Merokriiniseen

Merokriiniseen refers to a type of exocrine gland secretion where the secretory cell remains intact during the release of its products. This is in contrast to apocrine and holocrine secretion. In merokriiniseen secretion, the product, typically a fluid or a watery substance, is packaged into vesicles within the cell. These vesicles then move to the cell membrane, fuse with it, and release their contents through exocytosis. The cell itself is not damaged or destroyed in this process and can continue to function. Examples of merokriiniseen glands include salivary glands and sweat glands. The secretions released by these glands often serve functions such as lubrication, digestion, or thermoregulation. The merokriiniseen mode of secretion is the most common type of exocrine secretion found in the body. It allows for continuous and efficient production of glandular products without compromising the integrity of the secretory cells. This method is crucial for maintaining the ongoing functions of various physiological systems that rely on exocrine secretions.
