Secretion

Secretion is the process by which cells, tissues, and organisms release substances, such as hormones, enzymes, and waste products, into the external environment. It is an essential biological process, playing a critical role in maintaining an organism's homeostasis. Secretion plays important roles in digestion, respiration, metabolism, excretion, and osmoregulation. It is also involved in cell-signaling and communication, production of immune proteins and hormones, and the formation of biofilms. Without secretion, cells would not be able to function properly and many organisms would not be able to survive.
