Simple, branched acinar gland
The acinus of this sebaceous gland is associated with a hair follicle. The gland releases its product by the holocrine mode of secretion. Cells at the periphery proliferate and move toward the center of the acinus as they accumulate their secretory product and degenerate. The whole cell or its entire contents are released onto the hair follicle as sebum. Skin 400x
