Exocrine glands are glands that secrete their products to the outside of the body. Examples include sweat glands, which secrete a hypotonic salt solution to the surface of the skin; portions of the pancreas, which secrete pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes and bicarbonate into the small intestine; and salivary glands, which secrete saliva into the mouth.
