Question

drag and match match the following glands with their method of secretion. mammary glands sebaceous glands salivary glands holocrine secretion merocrine secretion apocrine secretion

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Holocrine secretion: Sebaceous glands release their secretions (sebum) by the entire cell disintegrating, which is holocrine secretion.
  • Merocrine secretion: Salivary glands secrete saliva through exocytosis, where the cell remains intact, this is merocrine secretion.
  • Apocrine secretion: Mammary glands (for milk secretion) and also sweat glands (though here mammary) use apocrine, where a portion of the cell's cytoplasm is released along with the secretion.

Answer:

  • Holocrine secretion: Sebaceous glands
  • Merocrine secretion: Salivary glands
  • Apocrine secretion: Mammary glands
