Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Holocrine glands are the only type of glands that self-destruct to complete their function by releasing their entire contents, including the cell membrane, as in the case of oil-producing glands in the skin. Endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream, merocrine glands release fluids through exocytosis, and apocrine glands release a portion of the cell body.
