Glandular Epithelium
Glandular Epithelium: are formed by epithelial cells specialized to produce a fluid
secretion.
A gland is one or more cells that produce and secrete a specific product into ducts or
into body fluids.
Classifications of glands:
1-depending on presence and absence of duct into:
Endocrine Glands Exocrine Glands
Without ducts With ducts
secreted products directly into the NOT released into the blood but to the free
blood. e.g. adrenal gland surface of the skin or of the open cavities of the
body such as the digestive tract.e.g. sweat
gland

2-Depending on the number of cells exocrine gland classified to:


Unicellular glands Multicellular glands:
consists of one cell consists of many cells
no ducts but secrete their products directly on with ducts to connect to the free surface
the free surface e.g. goblet cell e.g. sebaceous gland
Multicellular exocrine gland classified as following:
1-According to branched and un-branched duct:
A- Simple (unbranched duct). B- Compound (branched duct)
2- According to the shape of secretory portion :

3- According to the mode of Secretions:

Merocrine gland Apocrine gland Holocrine gland
Secretion is done by a small portion of the The secretion is done by
Exocytosis apical cytoplasm Loss of entire cell with
discharged with the secretory product
secretory products
Keeps all of their cytoplasm Growth and repair Cell bursts and dies
Salivary glands Mammary glands Sebaceous glands of the
skin

4-According to the nature of secretion multicellular


exocrine gland classified into:
Mucous gland Serous gland Muco-serous gland (mixed gland)

Secret mucus. Secret enzymes. Contains both serous and


the nuclei are basally acini polyhedral or mucous, serous cells cap
located and flattened, pyramidal, with round, mucous cells.
acini cuboidal or centrally located nuclei.
columnar in shape
lumen is larger than Small lumen Found in submandibular 
serous.
Example is Found in pancreas (dark
sublingual gland. stained)
(light stained)
