Assertion (A): Pancreas is a merocrine gland.
Reason (R): The apical parts of the pancreatic cells are pinched off along with the secretory product.
Reason (R): The apical parts of the pancreatic cells are pinched off along with the secretory product.
Show Hint
- \( (A) \) and \( (R) \) are correct. \( (R) \) is the correct explanation of \( (A) \)
- \( (A) \) and \( (R) \) are correct, but \( (R) \) is not the correct explanation of \( (A) \)
- \( (A) \) is correct, but \( (R) \) is not correct
- \( (A) \) is not correct, but \( (R) \) is correct
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: The pancreas is indeed a merocrine gland, which means that the secretory product is released by exocytosis without losing any part of the cell. Step 2: The given reason states that the apical parts of the pancreatic cells are pinched off along with the secretory product. However, this statement is inaccurate for a merocrine gland, as merocrine glands do not lose any part of the cell during secretion.
