How do endocrine and exocrine glands differ?

Exocrine glands produce only enzymes, while endocrine glands produce only sweat.

Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, while exocrine glands release their products through ducts to body surfaces or cavities.

Both endocrine and exocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream.

Endocrine glands use ducts to transport their secretions, while exocrine glands release hormones into the blood.

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the basic definitions of endocrine and exocrine glands: Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream, while exocrine glands release their products through ducts to body surfaces or cavities.

Clarify the types of substances secreted: Endocrine glands primarily produce hormones that regulate physiological processes, whereas exocrine glands produce substances like enzymes, sweat, or mucus.

Examine the method of secretion: Endocrine glands lack ducts and rely on the circulatory system to transport their secretions, while exocrine glands use ducts to deliver their products to specific locations.

Identify examples of each type: Examples of endocrine glands include the thyroid gland and adrenal glands, while examples of exocrine glands include sweat glands and salivary glands.

Compare the functional roles: Endocrine glands play a role in systemic regulation of body functions (e.g., metabolism, growth), while exocrine glands are involved in localized functions like digestion or thermoregulation.
