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.
Compare duct glands and ductless glands?
Duct glands secrete their products through ducts into body cavities or surfaces, such as sweat and salivary glands. Ductless glands, also known as endocrine glands, secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. Duct glands have a network of tubes to transport their products, while ductless glands release their products into the circulatory system for delivery to target tissues.
Why are the endocrine glands called ductless glands?
Because an endocrine glad does not have a tube through which it delivers hormone to the body. They just release their hormones into the space around the gland, which diffuse into the blood stream.

What are the only two glands that are ductless?
Glands that secrete their contents into the blood stream. Examples Adrenal Gland and Thyroid Gland. Some glands are both duct/ductless. The Pancreas secretes several hormones into the blood stream and also secretes enzymes via ducts into the small bowel.
Which hormone is produced in the endocrine gland?
Endocrine glands are glands which secrete oil, sweat, enzymes into ducts. Example: sweat glands, sebaceous glands, digestive gland, mucous. Correction! Exocrine glands are those which secrete to the outside (can still be inside the body- for example hormones involved in digestion) which have ducts and secrete oil- sebaceous glands. Endocrine glands secrete to hormones the "inside" and DO NOT have ducts, they are ductless.
Are the adrenal glands ductless glands?
Yes. The adrenal glands are ductless glands.
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.
