Q

Simple gland is unbrunched duct and compounded glands are branched duct

A

yes

17
Q

The 3 secretory units

A

Tublar, alveolar, tubulalveolar

18
Q

tublar, alveolar, tubulalveolar form what

A

t= forms tubes
a= forms sacs
t= contains both types

19
Q

Modes of secretion is

A

merocrine gland, holocrine gland, apocrine gland

20
Q

merocrine gland forms what

A

salivary, sweat, pancreas - secretes their product by exocytosis gland not altered

21
Q

holocrine gland forms what

A

sebaceous oil glands - cell ruptures from releasing secretion

22
Q

apocrine gland forms what

A

pinches off and releases secretion and cell repairs its damage
