The secretory product of the conjunctiva is mucus, which helps to keep the eye lubricated and moist. It also contains antibodies and enzymes that help to protect the eye from infections.

The major secretory product of the Graafian follicle is estrogen. Estrogen is a hormone that plays a crucial role in the regulation of the menstrual cycle and in the maintenance of female reproductive health.
The primary secretory product of the liver is bile, which is produced by hepatocytes and stored in the gallbladder before being released into the small intestine to aid in digestion and absorption of fats.
The secretory product of sudoriferous glands, also known as sweat glands, is sweat. Sweat is primarily composed of water, salts, and small amounts of other substances such as urea and ammonia. It helps regulate body temperature by evaporating from the skin's surface.
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.

The adrenal gland consists of cells that accumulate a secretory product, known as adrenaline or epinephrine, in their cytosol. These cells, known as chromaffin cells, are found in the adrenal medulla. When stimulated, these cells release adrenaline into the bloodstream as part of the body's stress response.
The secretory system does not really exist. There is a secretory mechanism that is part of the endocrine system, and that secretes hormones into the blood stream.
Modes of Secretionof exocrine glandsSecretory cells of exocrine glands release their products into ducts in three different ways. The mode of secretion can be classified as merocrine, apocrine, or holocrine.Cells that secrete products via the merocrine method form membrane-bound secretory vesicles internal to the cell. These are moved to the apical surface where the vesicles coalesce with the membrane on the apical surface to release the product. Most glands release their products in this way.In those glands that release product via the apocrinemethod, the apical portions of cells are pinched off and lost during the secretory process. This results in a secretory product that contains a variety of molecular components including those of the membrane. Mammary glands release their products in this manner.The third type of secretory release, holocrine, involves death of the cell. The secretory cell is released and as it breaks apart, the contents of the cell become the secretory product. This mode of secretion results in the most complex secretory product. Some sweat glands located in the axillae, pubic areas, and around the areoli of the breasts release their products in this manner. Sebaceous glands also are of this type.
