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: -What’s the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands? Exocrine glands secrete their substances through ducts onto your body’s surfaces. On the other hand, endocrine glands secrete their substances directly into your bloodstream. They’re called ductless glands.
Detailed explanation-3: -Exocrine glands secrete their products directly into ducts, whereas endocrine glands release their products (hormones) into the bloodstream.
