Question

Type of tissue that forms glands is

• A. Epithelial
• B. Muscular
• C. Squamous
• D. Cuboidal

Answer 1

The correct option is D Cuboidal

It is the cuboidal epithelial tissue that gives rise to glands in the body. They line the surface of various ducts, glands and organs. This type of tissue is also known as glandular epithelium. For glands to develop, the cells in the epithelium undergo mitosis. These cells penetrate to the underlying connective tissue and form a tube. The bottom becomes the secretory part of the gland and the upper part becomes a duct if it is an exocrine gland.

So, the correct answer is 'Cuboidal'.
