Distinguish between endocrine and exocrine glands and give examples of each
What will be an ideal response?
Exocrine glands secrete substances, typically via a duct onto a surface (interior or exterior). Examples of exocrine glands include sweat glands, tear glands, and the portion of the pancreas that secretes digestive enzymes. Endocrine glands produce chemical messengers known as hormones, typically directly into the bloodstream. Examples of endocrine glands include the ovaries, the pituitary of the brain, and a portion of the pancreas produces hormones, as well.
