Glands are collections of one or more cells that secrete signaling molecules like hormones. An exocrine gland is a gland that secretes its products through ducts on the epithelial surface of the target tissue. Example : salivary gland and sebaceous glands. Endocrine glands are ductless glands and release their secretions directly into the intercellular fluid or into the bloodstream. Hormones are chemical messages that are secreted from the glands of the endocrine system, they are specific in their target location and action in the body. Endocrine hormones are secreted within the tissue and enter the bloodstream via capillaries. The major glands of the endocrine system include the pineal gland, pituitary gland, pituitary gland, pancreas, ovaries, testes, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, hypothalamus and adrenal glands.
