________ glands (such as tear glands) have vesicles that release their secretion via exocytosis. ________ glands (such as oil - producing glands) secrete a mixture of disintegrated cells and their products.
mucous; cutaneous
mucous; serous
eccrine; holocrine
Brief Explanations
- For the first question, glands with branched ducts and secretory - cells forming sacs (acini) at one end of the ducts are called compound acinar glands. Simple acinar glands have unbranched ducts. Compound tubuloacinar glands have a combination of tubular and acinar structures. Areolar is a type of connective tissue, not a gland type. Simple coiled tubular glands have coiled tubular structures, not branched ducts with acini.
- For the second question, eccrine glands (like tear glands) release their secretion via exocytosis. Holocrine glands (like oil - producing glands) secrete a mixture of disintegrated cells and their products. Mucous glands secrete mucus, cutaneous refers to the skin, serous glands secrete a watery fluid.
