4.3.1 Classify exocrine glands by cell number, duct branching, secretory unit shape (tubular, alveolar, tubuloalveolar), secretion type (serous, mucous) and mode of secretion (merocrine, apocrine, holocrine).

Why this video

This lecture directly covers the histological classification of exocrine glands by branching, secretory unit shape, serous versus mucous nature, and merocrine, apocrine, and holocrine secretion.

Heads up

Remember that this course treats acinar and alveolar as interchangeable synonyms in classification.
