Chapter 4, Problem 10CP
Summary Introduction
To review:
The differences between endocrine glands and exocrine glands and examples of the three functional classes of exocrine glands based on the mechanism of secretion.
Introduction:
The endocrine glands are the ductless glands as they release their secretion directly into bloodstream whereas exocrine glands are the glands that release their secretion into the target tissue or organ.
