Most exocrine glands of the body are merocrine glands. |
| Apocrine glands apo- =from | accumulate their secretory product at the apical surface of the secreting cell.then that portion of the cell pinches off from the rest of the cell to release the secretion |

| eccrine=merocrine sweat glands this sweat may be lost as insensible perspiration or sensible perspiration | numerous, which have an excretory duct that opens at a pore at the surface of the epidermis; the sweat secreted by these glands helps to cool the body by evaporating, n also eliminates small amounts of wastes. |
