Why endocrine glands are also called ductless glands?
The glands in this category secrete their products, the hormones, into the blood stream, rather than via ducts. They have no ducts. In contrast, the salivary glands secrete saliva into the mouth cavity, rather than the blood stream. These are exocrine glands.
Is Endocrine and exocrine glands both secrete their products through ducts?
No. Exocrine glands have tubes (ducts) leading from them to some other body part or cavity. Endocrine glands are ductless and secrete their substances.... mostly hormones..... into the intercellular space and these hormones are then picked up by the bloodstream and transported throughout the body to where they are needed.
