Where can you find glandular epithelium? glands
What is an exocrine gland? a gland that secretes its product into ducts that open onto surfaces (exo=exit)
What is an endocrine gland? a gland that secretes its product into tissue fluid or blood
What is a merocrine gland? a gland that releases fluid by exocytosis
Name a merocrine gland salivary gland, pancreatic glands, sweat glands
What is an apocrine gland? a gland that loses a small portion of the glandular cell bodies during secretion
