They are known as the exocrine or duct glands
Endocrine glands secrete hormones which control the cells of the body.
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.

Glands that secrete hormones do that into the blood, not into ducts. Hormones are not secreted into ducts. glands that secrete into ducts are called exocrine glands. Glands that secrete hormones are endocrine glands.
endocrine glands
Endocrine glands secrete into the bloodstream. in contrast, other glands secrete their products via ducts.
Endocrine glands secrete directly into the blood. Exocrine glands secrete through ducts onto an organ surface.
The main difference between exocrine and endocrine glands is that endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream and have no ducts while exocrine glands secrete chemical substances into 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.
None, nerve endings aren't endocrine glands, are they?
Mucus glands are exocrine, not endocrine, glands. They secrete mucus via ducts.
