Answer:

Differences between Exocrine and Endocrine Glands are as follows:

Exocrine Glands:

  • Exocrine Glands are the glands that secrete their products ( excluding harmones and other chemical messengers) into ducts (duct gland) which lead directly into the external environment.
  • They are closer to the target cells.
  • Their secretion remains inside the duct and reach the target cells directly.
  • Their secretions are called Enzymes.
  • Examples: pancreas , salivary glands etc.

Endocrine Glands:

  • Endocrine Glands are the glands of endocrine system that secrete their products, harmones directly into the blood rather than through a duct.
  • They may be far from the target cells.
  • Their secretion pass to all parts of the body but show effect on the target cells only.
  • Their secretion are called harmones.
  • Example: pituitary gland , Testes etc.

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...
