Detailed explanation-3: -There is another type of gland called an exocrine gland (e.g. sweat glands, lymph nodes). These are not considered part of the endocrine system as they do not produce hormones and they release their product through a duct. Information on these glands is not included on this website.
Detailed explanation-4: -Some glands retain their continuity with the surface via a duct and are known as EXOCRINE GLANDS. 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: -The salivary glands in the mouth are another example of exocrine glands and include the parotid glands, submandibular glands, and sublingual glands.
