MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Secretion: Epithelial tissue in your glands (glandular epithelium) can secrete (release) enzymes, hormones and fluids. Absorption: The epithelial lining of your internal organs, such as your liver and lungs, can allow the absorption of certain substances.

Detailed explanation-2: -Exocrine glands release their contents through a duct that leads to the epithelial surface. Mucous, sweat, saliva, and breast milk are all examples of secretions from exocrine glands. They are all discharged through tubular ducts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Exocrine glands release their secretory products into a duct which opens into a specific part of the body (e.g. skin, stomach, respiratory tract). Some examples of exocrine glands include the sweat glands, salivary glands, and lacrimal glands, among others.

Detailed explanation-4: -exocrine gland A gland that discharges its secretion into a body cavity (such as the gut) or onto the body surface. Examples are the sebaceous and sweat glands, the mammary glands, and part of the pancreas.
