The sebaceous glands and sweat glands secretes their secretions on the surface. That is on the skin. Technically the glands of the intestine also secrete their secretions on the surface. The intestinal cavity is never 'inside' your body. It is out side your body.

What gland secretes its products into ducts that empty onto a surface or into a cavity?
the exocrine gland.
Is prostate gland exocrine or endocrine?
Exocrine gland are the glands that secrete their products through the ducts, and discharges it into the external environment, to organs or the outside the body. Where as Endocrine gland have ducts that deliver the products in the superficial part of the body, such as the skin, or in the inner part where they are necessary such as the pancreatic juice that is carried into the intestine to aid digestion.
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 system secretes salt and water through sweat glands?
There are two systems of the body that controls the secretion of sweat from the human body, 1 is the endocrine system and also 2 the sympathetic nervous system.
How does sweat glands lower body temperature?
Sweat glands secrete water onto the surface of the skin. When this water evaporates it carries with it body heat, thus cooling the body and lowering temperature.

What gland contains a duct that empties onto the skins surface?
Eccrine Glands
What type of epithelium that secretes into ducts that open onto surfaces like skin or into body fluids?

How do phagocytes protect the body?
Phagocytes are a type of white blood cell. A phagocyte flows around bacteria, and sort of creates and dent in itself, which the bacteria goes into, and then the phagocyte closes around it, trapping the bacteria. Then the phagocyte secretes enzmes onto the bacteria to digest it.
