Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mammary glands are a specific example of apocrine glands, which are a type of gland that releases its secretions by pinching off a portion of the cell, which then becomes part of the secretion. This is different from merocrine glands, which secrete directly through the cell membrane, and holocrine glands, where the entire cell disintegrates to release its secretion. Sebaceous glands are a type of holocrine gland and not directly related to the function of mammary glands.
