  6. 13. Man's best friend
  7. 14. The process by which cells take in substances from the external environment by engulfing them in the cell membrane.
  8. 16. vesicles: Intracellular vesicles that merge with the cell membrane during exocytosis to release their contents into the extracellular space.
  9. 17. The process by which cells take in substances from the external environment by engulfing them in the cell membrane.
  10. 20. exocytosis: The continuous release of substances from cells, which occurs in most cells to maintain cell membrane integrity.
  11. 21. exocytosis: The release of substances from cells in response to a signal, such as the release of neurotransmitters from nerve cells.

  13. 24. Has a trunk
  14. 27. aggregates: Groups of cells that work together to perform a specific function.
  15. 28. A hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates glucose metabolism in the body.
  16. 29. A type of secretion in which the entire cell becomes packed with the secretory product and then ruptures, releasing the substance into the surrounding tissue.

  1. 1. The process by which substances, such as enzymes or hormones, are produced and released by cells or glands.
  2. 3. gland: A type of gland that releases substances, such as enzymes or sweat, through ducts that lead to the external environment or into internal organs.
  3. 5. Refers to glands that secrete substances, such as enzymes, through ducts that lead to the external environment or into internal organs.
  4. 6. A type of endocytosis in which cells take in small amounts of fluid and dissolved substances from the extracellular environment.
  5. 8. Specialized organs or tissues that produce and secrete substances for specific functions in the body.
  6. 10. endocytosis: A type of endocytosis in which cells take up specific molecules by binding to receptors on the cell membrane.
  7. 12. Likes to chase mice
  8. 15. membrane: The surface of epithelial cells that faces the external environment or a body cavity, involved in secretion, absorption, and protection
  9. 18. A type of endocytosis in which cells engulf large particles or microorganisms and digest them.
  10. 19. cells: Cells that line the surfaces of organs and body cavities, and are involved in secretion, absorption, and protection.
  11. 22. gland: A type of exocrine gland that releases substances through exocytosis without any loss of cytoplasm.
  12. 25. An organ that produces digestive enzymes and hormones, including insulin and glucagon, involved in regulating blood sugar levels.
  13. 26. A type of secretion in which part of the cell membrane, along with the secretory product, is shed from the cell.
