The type of exocrine gland that forms its secretory product and simply releases it from the cell by exocytosis is called a merocrine gland.

Here's why:

* Merocrine glands are the most common type of exocrine gland. They release their secretions directly through the cell membrane via exocytosis without any loss of cell cytoplasm.

* Apocrine glands release their secretions by pinching off a portion of the cell's cytoplasm, along with the secretory product.

* Holocrine glands release their secretions by the entire cell disintegrating, releasing the contents along with the cell debris.

Examples of merocrine glands include:

* Salivary glands

* Sweat glands (eccrine)

* Pancreas (secretes digestive enzymes)

* Gastric glands (secretes gastric juices)
