Summary Introduction

To review:

The mode of glandular secretion when the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), RNA (ribonucleic acid), and membrane components are present.

Introduction:

The different modes of glandular secretion include the eccrine (merocrine), apocrine, and holocrine secretion. In the merocrine secretion, the cell is not destroyed and remains intact. Rather, the secretory product is packaged into secretory vesicles and is released onto surface of the cell through exocytosis. For example, secretions from globlet cells in the intestine. During the apocrine secretions, only the apical portion of the cell’s cytoplasm is shed off to release secretory product. For example, secretions from lactiferous cells of the mammary glands.

Epithelial sheets are classified by their number of cell layers and their cell shape. In the  following table, draw simplified illustrations of the eight classifications. In each illustration,  identify the cells, nuclei, and basement membrane. For the stratified epithelia, you only need to  draw two or three cell layers, as shown in the stratified cuboidal epithelium example provided in  the table. Simple squamous Stratified squamous  Simple cuboidal Stratified cuboidal  Simple columnar Stratified columnar  Pseudostratified columnar Transitional

All of the answers are correct O The sebaceous gland disintegrade when they release substances The cells in the sebaceous gland release oil by decapitation of the cell Sebaceous glands secrete substances via exocytosis
