How do endocrine glands differ from other glands?
Endocrine glands secrete hormones and exocrine glands secrete enzymes. Endocrine glands secrete hormones directly into the blood stream, while exocrine glands secrete enzymes through ducts. endocrine is ductless gland exocrine retain their duct, exocrine empty through their duct to epithelial such as sweat, oil, glands, liver and pancrease
How do the endocrine and exocrine gland's differ in structure and function?
The glands in human body are of two types. One is exocrine glands and the other isendocrine glands. The exocrine glands produce fluid secretions that are delivered by tubes or ducts either to the body surface for example glands of skin or to the inner regions where these are required for example pancreas delivers its pancreatic juice to the intestine for digesting food etc. Endocrine glands produce secretions called hormones that are not carried by ducts but are passed into the blood streamand carried to the target area by blood circulation. The following endocrine glands are present in human body; pituitary gland, pancreas (islets of langerhans), thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and gonads. The function of endocrine glands is very much inter-related. Several of the hormones produced by them serve only to alter the functions of other endocrine glands. They serve as double check automatic control over one another. The pituitary gland is known as master gland in the body and plays an important role in several ways. It has certain hormones which have direct action on the body for example the growth hormone. Thyroid gland is located in the neck and fits closely around the from and side of trachea just below the organ of voice of larynx.Endocrine glands lose their connection to the surface, and are often called ductless glands. Their secretions diffuse directly into the blood vessels that weave through the glands. Exocrine glands retain their ducts and their secretions empty through the ducts to the epithelieal surface. They are both internal and external.The function of the endocrine system is to secrete regulatory hormones into the bloodstream, whereas the exocrine system is designed to secrete substances other than hormones, into ducts which lead to the external environment. To compare structure, endocrine glands are far more vascular, and do not require ducts. Endocrine glands include such organs as the pituitary and adrenal glands. Exocrine glands include such things as sweat, salivary and mammary glands.Not all glands are exclusively endocrine or exocrine; the pancreas produces both insulin which is released into the bloodstream, and pancreatic juices which are directed into the digestive tract via the pancreatic duct.Endocrine Glands eventually lose their ducts, they are often call doctles glands; they produce hormones.Exocrine Glands secrete their products into body surfaces (skin) or body cavities, they include mucous, sweat, osl, and salivary glands.Unicellular exocrine glands produ mucin a glyro protain that dissolve in water when secreted, once disolve musin forms mucus. In globe cells mucin distine the top of the cell, making the cell look like a glass with a steam.
What is the master gland that produces many hormones that control the function of other endocrine glands?
The pituitary gland is often referred to as the master gland because it produces and releases hormones that regulate the functions of other endocrine glands in the body. These hormones control processes such as growth, metabolism, and reproductive functions.

Why is the master gland incorrect?
The term "master gland" is outdated and misleading because it implies that one gland controls all others, which is not entirely true. The endocrine system works as a complex network of glands that interact with each other through feedback loops, rather than one single gland being in charge.
What type of secretion is insulin?
Insulin is an endocrine hormone secreted by the pancreas. You could call it endocrine or pancreatic secretion.
What is a gland doctor call?
Endocrinologist
What do you call the neurons that connect the brain with endocrine glands?
the motor glands
What do you call the messengers in the endocrine system?
The second most important is cAMP
Does the pituitary gland controls the functions of all the glands in of the body?
yes, that's why they call it the master gland.
What endocrine glands are located above each kidney?
The Adrenal gland. As a point of interest the gland is named for is position above the kidney. Ad=above renal=kidney. The supstance it produces is called adrenaline. So the gland is named for its position and the hormoned named after the gland, logical no? But some people (Americans) think the rest of the world should call the hormone epinephrine simply because that's what they have been calling it...
What do you call the secretions of the ductless glands?
You call them hormones. Hormones are poured in the blood. They are transported by blood to give effect at some distant place in your body.
