What kind of tissue produce glands?
Epithelial, for it has a glandular subdivisions.Epithelial TissueEpithelial Tissue's main purpose is to cover surfaces, and line the cavities. This means it also works with glands, glands are groups of cells specialized to produce a substance that is sent out to other parts of the body.There are two types of glands that go with Epithelial Tissue:1) Exocrine glands: these are the ducts that carry out the secretion, such as sweat, or oil for your hair follicles.2) Endocrine Glands: This depends on the blood flowing through the duct to carry the secretions to another organ. These secretions are hormones.Thus meaning that since the Endocrine Glands go with the Epithelial tissue it means that Epithelial tissue forms hormones.
