Microscopic Anatomy Of The Gland

Question 1

During fetal development epithelial cells proliferate and penetrate the underlying connective tissue and differentiate into

Answer 1

glandular epithelial tissue.

Question 2

If secretion from the glandular tissue reach to the surface of the lining or covering epithelium by a duct lined with epithelium,

Answer 2

then gland is called exocrine gland.

Question 3

The glandular tissue if loses its connection with lining epithelium from which it developed, and then it develops into
