Initial Post Instructions
This week, we are learning about different types of tissues and their subtypes. For your initial post address one of the following topics.
- Classify the major exocrine glands with respect to their structure, their modes of secretion, and give clear examples of where each class of gland would … found in the human
The major exocrine glands are merocrine glands, apocrine glands, and holocrine glands. These makeup glands such as sweat glands, lacrimal glands, salivary glands, mammary glands, and digestive glands of the stomach, pancreas, and intestines. In the article Exocrine Glands by Admin of BYJUs, they state that “The holocrine glands are … when the cell ruptures and are … in the cytoplasm of the cell” (Admin, 2019). The apocrine secretion is from the buds of the cell membrane and releases substances into the ductal system. The merocrine is … into a duct through cell channels with no rupturing. In the same article … above also states that “these are found in the intestinal wall, GI tract, or outside of the body” (Admin, 2019). They mainly secrete that of water, ions, and mucous.
