endocrine
Exocrine glands have ducts. Endocrine glands do not have ducts.
The tear ducts
The seminal vesicle ducts empty into the ejaculatory ducts. These ducts are formed by the merger of the seminal vesicle ducts and the vas deferens. The ejaculatory ducts then pass through the prostate gland and open into the urethra, contributing to the semen during ejaculation.
compound because they attach to a branched duct.
The extension of a gland refers to the portion of the gland that is extended or projected beyond its main body. This extension can include ducts, lobules, or secretory units that are responsible for producing and releasing substances such as hormones or enzymes.
A simple branched gland has a single duct that divides into multiple branches within the gland. In contrast, a compound gland has multiple ducts that lead to a single secretory unit or multiple secretory units grouped together. Compound glands are typically larger and more complex in structure compared to simple branched glands.
Exocrine glands have ducts. Endocrine glands do not have ducts.
An example of a simple branched acinar gland is the sebaceous gland, which produces oil or sebum to lubricate and protect the skin and hair follicles.
Lactiferous Ducts form a tree branched system connecting the lobules of the mammary gland to the tip of the nipple. They are the structure which carry milk toward the nipple in a lactating female.

The salivary gland is a flask-shaped gland with unbranched ducts. These glands produce saliva that helps with digestion by moistening food and breaking down carbohydrates.
The hormone primarily responsible for the growth of mammary gland ducts during pregnancy is estrogen.
"Glands without ducts" are called "ductless" or "endocrine" glands. These include the pancreas and pituitary gland. Endocrine glands produce hormones, which are then carried by the bloodstream for transport around the body. The opposite type of gland is called the exocrine glands. They include the sweat gland and the salivary gland: they have ducts, which pass hormones or other substances directly to where they are needed.
This gland would be classified as an exocrine gland. Exocrine glands secrete their products, such as enzymes or hormones, through ducts directly to the external environment or surface of the body.
