Question

a gland that has branched ducts and secretory cells that form sacs at one end of the ducts (see image) are classified as ____________ glands.
compound acinar
areolar
compound tubuloacinar
simple acinar
simple coiled tubular
question 7 (1 point)
________ glands (such as tear glands) have vesicles that release their secretion via exocytosis. ________ glands (such as oil - producing glands) secrete a mixture of disintegrated cells and their products.
mucous; cutaneous
mucous; serous
eccrine; holocrine

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. For the first question, glands with branched ducts and secretory - cells forming sacs (acini) at one end of the ducts are called compound acinar glands. Simple acinar glands have unbranched ducts. Compound tubuloacinar glands have a combination of tubular and acinar structures. Areolar is a type of connective tissue, not a gland type. Simple coiled tubular glands have coiled tubular structures, not branched ducts with acini.
  2. For the second question, eccrine glands (like tear glands) release their secretion via exocytosis. Holocrine glands (like oil - producing glands) secrete a mixture of disintegrated cells and their products. Mucous glands secrete mucus, cutaneous refers to the skin, serous glands secrete a watery fluid.

Answer:

  1. A. compound acinar
  2. C. Eccrine; Holocrine
