Question #77af0
1 Answer
Eccrine glands secret their products to the outside world, without killing the cell or cutting of part of the cell.
Explanation:
Eccrine (also called merocrine, eccrine usually refers to the sweat glands ) glands excrete to the outside world without sacrificing either their entire cell or a part of their cell. They usually do this by fusing a vesicle with their membrane, releasing their product. An example of eccrine secretion would be most of the sweat glands (some are apocrine, which i will talk about next)
Apocrine glands secrete their products by cutting of a part of their cell. This means that the cell actually loses a part of itself
Holocrine glands secrete their products by producing a lot of their products, until they literally burst apart and thereby secrete their product.
