merocrine gland
The gland that secretes substances by exocytosis is called an exocrine gland. Exocrine glands release their secretions, such as enzymes or sweat, through ducts directly to the external environment or onto an epithelial surface.
The type of exocrine gland you are referring to is a merocrine gland. Merocrine glands release their secretory products by exocytosis without losing any part of the cell. Examples include salivary glands and sweat glands.
either endocrine or exocrine According to my medical terminology book the correct answer would be exocrine. Endocrines DO NOT have ducts.
Exocrine glands are any glands that deposit their secretions through a duct onto a body surface. Because sweat is deposited onto the surface of our skin it would be considered an exocrine gland. Endocrine glands secrete directly into our bloodstream.
Exocrine glands
Endocrine glands secrete their products into the blood whereas the Exocrine glands secrete their products directly into the target organ for example the parotid gland secretes the salyva directly into the mouth without using theblood for transpor.
This gland would be classified as an exocrine gland. Exocrine glands secrete their products, such as enzymes or hormones, through ducts directly to the external environment or surface of the body.
Salivary glands are a good example of a tubular exocrine gland. These glands secrete saliva through a system of ducts.
exocrine gland
Unicellular exocrine glands are certain cells that are specialized for secretion. Even though they are single cells and have no ducts, they are still considered to be exocrine because they secrete their products directly to a specific site. The most common unicellular exocrine glands are the goblet cells that secrete mucus in the epithelium of your trachea and digestive tract.
The exocrine product of the testes are semen. Semen is made up of sperm and accessory gland secretions that are formed in the testicles.
A gland that secretes a substance out through a duct.These salivary glands, sweat glands are exocrine gland.
