what do you mean by endocrine glands?
Answers
Answer:
Endocrine glands are ductless glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones, directly into the blood. The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands.
Answer:
The endocrine glands do not have ducts to carry their product to a surface. They are also known as ductless gland. The word endocrine is derived from the Greek word "Endo", meaning within, and "krine", meaning to separate or secrete. The secretary products of endocrine glands are called hormones and are secreted directly into the blood and then carried throughout the body where they influence only those cells that have receptors sites for that hormone.
