Salivary glands are classified as merocrine glands, which means they secrete their products (in this case, saliva) through exocytosis without damaging the secretory cells. Therefore, if a person is unable to form saliva, it is likely due to a malfunction or absence of their merocrine salivary glands. Holocrine and apocrine glands are not involved in salivary secretion.
