An exocrine gland is a gland that secretes substances intended to be expelled from the body into the external environment, that is to say for example in the skin, the digestive tract or the respiratory tree. The exocrine glands deliver their secretion via an excretory duct. Some examples of the exocrine gland are salivary glands, sweat gland. mucous gland.

They are distinguished from endocrine glands that directly release their secretions into the bloodstream at the blood capillaries (still inside the body).

Some exocrine glands also have a role of endocrine gland, they are called amphicrine glands (like pancreas).

Which of the following organelles assembles proteins? ribosomes Golgi apparatus nuclear envelope or endoplasmic reticulum

Artist 52 [7]

The right answer is Ribosomes

The ribosome is a complex composed of RNA and ribosomal proteins, associated with a membrane (in the granular endoplasmic reticulum) or free in the cytoplasm. Common to all cells (prokaryotes and eukaryotes), the ribosome (and especially its composition) varies according to the organisms, even if it is always composed of two distinct subunits.

The ribosome is a huge ribonucleoprotein complex that allows the translation of mRNAs into proteins.
