Question
what is the structural classification of the sebaceous or oil glands in the skin? options: compound alveolar, simple branched tubular, simple branched alveolar, simple coiled tubular, i dont know yet
Sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin are classified as simple branched alveolar glands. They have a branched structure and alveolar (sac - like) secretory units. Compound alveolar glands have multiple branches and alveolar units but sebaceous glands are simple (not compound) with branched alveolar structure. Simple branched tubular glands have tubular secretory units (not alveolar) and simple coiled tubular are coiled (like sweat glands). So the correct classification is simple branched alveolar.
