Gland practice: Identify the structural class of each gland described here: 1. Flask-shaped gland, unbranched ducts 2. Slender, straight gland, unbranched ducts 3. Combination of gland shapes Most exocrine glands are apocrine, which means they release secretions by exocytosis. Holocrine glands store secretions until the cells rupture. Ruptured cells are replaced through mitosis. Sweat glands are an example of holocrine glands. The mammary gland is the most likely example of an apocrine gland. Using the key choices, correctly identify the types of glands described below. Enter the appropriate answers in the answer blanks. Key Choices: A. Endocrine B. Exocrine C. Neither of these 1. Duct from this gland type carries secretions to target organ or location. 2. Examples are the thyroid and adrenal glands. 3. Glands secrete regulatory hormones directly into blood or lymph. 4. The more numerous of the two types of glands. 5. Duct from ovary that carries ovum (egg) to uterus. 6. Glands which produce digestive enzymes.

There are three types of exocrine glands that differ in terms of how they discharge their secretions. For each gland shown below, select how much of the cell is destroyed during secretion (none, some, or all), and then name the gland. Pinched off portion of cell is the secretion How much is destroyed? [Select ] Name [Select ] merocrine holocrine apocrine

Drag each label to the type of gland it describes (sebaceous glands or sudoriferous glands): - Merocrine: secrete products via exocytosis - Sweat secreting: secrete products mostly onto hair follicles - Holocrine: oil producing - Apocrine: secrete products via apoptosis
