Explanation:
Most glands are formed during development by proliferation of epithelial cells so that they project into the underlying connective tissue. Some glands retain their continuity with the surface via a duct and are known as EXOCRINE GLANDS.
They are cube shaped cells found in kidney tubules,ducts of salivary glands. They act as gland cell ie secrete substances at the epithelial surface. Sometimes a portion of tissue folds inwards and a multicellular gland is formed. This is called glandular epithelium.
