Detailed explanation-1: -Endocrine glands do not have ducts. Exocrine glands have ducts. Secretory products are released directly into the bloodstream, eventually reaching the target organ. Secretory products are released to an internal organ or the external surface through a duct.
Detailed explanation-2: -Two principal types of glands exist: exocrine and endocrine. 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].
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: -Expert-verified answer A gland is a collection of cells in the body of an animal that produce substances (such as hormones) for release into the bloodstream (endocrine gland) or into cavities within the body or on its surface (exocrine gland).
Detailed explanation-5: -The cells in these glands secrete specific chemicals called hormones. Hormones circulate around the body via the blood stream and modulate cellular or organ functions by binding with receptors in the target cells. Hormones that stimulate and control the activity of other endocrine glands are called trophic hormones.
