What are their secretory products?
Secretory products refer to substances produced and released by cells or glands in the body. These can include hormones, enzymes, mucus, and various proteins. For example, endocrine glands secrete hormones like insulin, while exocrine glands release substances such as saliva or digestive enzymes. Each type of secretory product plays a crucial role in regulating bodily functions and maintaining homeostasis.
Compare endocrine glands and excocrine glands?
The main difference between exocrine and endocrine glands is that endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream and have no ducts while exocrine glands secrete chemical substances into ducts.
A gland that secretes through ducts?
either endocrine or exocrine According to my medical terminology book the correct answer would be exocrine. Endocrines DO NOT have ducts.
Which organ fuctions in excretory system?
These are the sweat glands, technically known as exocrine glands. That is very wrong!! Exocrine secrete hormones. The correct answer is sweat glands which is technically known as "sudoriferous glands".
What do secretory cells of the islets of Langerhans secrete?
Enteroendocrine cells secrete satiation peptides that produce the feeling of 'fullness' in the brain. Hormones from these cells also act to control gut motility, release of enzymes, HCl, bile, and other components for digestion.
Do the pancreatic islets secrete their hormones into the same duct system used by the exocrine secretory cells?
No
Glands that secrete hormones into ducts are known as?
exocrine
What does the exocrine glands secrete?
Hormones, different glands produce different hormones.
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.
Is Endocrine and exocrine glands both secrete their products through ducts?
No. Exocrine glands have tubes (ducts) leading from them to some other body part or cavity. Endocrine glands are ductless and secrete their substances.... mostly hormones..... into the intercellular space and these hormones are then picked up by the bloodstream and transported throughout the body to where they are needed.
Compare endocrine glands and excocrine glands?
The main difference between exocrine and endocrine glands is that endocrine glands secrete hormones into the bloodstream and have no ducts while exocrine glands secrete chemical substances into ducts.
What cells secrete continuously through its life time?
Glandular cells, such as those found in the endocrine and exocrine glands, continuously secrete substances throughout their lifespan. These secretions can include hormones, enzymes, and other important compounds that are essential for various bodily functions.
What are the Ductless glands that secrete hormones known as?
Glands that secrete hormones do that into the blood, not into ducts. Hormones are not secreted into ducts. glands that secrete into ducts are called exocrine glands. Glands that secrete hormones are endocrine glands.
Other than the secretion of hormones how does an endocrine gland differ from an exocrine gland?
Endocrine glands secrete their products into the blood whereas the Exocrine glands secrete their products directly into the target organ for example the parotid gland secretes the salyva directly into the mouth without using theblood for transpor.
What is the physiology of the pancreas?
The pancreas is a dual-function gland. While most glands are either exocrine or endocrine, the pancreas has both exocrine and endocrine functions. Exocrine glands secrete substances outside the body or into the gut, while endocrine glands secrete substances into the blood. Consequently, the physiology of the pancreas can be considered in the context of the substances that the pancreas releases into the gut (it does not excrete substances outside the body) or into the blood. Products from the exocrine portion of the pancreas are called enzymes and include trypsin, chymotrypsin, pancreatic amylase, and pancreatic lipase. Major products of the endocrine pancreas are called hormones and include insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin.
What are the two glands that secrete digestive enzymes into the first part of the small intestine?
liver produces BILE and pancreas acts as an exocrine gland by producing pancreatic juice
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
