ACCORDING TO MORPHOLOGY (based on duct branching):
Mammary gland
Compound saccular
ACCORDING TO NUMBER:
single cell functioning as a gland
Unicellular
ACCORDING TO NUMBER:
Ex. Goblet cell
Unicellular

Multicellular
ACCORDING TO TYPES OR NATURE OF SECRETIONS:
Watery secretion, often rich in enzymes
Serous
ACCORDING TO TYPES OR NATURE OF SECRETIONS:
Individual cells have:
- Round nucleus near the base
- Dark basophilic
- Pyramidal in shape
Serous
ACCORDING TO TYPES OR NATURE OF SECRETIONS:
Thick viscous secretion
Mucuos
ACCORDING TO TYPES OR NATURE OF SECRETIONS:
Individual cells have:
- Pyramidal
- Elongated nucleus at base
- Light-staining cytoplasm
Mucuos
ACCORDING TO TYPES OR NATURE OF SECRETIONS:
Both cell types are present in a single alveolus
Seromucous
ACCORDING TO TYPES OR NATURE OF SECRETIONS:
Serous secreting cells are found in the periphery of a mucuos alveoli
Seromucous
ACCORDING TO TYPES OR NATURE OF SECRETIONS:
So called serous demilunes of Gianuzzi
Seromucous
