ductless

secretes hormons that enter the blood stream (e.g thyroid gland)

Exocrine Glands

Back 5

secretion through duct of body surface (e.g sweating)

have functions of both endocrine and exocrine glands

Front 7

Covering and Lining Epithelial Tissue

Back 7

lines body surfaces, organ surfaces, body cavities, and lumina of vessels

Front 8
