Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A highly branched gland whose walls do not balloon into spherical sacs is called "compound tubular." "Compound alveolar" would refer to a highly branched gland whose walls balloon into spherical sacs. "Compound tubuloalveolar" would refer to a gland that has both tubular and alveolar secretory units. "Simple branched alveolar" would refer to a gland that has only one unbranched duct and spherical sacs as its secretory units.
