The gland then has the form of a sack or blind tube, derived from an inva- ginatioii of the epithelium, either of the inner or the outer surface of the body, into the subjacent tissue. From this fundamental form the larger and more complicated glands are to be derived, as the result of continued regular and irregular outgrowth. While their form presents great variations, they are universally characterised by the transformation of their terminal portion into a duct; this differentiation may also appear in the simple glandular tubes, and even in the unicellular glands (figs. 23, 24).
