Endocrine glands basically means our hormones are released into the bloodstream ore into our lymph system. Now, this is in contrast to a different type of system that uses different types of glands. This system is known as the exocrine system and it uses exocrine glands. These axocrine glands basically release the chemicals into our ducts and these ducts carry these chemicals into the external environment. And one example of an exocrine gland is the sweat gland also known as our pseudoriferous gland. And the pseudoriferous gland basically creates sweat.
