Can you compare endocrine glands and exocrine glands and give an example of each kind of gland?
Exocrine glands are a type of ductal glands that secrete their products into ducts that lead directly into the external environment. They are the counterparts to endocrine glands, which secrete their products (hormones) directly into the bloodstream (ductless glands) or release hormones (paracrines) that affect only target cells nearby the release site. ChaCha on!
