Exocrine glands are named apocrine glands, holocrine glands, or merocrine glands based on how their products are secreted.

  • Merocrine secretion – cells excrete their substances by exocytosis into a duct; for example, pancreatic acinar cells, maximum sweat glands of humans, goblet cells, intestinal glands, tear glands, etc.
  • Apocrine secretion – a portion of the cell membrane that contains the excretion buds off. Examples are sweat glands of arm pits, pubic region, skin around ****, lips and nipples; mammary glands, etc.
  • Holocrine secretion – the entire cell disintegrates to excrete its substance; for example, sebaceous glands of the skin and nose, meibomian gland, zeis gland, etc.
