The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of multicellular gland described, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question describes a multicellular gland with a rounded secretory part, a single unbranched duct, and mentions that it is found mainly in sebaceous glands. 2. **Identifying Gland Types**: Multicellular glands can be classified based on two criteria: - The branching of their ducts (branched or unbranched). - The shape of their secretory part (tubular or rounded). 3. **Analyzing Duct Structure**: - Since the question specifies that the gland has a **single unbranched duct**, we categorize it as a **simple gland**. 4. **Analyzing Secretory Part Shape**: - The secretory part is described as **rounded**. Glands with a rounded secretory part are referred to as **acinar glands**. 5. **Combining Classifications**: - Since the gland is simple (unbranched duct) and acinar (rounded secretory part), we combine these terms to describe the gland as a **simple acinar gland**. 6. **Considering Branching**: - The question also mentions that the secretory part is branched. Therefore, we need to adjust our classification to **simple branched acinar gland**. 7. **Final Conclusion**: - The gland described in the question is a **simple branched acinar gland**, which is characteristic of sebaceous glands. ### Final Answer: The type of gland is a **simple branched acinar gland**. ---
