Simple, branched acinar gland
Another example of a simple branched acinar gland is the sebaceous gland. Multiple alveoli empty into a single, unbranched duct connected to the hair follicle. Sebaceous glands secrete sebum onto the hair shaft as well as onto the skin surface via the hair follicle. Sebum is an oily material that is released by the holocrine mode of secretion. Skin 200x
