manner of secretion
merocrine





























merocrine (or eccrine) is a term used to classify exocrine glands and their secretions in the study of histology. a cell is classified as merocrine if the secretions of that cell are excreted via exocytosis from secretory cells into an epithelial-walled duct or ducts and then onto a bodily surface or into the lumen.





























merocrine is the most common manner of secretion. the gland releases its product and no part of the gland is lost or damaged (compare holocrine and apocrine).





























the term eccrine is specifically used to designate merocrine secretions from sweat glands (eccrine sweat glands).

merocrine
holocrine





























holocrine is a term used to classify the mode of secretion in exocrine glands in the study of histology. holocrine secretions are produced in the cytoplasm of the cell and released by the rupture of the plasma membrane, which destroys the cell and results in the secretion of the product into the lumen.





























holocrine gland secretion is the most damaging (to the cell itself and not to the host which begot the cell) type of secretion, with merocrine secretion being the least damaging and apocrine secretion falling in between.
