What is the difference between endocrine and exocrine glands?
Endocrine glands secrete their hormones directly into the bloodstream. Exocrine glands secrete their hormones into a duct that leaves the body externally: for example, sweat glands empty onto the skin. Endocrine gland secretes compounds (hormones) into the blood. Exocrine gland secretes compounds outside of the body (including into the GI tract since the GI tract is topologically outside of the body). Exocrine glands have ducts that carry their secretory product to a surface. These glands include the sweat, sebaceous, and mammary glands and, the glands that secrete digestive enzymes.The endocrine glands do not have ducts to carry their product to a surface. They are called ductless glands. The word endocrine is derived from the Greek terms "endo," meaning within, and "krine," meaning to separate or secrete. The secretory products of endocrine glands are called hormones and are secreted directly into the blood and then carried throughout the body where they influence only those cells that have receptor sites for that hormone.

What is the process when a snake remove it skin?
The common name is shedding, or sloughing. The technical term is ecdysis. Basically, when a snake 'outgrows' its skin, it secretes a fluid (mainly composed of vitamin A) between the current layer, and a new layer of skin underneath. This is what turns the snakes eyes a milky blue-white. After a few days, the snake breaks the skin (usually at the mouth) and crawls out of it - turning the skin inside-out in the process.
