unicellular
The secretory epithelium is a part of the skin and associated with the sweat glands.
Simple glands, such as simple tubular or simple coiled glands, do not branch before reaching the secretory portion. These glands consist of a single unbranched duct that connects directly to the secretory portion.
Bowman's glands, also known as olfactory glands, occur in the olfactory epithelium. These glands secrete mucus that helps to moisten and protect the olfactory epithelium, as well as provide a medium for odor molecules to dissolve in, allowing for olfaction, or the sense of smell.
The glands that produce secretions formed simply by secretory cells are known as unicellular glands, with goblet cells being the most common example. These cells are specialized for secretion and are found in various epithelial tissues, particularly in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Other examples include certain types of mucous glands that consist primarily of secretory cells without complex duct systems.
Stratified cuboidal epithelium would be found lining the ducts that drain sweat glands. This type of epithelium provides protection and allows for secretion and absorption in these ducts.

Tropins regulate the secretory action of other endocrine glands.
Endocrinology is the branch of biology and medicine that deals with the study of internal secretory glands and the hormones they produce.

Exocrine Glands
Glandular epithelium is formed through a process called glandular differentiation, where epithelial cells undergo specialized changes to become glandular cells. This differentiation involves the expression of specific genes that regulate the formation and function of glands within the epithelial tissue. The glandular epithelium is characterized by the presence of secretory cells that produce and release substances such as hormones, enzymes, or mucus.
Epithelium is a layer of animal tissue. It can be found in the lining of certain organs and glands in the body.
This type of epithelium is frequently found in glands, and the pancreas, where its function is secretion.
A gland is a group of specialized epithelial cells that can produce secretions, such as hormones or enzymes, that are released into the bloodstream or a duct. Examples include sweat glands, salivary glands, and oil glands.

The secretory product of sudoriferous glands, also known as sweat glands, is sweat. Sweat is primarily composed of water, salts, and small amounts of other substances such as urea and ammonia. It helps regulate body temperature by evaporating from the skin's surface.
