The word "secretory" is a word, an adjective based on the verb secrete (noun secretion). It refers to a biological tissue or duct involved in secreting a fluid.

The similar and more common word is secretary (an administrator, or clerical assistant).

What forms secretory vesicles?

Secretory vesicles can form from the Golgi apparatus, which packages proteins and molecules for secretion. These vesicles can also be formed from endosomes that have internalized molecules or from specialized secretory cells in the body. Once formed, secretory vesicles move towards the cell membrane for exocytosis to release their contents outside the cell.


Three features of a secretory cell?

Secretory cells are specialized to produce and release specific substances, such as hormones, enzymes, mucus, or neurotransmitters. They typically have a large amount of rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus to support synthesis and packaging of the secretory products. They often have specialized structures like secretory vesicles or ducts to transport and release the secreted substances to their target locations.

What the function of secretory vesicles?

Vesicles perform many functions through complex mechanisms that can involve many aspects of cell regulation. Secretory vesicles in particular are specialized vesicles formed in the trans-golgi apparatus for releasing a product (such as molecule or protein) outside the cell. Secretory vesicles are used for exocytosis. Mast cells use secretory vesicles to release histamine which is a molecule involved immune response. Neurotransmitters can also be transmitted in secretory vesicles from nerve cells.
