Mention different gland of our body
Answers
Types of glands
Endocrine and exocrine glands serve very different purposes in the body.
Endocrine glands
Endocrine glands are part of your endocrine system. They make hormones and release them into your bloodstream. These hormones control a number of important functions in your body, such as:
your growth and development
metabolism
mood
reproduction
Your endocrine glands include:
adrenal glands
pituitary gland
hypothalamus
thyroid
pineal gland
There are also organs that contain endocrine tissue and act as glands. These include the:
pancreas
kidneys
ovaries
testes
Exocrine glands
Your exocrine glands produce other substances — not hormones — that are released through ducts to the exterior of your body, such as sweat, saliva, and tears.
The substances released by your exocrine glands play important roles in your body. They do things like help regulate your body temperature, protect your skin and eyes, and even help mothers feed babies by producing breast milk.
Your exocrine glands include:
salivary
sweat
mammary
sebaceous
lacrimal
Lymph nodes are often referred to as glands, but they’re not true glands. They’re part of your immune system and help your body fight infection.
