Many adults living in the US become curious about doctor prescribed growth hormone replacement therapy when they begin to experience chronic symptoms, such as low energy, fatigue and low sex drive, that are frequently associated with your bodyâs declining growth hormone levels.
External, or exocrine, secretion is distinguished from internal, or endocrine, secretion. In external secretion the products elaborated by a gland are released into the external environment; the secretion first enters the glandular duct, from which it is discharged onto the surface of the body or into hollow organs.
What is the difference between the endocrine gland and the exocrine gland? Endocrine gland is a gland whose secretions (called hormones) are collected by the blood and reach the tissues through the circulation. The hypophysis (pituitary) and the adrenals are examples of endocrine glands. Exocrine gland is a gland whose secretions are released externally through ducts (into the skin, intestinal lumen, mouth, etc.). The sebaceous glands and the salivary glands are examples of exocrine glands.
