PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -An exocrine gland, unlike an endocrine gland, is a gland that secretes substances (electrolytes, proteins or enzymes) straight to a target site via ducts or tube. Some examples include: Salivary glands.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glands without ducts are called “ductless” or “endocrine” glands. They release their secretions directly into the bloodstream. Pituitary is the master endocrine gland which regulates the secretions of other endocrine glands such as pancreas, thyroid gland, gonads, adrenal gland, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Endocrine glands, such as the pancreas and thyroid gland, use the bloodstream to monitor the body’s internal environment and to communicate with each other through substances called hormones, which are released into the bloodstream.

Detailed explanation-4: -Unicellular glands are a special type of exocrine gland that do not have ducts.
