Secretory Epithelia & Glands Classification Quiz

They are capable of synthesizing, storing, and releasing proteins, lipids, or carbohydrate-protein complexes

They function mainly to produce and secrete various macromolecules

Mammary glands secrete proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates

The epithelial cells have a primary function of facilitating absorption (correct)

Glands with secretory portions that are tubular and acinar

Glands with ducts that are not branched

Glands with ducts that have two or more branches (correct)

Glands with secretory portions that are only tubular

Endocrine glands remain connected with the surface epithelium through ducts

Glands develop from covering epithelia in the fetus by cell proliferation and growth into the underlying connective tissue, followed by differentiation (correct)

Exocrine glands lose the connection to their original epithelium, and therefore, have no ducts

Glands develop independently from the covering epithelia in the fetus
