Other glands lose this direct continuity with the surface when their ducts degenerate during development. These glands are known as ENDOCRINE glands. This is the parotid gland, a type of salivary gland.

Detailed explanation-5: -Merocrine glands: Merocrine glands release their substances through a process called exocytosis. Apocrine glands: Apocrine glands make buds of the cell membranes, which break off into the duct.
