What is Exocrine gland?
An '''exocrine [[gland]]''' puts out (excretes) its product by a [[wikt:duct|duct]]. The duct goes to some environment outside the gland, either inside the body or onto the surface of the body. An [[endocrine gland]] is its counterpart. It secretes its essential product directly into the [[bloodstream]] or else by diffusion into its surrounding tissue. Its product often acts on cells near the release site. Examples of exocrine organs and glands: *[[Gall bladder]] *[[Liver]] *[[Pancreas]] *[[Prostate]] *[[Mammary gland]]s *[[Salivary gland]]s *[[Sweat gland]]s [[Category:Exocrine system| ]]
