1.	What is glandular epithelium? Describe it\'s types and mention it\'s significance.
Answer» \tGlandular epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue which covers the glands (both exocrine and endocrine) of our body.\xa0Their main function is secretion.\xa0Both endocrine and exocrine glands produce their secretions through the glandular epithelium via special cells called goblet cells.\xa0\tGlandular epithelium in the reproductive tract is called endocervical glandular epithelium and helps in sexual functions by secreting lubricating fluid during sexual excitation.\t\xa0The glandular\xa0epithelium also lines the intestine where it helps in the absorption of nutrients. Thus it aids in digestion.\xa0Thus glandular epithelium is a multifunctional tissue that combines with other tissues to perform vital functions of the body.
