FIGURE 4.15 | Coiled Tubular Exocrine Glands:

Sweat Glands

Sebaceous glands in the skin are coiled tubular glands with long, unbranched
ducts (A and B). Note the secretory cells of the gland and the excretory duct,

which delivers the secretory product to the surface. Note also the transition from
single layer of cells in the secretory portion of the gland and the stratified
cuboidal epithelium in the excretory duct.
