Question

What is glandular tissue and how is it formed?

Answer 1

Glandular tissues are a type of epithelium tissue whose cells are meant for secretions like sweat, oil, hormones etc.

Sometimes a portion of the epithelial tissue folds inwards giving rise to multicellular gland called glandular epithelium. Glandular epithelium cells secrete substances like enzymes, hormones, milk, mucus, sweat, wax and saliva at the epithelial surface.
