WHY E.GLANDS ARE CALLED DUCTLESS GLANDS?
A duct is a ‘tube’ or ‘canal’ through which liquids can flow in our body. So when you call endocrine glands as ‘ductless’, you mean that they don’t have any canals through which their secretions can pass through.

The secretions are directly mixed with the blood to reach their target organ.
(e.g) Thyroid gland is endocrine and secretes thyroxine into the blood.
