"Glands without ducts" are called "ductless" or "endocrine" glands. These include the pancreas and pituitary gland. Endocrine glands produce hormones, which are then carried by the bloodstream for transport around the body. The opposite type of gland is called the exocrine glands. They include the sweat gland and the salivary gland: they have ducts, which pass hormones or other substances directly to where they are needed.
