sweat Gl Oil Gl Salivary glands External ear Ovary & testis

Glandular classification

According to: • Presence and absence of ducts.• Number of secretory cells.• Nature of secretion.• Mode of secretion.• Shape of secretory units & Arrangement of

Duct (branching in exocrine structure).

1 .Presence and absence of ducts

Salivary gland (Exocrine)

Thyroid gland (Endocrine)

Pancreas gland (Mixed)

2 .Number of secretory cells

First: Unicellular Exocrine (ex: Goblet cells)

First: Unicellular Endocrine (ex: Enteroendocrine cells)

Second: MulticellularExocrine (ex: Endometrial glands)

Second: MulticellularEndocrine (ex: Thyroid gland)

3 .Nature of secretion

4 .Mode of secretion

5 .Shape of secretory units & Arrangement of Duct

Gland as a compact organ
