Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is in contrast to exocrine glands, which secrete their products into ducts that carry the products to the body's surface or into body cavities, such as sweat glands or salivary glands. Merocrine glands are a type of exocrine gland that secrete their products via exocytosis.
