Q

Describe the characteristic of epithelial tissues

A

Made up of tightly packed cells containing little intercellular material, generally lack blood vessels, and are replaced frequently. They tend to have prominent nuclei when views under the microscope.

Glands that secret products into ducts and blood are called...?
Exocrine glands
29
Glands that secrete into body fluids and blood are called...?
Endocrine glands
