell or gland. In contrast to excretion, the substance may have a certain function, rather than being a waste product. Hypersecretion means producing more of these chemicals than what is considered normal or average; in other words, excessive secretion. Hyposecretion means producing less of these chemicals than what is considered normal or average; in other words, undersecretion.
