Apocrine secretion corresponds to secretion in vesicles. This mode of secretion is relatively rare and occurs primarily in the apical sweat glands. In sweat gland abscess, the affected skin regions are inflamed and trigger fistula formation. What is apocrine secretion? The minor glands of the eyelid follow this mode of secretion, and when inflamed, stye … Apocrine Secretion: Function, Role & Diseases
In apocytosis, the membrane of a glandular cell is sequestered along with the secretion in containers. This is a secretory mode of apocrine glands that is a special form of exocytosis and primarily affects the mammary gland. Disorders of hormonal balance may alter apocytosis behavior. What is apocytosis? It is a secretion mode of apocrine … Apocytosis: Function, Role & Diseases
In holocrine secretion, glandular cells themselves become a component of a secretion by perishing during secretion. Such a mechanism is present in the human organism in the secretion of sebum. Both overproduction and underproduction of sebum can be pathological. What is holocrine secretion? Holocrine secretion is found, for example, in human sebaceous glands. The secreting … Holocrine Secretion: Function, Role & Diseases
The milk-forming reflex, along with the milk ejection reflex, is one of the lactation reflexes that mammals use to nourish their offspring and are stimulated by direct contact with the offspring. For the lactation reflex, the hormone prolactin from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland plays the main role. In the case of hormone … Lactic Reflex: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Exocrine secretion is the release of a secretion to the internal or external surface. This type of secretion is present, for example, in the sweat or salivary glands. Sjögren’s syndrome is an example of diseases that destroy the exocrine glands. What is exocrine secretion? Exocrine secretion is the release of a secretion onto the internal … Exocrine Secretion: Function, Role & Diseases
Eccrine secretion is a mode of exocrine secretion, such as that followed in the salivary glands. Eccrine secretion is released via exocytosis without any cell loss. Overproduction or underproduction of eccrine secretions refers to various primary diseases. What is eccrine secretion? The large sweat glands in the genital and axillary areas also perform eccrine secretion. … Eccrine Secretion: Function, Role & Diseases
Glands or gland-like cells release a substance into the body during secretion. The secretion is released either internally via blood pathways or externally via glandular pathways. Overproduction of certain secretions is called hypersecretion, whereas underproduction is called hyposecretion. What is secretion? Many secretions are also used for digestion, such as the secretion of digestive enzymes … Secretion: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
