Answer:

Explanation:

They are located at the armpits, anogenital regions,ear canal,eye lids, areola and nipples of the breast.

This gland secretions is not continuous, but in periodic fashion. The components of the secretion are protein,lipids, steroids. The secretion is usually odorless and Oily in nature. However  this changed when mixed with bacterial or germs on exposure to the skin surface.

At the base of the hair follicles are the sebacious glands which produced sebum. Therefore as the apocrine secretion leaves the secretory ducts, they are mixed with sebum to reach the epidermal surface of the skin.

Svetach [21]
Reported or indirect speech is usually used to talk about the past, so we normally change the tense of the words spoken. We use reporting verbs like 'say', 'tell', 'ask', and we may use the word 'that' to introduce the reported words. Inverted commas are not used.

suter [353]

Answer:

C: autocrine

Explanation:

There are three types of hormones according to where their target cells are.

  • Endocrine: Their target cells are distributed far and they travel via blood to reach the target cells.
  • Paracrine: Their target cells are often their neighbors so they often diffuse to reach them
  • Autocrine: Their secretion acts on themselves. Hence they are their own targets.
