If glands are categorized by shape, tubular glands contrast with alveolar glands. Tubular glands retain their shape as a tube throughout their length whereas alveolar glands have a saclike secretory portion.[1][2]
Tubular glands are further classified as one of the following types:
| Type | Description | Location | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 120px | simple tubular or simple straight tubular[3] or straight tubular[4] |
the gland is a uniform tube | large intestine (Crypts of Lieberkühn), uterine glands |
| 120px | coiled tubular or simple coiled tubular[5] |
the gland is coiled without losing its tubular form | sweat glands |
| 120px | simple branched tubular[6] or compound tubular[7] |
branching occurs in the tubes | pyloric glands of stomach |
