Two kinds of glands, exocrine (secretes products into ducts) and endocrine (secrete products into body fluids).
Endocrine System Endocrine Glands-unlike exocrine glands (which secrete their secretory products into ducts), endocrine gland secrete their products directly into the blood. - Some glands have both an endocrine and exocrine function and are termed heterocrine glands. Endocrine glands are also called ductless glands, because they secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. In contrast, exocrine glands release their secretions through ducts (for example, the sweat glands produce fluid that flows to the skin's surface through tiny tubelike sweat ducts). The body contains two types of glands: Exocrine glands secrete their products into ducts or directly onto. epithelial surfaces. Endocrine glands secrete their products called hormones, into the extracellular fluid around the secretory cells. 11.1 Introduction. (p. 293). A. The endocrine system is made up of the cells, tissues, and organs that secrete hormones into body fluids. The body has two kinds of glands, exocrine (secretes products into ducts) and endocrine (secrete products into body fluids). 11.2 General Characteristics of the Endocrine System. (p. 293; Fig. Exocrine glands are glands whose secretions pass into a system of ducts that lead ultimately to the exterior of the body. So the inner surface of the glands and the ducts that drain them are topologically continuous with the exterior of the body (the skin). how do endocrine glands differ from exocrine glands. how do endocrin glands endocrine glands secrete tiny amounts of hormones directly into the bloodstream (ductless glands) and exocrine glands secret their products onto epithelial surfaces through tiny tubes called ducts(exo means out or external).
