Explanation: A simple gland has an unbranched duct (or no duct at all). There is only a single secretory unit (acinus or tubule). Examples include sweat glands, gastric glands, intestinal crypts, and uterine glands. A compound gland has a branching duct. Salivary glands and pancreas are familiar examples.
An organ that makes one or more substances, such as hormones, digestive juices, sweat, tears, saliva, or milk. Endocrine glands release the substances directly into the bloodstream. Exocrine glands release the substances into a duct or opening to the inside or outside of the body.
