Apocrinesweatglands actually use a merocrine type secretion, or that mediated by exocytosis of secretory granules.

Image Apocrine.jpg thumb 300px Apocrine gland Exocrine secretion Apocrine is a term used to classify exocrine glands in the study of histology . Cells which are classified as apocrine bud their secretions off through the plasma membrane producing membrane bound vesicles in the Lumen anatomy lumen . Apocrineglands are a type of exocrine gland that are present in areas such as the axillae armpits , areola , in the perineum genital areas , around the belly button and in the external auditory canal as wax secreting glands . Specialized types of apocrineglands present on the eyelids are called Moll s glands . Apocrinesweatglands are inactive until they are stimulated by hormonal changes in puberty. Apocrineglands secrete a milky, viscous odourless fluid which only develops a strong odour when it comes into contact with bacteria on the skin surface. Apocrineglands secrete this fluid by a method called decapitation secretion . The apical portion of the secretory cell of the gland pinches off and enters the lumen of the gland. In contrast to this mechanism of secretion, Eccrine glands secrete by a method called merocrine secretion and sebaceous glands secrete by a method called holocrine secretion. Apocrinesweatglands are mainly thought to function as olfactory pheromones , chemicals important in attracting a potential mate.

Their ducts unite into a rather long Sinus anatomy sinus which open into the fornix conjunctiva. There are approximately forty Krause glands in the region of the upper eyelid, and around 6 to 8 in the region of the lower lid. The function of these glands are to produce tears which are secreted onto the surface of the conjuctiva. There are rare instances of tumor s associated with Krause s glands.

They are located in the upper border of the tarsus eyelids tarsus , approximately in the middle between the extremities of the tarsal glands . Sometimes they are situated slightly above the tarsus. There are usually 2 to 5 of these gland s in the upper eyelid, and their function is to produce tears which are secreted onto the surface of the conjunctiva . They are named after Italian anatomist Giuseppe Vincenzo Ciaccio 1824 1901 , who described these glands in 1874. They are sometimes called Wolfring s glands after Polish ophthalmologist Emilj von Wolfring 1832 1906 , who described them during the same time period as did Ciaccio.
