Answer:
Exocrine glands secrete their secretions through ducts onto our body's surface whereas endocrine glands secrete their secretions directly into the bloodstream.
Explanation:
Difference between endocrine and exocrine glands are as follows:
Endocrine Glands
- Endocrine glands are also called as ductless gland.
- They secrete hormones which are necessary for the coordination of our activities. These hormones are directly secreted into the blood to circulate throughout our body.
- Ducts: These glands do not have ducts.
- Secretory Products: Hormones Sweat, enzymes, mucus, sebum
- Route of Secretion: Secretory products are usually released directly into the bloodstream and then eventually reaching the target organ.
- Examples of endocrine glands: Thyroid glands, parathyroid glands, pituitary glands, adrenal glands.
Exocrine Glands
- Exocrine gland is a gland that secretes its secretion on the surface or into a particular region with the help of ducts for performing a metabolic activity.
- Ducts: These glands have ducts.
- Secretory Products: Sweat, enzymes, mucus, sebum
- Route of Secretion: Secretory products are usually released to an internal organ or the external surface through a duct.
- Examples of exocrine glands: Salivary glands, pancreas, liver, Brunner’s glands, oesophageal glands.
