Merocrine glands are a type of exocrine glands that secrete their products by exocytosis without losing any part of their cytoplasm. They are found in various tissues such as salivary glands, sweat glands, and pancreas. Their secretion is released via ducts to the surface of the skin or into body cavities.


Holocrine glands release their secretions when cells burst What is this process called?

This process is called holocrine secretion, where the entire cell containing the secretory product ruptures to release its contents. This differs from merocrine secretion, where secretory products are released through exocytosis without cell damage.


What is it that communicates with the merocrine glands?

The nervous system communicates with the merocrine glands to regulate their function. Nerve impulses trigger the release of sweat from merocrine glands in response to various stimuli such as heat, stress, or physical activity.


What skin layer contain sweat glands?

Which of the glands types merocine or holocrine would be expected to have the highest rate of cell division and why?

Holocrine glands are a type of secretory gland where the secretory product is formed inside the cytoplasm and the secretion is released by the disruption of the plasma membrane and destruction of the cell. Therefore, holocrine is the answer because it is a secretory gland and cells are lost in the secretion, thus needing continuous reproduction.
