🗑
show has alive cells. are synthesized on ribosomes attached to rough ER; processed, sorted, n packaged by the Golgi complex; n released from the cell in secretory vesicles via exocytosis. Most exocrine glands of the body are merocrine glands.  
🗑

🗑
show numerous, which have an excretory duct that opens at a pore at the surface of the epidermis; the sweat secreted by these glands helps to cool the body by evaporating, n also eliminates small amounts of wastes.
