Secrete refers to the process of releasing substances (such as hormones or enzymes) from cells into the body. Excrete, on the other hand, refers to the process of eliminating waste products (such as urine or feces) from the body. Essentially, secretion involves releasing useful substances, while excretion involves removing waste from the body.

What are the main glands that excrete hormones?

What is an aggregation of cells specialized to secrete or excrete materials not related to their function?
This aggregation of cells specialized to secrete or excrete materials not related to their function is known as a gland. Glands can be classified into various types based on their secretion mechanisms and the type of substances they release. Examples include sweat glands, salivary glands, and endocrine glands.
Compare endocrine glands and excocrine glands?
The main difference between exocrine and endocrine glands is that endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream and have no ducts while exocrine glands secrete chemical substances into ducts.
Do you secrete or excrete sweat?
You secrete sweat. Excretions refer to bodily waste. They serve no more use to the body and thus are removed from the system. (e.g. feces, urine) In contrast, secretions serve a purpose and are not considered waste. (e.g. sweat, saliva, mucus, wax). Sweat is necessary in thermo-regulation.

Do all mammals excrete waste in the same way?
Technically skin doesn't excrete anything, skin glands aren't there to don't remove waste from the body. They secrete substances instead, which is different from excretion. Gland skin cells are so called excitable cells, which can transform chemical work into physical. So, for instance, a nerve signal or membrane polarisation can cause glands to secrete the stuff inside.
What hormone is released by the kidneys?
Hmmm. I do not believe the kidneys excrete hormones. They filter the blood and excrete urine into the bladder. But no hormones. Ayraayra: The kindey's secrete Erythropoietin and Calcitriol.
What is the difference between beta cells and acinar cells?
Beta cells are found in the pancreas and secrete insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. Acinar cells, also found in the pancreas, secrete digestive enzymes that help break down food in the intestines. Beta cells are involved in blood sugar regulation, while acinar cells are involved in digestion.
