Question

What is the difference between an exocrine gland and an endocrine gland?

Answer 1

The exocrine glands send their secretions through ducts to the target organs. For example, salivary glands, pancreas, etc. On the other hand, the endocrine glands are ductless glands. Their secretions are called hormones, which are poured directly into the blood and are then carried by blood to the target organs.
