Causes of Iron-Deiciency Anemia Iron-deiciency anemia may develop because the bodyâs demand for iron is greater than its supply, because of low iron intake or poor iron absorption, or as a result of blood loss.
Apocrine sweat gland. An apocrine sweat gland (/ËÃ¦pÉkrÉn/, /ËÃ¦pÉËkraÉªn/, or /ËÃ¦pÉËkrin/, from Greek apoâ away and krinein to separate) is composed of a coiled secretory portion located at the junction of the dermis and subcutaneous fat, from which a straight portion inserts and secretes into the infundibular portion of the hair follicle.
Merocrine is the most common manner of secretion. The gland releases its product and no part of the gland is lost or damaged (compare holocrine and apocrine). The term eccrine is specifically used to designate merocrine secretions from sweat glands (eccrine sweat glands). Examples. Salivary glands; Pancreatic glands; Certain sweat gland
