Holocrine
Holocrine is a term used to classify the mode of secretion in exocrine glands in the study of histology. Holocrine secretions are produced in the cytoplasm of the cell and released by the rupture of the plasma membrane, which destroys the cell and results in the secretion of the product into the lumen.
Holocrine secretion is the most damaging type of secretion, with merocrine secretion being the least damaging and apocrine secretion falling in between.
Examples of holocrine glands include the sebaceous glands of the skin and the meibomian glands of the eyelid. The sebaceous gland is an example of a holocrine gland because its product of secretion (sebum) is released with remnants of dead cells.

Hollow Crown
by: ArchitectsThere, there must be
An easier way
To release these feelings
So, so far from home
I need your voice
To hold my head together
So, so far from home
I need your voice
To lift my lonely state of mind
You, you can but wait
for me to return
For me to show you how I felt
These wounds have bled
And pages fly by
I need to feel you right by my side
So, so far from home
I need your voice
To hold my head together
So, So far from home
I need your voice
To lift my lonely state of mind
Oh there must be
An easier way
Oh there must be
An easier way
Oh there must be
An easier way
To release these feelings
As the sea breeze hits my lungs
It takes me back to where I belong
To where I belong
As the sea breeze hits my lungs
It takes me back to where I belong
To where I belong
As the sea breeze hits my lungs
It takes me back to where I belong
