This is an exocrine gland, which secretes products directly onto an epithelium instead of into the blood stream like an endocrine gland would.

Answer: Exocrine

Step-by-step explanation:

The exocrine glands are the glands that secrete their substances or secretions directly into a duct. The examples of the exocrine glands include the salivary, sweat, ceruminous, sebaceous, mucous and mammary glands. The exocrine glands secrete glands ions, water, mucins, enzymes and other substances. These glands can be found in regions of the respiratory tract, mouth cavity, skin pores, and digestive tracts.
