  1. D) Stratified cuboidal

    The lining of the duct is two layers of cells.

    Also can include C) if you include the myoepithelium cells which assist in contraction. They are found in the secretory portion of the gland, but are not found in the duct wall


  2. Two types -see link.

    The secretory portion is comprised of larger cells than the duct.  These cells form a simple cuboidal epithelium, along with interspersed myoepithelial cells (which can expel sweat by contraction).

    Cells comprising the duct, or conducting portion of the tubule, usually form a two-layered stratified cuboidal epithelium.
