*’exocrine glands’ are ‘glands’ that ‘produce’ + ‘secrete’ substances onto an ‘epithelial surface’ by way of a ‘duct’*
.
(examples of ‘exocrine glands’ include…)
‘sweat glands’
‘salivary glands’
‘mammary glands’
“mama mia!”
‘ceruminous glands’
‘lacrimal glands’
‘sebaceous glands’
‘mucous glands’
.
(‘exocrine glands’ are 1 of 2 types of ‘glands’ in the ‘human body’, the other being ‘endocrine glands’, which secrete their products directly into the ‘bloodstream’)
.
(the ‘liver’ + ‘pancreas’ are BOTH ‘exocrine’ AND ‘endocrine’ glands)
they are ‘exocrine glands’ because they secrete ‘products’ – (‘bile’ + ‘pancreatic juice’) – into the ‘gastro-intestinal tract’ through a series of ‘ducts’…)
(…and ‘endocrine’ because they secrete other ‘substances’ directly into the ‘bloodstream’)
