Question

Give 4 differences between endocrine and exocrine glands.

Answer 1

An endocrine gland secretes its products, for example hormones, directly into the blood. An example of an endocrine gland is the adrenal gland which secretes adenaline made in the adrenal medulla directly into the blood.

An exocrine gland secretes its products for example enzymes, into ducts that lead to the target tissue. For example the salivary gland secretes saliva into the collecting duct which leads to the mouth.

It's important to note that the pancreas performs both endocrine and exocrine functions. It releases insulin and glucagon directly into the blood (endocrine) and also secretes pancreatic fluid into the pacreatic duct which leads to the duodenum (exocrine).

#Here's Ur answer

Endocrine Glands:

- They produce and secretes Hormones directly into the bloodstream.

- As the word suggests, "Endo" means Inside + "Crine" means to secrete, therefore Endocrine means = To Secrete Inside.

- Located away from the target.

- Examples = Pineal Gland, Pituitary Gland, Hypothalamus etc.

Exocrine Glands:

- They produce and secretes the enzymes onto an epithelial surface by the way of a duct.

- As the word suggests, "Exo" means Outside + "Crine" means to secrete, therefore Exocrine means = To secrete Outside.

- Located over the target to pour the secretion.

- Examples = Sweat Glands, Salivary Glands, Mammary Glands etc.
