Sjogren’s syndrome primarily targets which type of glands?

Show Answers

Glands that secrete substances through ducts (exocrine glands)Glands that release signals to nearby cells (paracrine glands)Glands that release hormones directly into the bloodstream (endocrine glands)Glands that act on the same cell that secretes them (autocrine glands)

Explanation

Sjogren’s syndrome mainly involves the exocrine glands, which are responsible for producing secretions such as saliva and tears through ducts. The other gland types—paracrine, endocrine, and autocrine—have different modes of action and are not primarily affected in this condition.
