To Which of the Following is Glandular Epithelium Most Related

Question

To which of the following is glandular epithelium most related?
A) Endocrine and exocrine
B) Striated and smooth
C) Neuronal and glial
D) Periosteum and pericardial

Accepted Answer

Glandular epithelium is specialized to produce and secrete substances, both into ducts (exocrine) and into the bloodstream (endocrine). Therefore, glandular epithelium is related to both endocrine and exocrine glands. Striated and smooth refer to the types of muscle tissue, neuronal and glial refer to the types of cells found in the nervous system, and periosteum and pericardial refer to the connective tissues found in bones and the heart, respectively, which are not directly related to glandular epithelium.
