These are glands whose secretions act on the gland itself.
Local hormones produced by most body tissues are called autocrine and paracrine hormones. Autocrine hormones act on the same cell that produced them, while paracrine hormones act on nearby cells within the same tissue.
In autocrine signaling, a substance produced by a cell effects that cell, as with cytokines in the immunity system. Endrocrine signaling is a systemic response to a substance.
autocrine signalling : the cell automatically signals it self through a chemical that it synthesizes and then respond to . example : insulin like growth factor secreted within muscle cell .
Growth hormone
There are generally three types of cell signaling: autocrine signaling (cell signals itself), paracrine signaling (cell signals nearby cells), and endocrine signaling (cell signals distant cells through hormones).

There are the Salivary Glands, Cardiac glands, Pyloric glands, and the Fundic glands.
No. Apocrine glands are not sebaceous glands. They are specialized sweat glands.
Yes. The adrenal glands are ductless glands.
endocrine glands are glands without ducts.
The two types of glands in a human body are ductless glands and duct glands. A few of the duct glands are tear ducts, sweat glands, and salivary glands.
There are many glands that make up the endocrine glands. These glands include the pancreas, the thymus gland, the pituitary gland, the pineal glands, and the adrenal glands.
