What are the classifications of glands based on morphologic characteristics?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking for information regarding the classification of glands based on their morphologic characteristics. It outlines the types of glands, such as unicellular, multicellular, simple, and compound glands, along with specific examples of each type.
Answer
Unicellular and multicellular (simple, compound) glands.
Glands are classified based on their morphologic characteristics into unicellular glands (e.g., goblet cells) and multicellular glands, which can be further categorized as simple glands (simple tubular, coiled tubular, branched tubular, simple alveolar, simple tubulo-alveolar) and compound glands (compound tubular, compound alveolar, compound tubule-alveolar).
Answer for screen readers
Glands are classified based on their morphologic characteristics into unicellular glands (e.g., goblet cells) and multicellular glands, which can be further categorized as simple glands (simple tubular, coiled tubular, branched tubular, simple alveolar, simple tubulo-alveolar) and compound glands (compound tubular, compound alveolar, compound tubule-alveolar).
More Information
Multicellular glands are further divided based on duct structure (simple vs. compound) and shape of secretory units (tubular, alveolar, tubulo-alveolar).
