Illustration showing the three types of exocrine secretion (left to right): Merocine, Apocrine, and Holocrine. In Merocine secretion, the cell stays intact; in Apocrine secretion, the pinched off portion of the cell is the secretion; and in Holocrine, the mature cell dies and becomes the secretory product.
