The external digestive glands associated with the human digestive system are the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. These glands secrete substances that help in the breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients in the digestive process.
A compound acinar gland is a type of exocrine gland in the body that consists of many acini (small sac-like structures) that secrete their products into a common duct. These glands are found in areas like the pancreas and salivary glands where they secrete digestive enzymes and saliva, respectively.
The salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and small intestine all secrete various digestive enzymes to help break down food components like carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. These enzymes play a crucial role in the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the body.
The conjunctiva gland secretes mucus, which helps to lubricate and protect the surface of the eye.
The purpose of the dignitary gland is to secrete a liquid that lubricates and protects the urethra during ejaculation.

Endocrine glands are glands which secrete oil, sweat, enzymes into ducts. Example: sweat glands, sebaceous glands, digestive gland, mucous. Correction! Exocrine glands are those which secrete to the outside (can still be inside the body- for example hormones involved in digestion) which have ducts and secrete oil- sebaceous glands. Endocrine glands secrete to hormones the "inside" and DO NOT have ducts, they are ductless.
The Thyroid Gland secretes Calcitonin.
