Detailed explanation-1: -The key difference between the two types is that, whereas exocrine glands secrete substances into a ductal system to an epithelial surface, endocrine glands secrete products directly into the bloodstream [1]. Exocrine secretions form in the acinus, a small cluster of cells at the origination of glandular ducts.
Detailed explanation-2: -Endocrine glands are the glands that secrete hormones without ducts, while exocrine glands secrete hormones through ducts.
Detailed explanation-3: -1. The exocrine gland sends their secretions through ducts directly to target organs of the body. 1. Endocrine glands are the ductless glands of the endocrine system that secrete their products, hormones directly into the blood.
Detailed explanation-4: -An exocrine gland is a gland that secretes its products into ducts that lead to the target tissue. Examples of exocrine glands are sweat, salivary, sebaceous, mucous gland. An endocrine gland is a gland which secretes its products directly into the blood stream.
