Merocrine secretion has several clinical implications: - Hyperhidrosis: An overactive condition of eccrine sweat glands leading to excessive sweating. - Cystic Fibrosis: Affects the merocrine glands in the pancreas, leading to improper secretion of digestive enzymes. - Salivary Gland Disorders: Conditions like Sjögren's syndrome affect the merocrine function of salivary glands, leading to dry mouth.
