Gap Junctions
Ductless glands....
Endocrine
Glands that have ducts
Exocrine
Glands that secrete their products into ducts that open onto surfaces, such as the skin or lining of the digestive tract
Exocrine Glands
Glands that secrete their products into tissue fluid or blood
Endocrine Glands
Types of Epithelial membranes
Serous Membranes
Mucous Membranes
Cutaneous Membranes
